A majority of the meetings was devoted to the construction of these models. The members de- signed their own planes, scaled them to the de- sired size and held occasional meetings in the gymnasium where the models were tested. Some members of both Northern's and Cen- tral's Aero clubs belong to the Flint Gas Bugs which meets at the Y. M. C. A. for the purpose of discussing plans for national, state and city con- tests. The members of the club are planning to at- tend the state meet at Lansing at the Capital City airport June 1. Engineers Club Officers Bill Lester ........................... President Lawrence Haut Vice-President Walter Konrad ..........................Secretary George Guiley ............................Sponsor The Engineers club which is one of the newest in the school, was organized for a very practical purpose. The idea was that the club members could receive the necessary training and practi- cal experience to enable them to acquire their amateur radio licenses. This project was first sponsored by the Mott Foundation and later was taken over by the National Youth Association. Meeting twice a week, the Engineers put much of their time and energy into the building of various pieces of radio equipment and long in- struction periods. As a result, these students now have a much better understanding of the work- ings of a radio. It is a well developed hobby, and they have also derived a great deal of pleasure from the club life it offers to those who belong. Page 24 194 1

Speakers who were expert in the field appeared now and then on meeting nights. Among them were Leon Glass and Guy Gaines who talked on the subject of photography as a hobby. Movies taken by Bob McKeen, a member of the club, entertained the club on an- other occasion. A field trip and a theater party were also listed. Much of the photography work in the 1941 Noroscope was taken, developed and printed by the club. In addition, taking Student Union pic- tures was a club project. Charles Kemp, sponsor early in the year, introduced table-top photogra- phy to the group. This work was carried on by George Guiley, new sponsor, after Mr. Kemp resigned. Biology Club Officers Virginia Mayfield .......................President Norma Allen ........................Vice-President Shirley Richiger ........................Secretary Betty Sarver ............................Treasurer Howard Braden .............................Sponsor Many projects, moving-pictures and trips which made the club most interesting were enjoyed by the members of the Biology club in the past year. In the fall, the club sponsored a picnic at Dewey woods to get organized and started on its yearly activities. At Christmas time, they gave a needy family a basket with the assistance of the seventh hour Biology class. Stanley Kuick entertained the group one even- ing with his own moving-picture entitled “My Fishing Trip of 1940.“ Another picture was shown by Louis Roberts concerning Mexico. To enlarge their knowledge of bacteria control in every day life a trip was taken to the McDon- ald Dairy plant and a hike to and tour through the city waterworks was taken. NOROSCOPE Page 23
