Students Research Projects The Science Research Club consisted of three branches: Biology, Chemistry and Physics. The pri- mary purpose of this club was to assist students, on a regular basis, with their Science Proiect. No offi- cers were elected as the group felt that each indi- vidual should have actively shared in the responsi- bility of the club's activities. The entire group was responsible for participating in and organizing the annual Science Symposium, which was presented in April. The faculty selected the most outstanding proiects and entered them into the Rutgers Science Fair. Y This year, all members of the Chemistry branch worked on a group proiect related to pollution. Physics members attended laboratory work shops at Monmouth College fin the eveningsl on a frequent basis. Two proiects of merit were: Determination of Electric Field by Numeric lntergration Analysis fby Mike lncel, and The Effect of Pollutants on the Thermal Capacity of Atmospheric Gases 'fby Steve Schaferj. In the Biology branch films were shown on pollu- tion. Some projects that exhibited potential in- cluded: U7 The Effect of Ultraviolet Irradiation and Urethane on Tumorous Crown Gall fPlant Cancerj, QD The Sublethal Effects of DDT on the Nervous System of the Brook Trout Salvelinus fontinalis, CSD The Use of Gingo Leaf Extract for a Cure of the Common Cold, Q41 The Effect of Various Sound Frequencies on Guppy Reproduction, C51 Red Leg: A Practical Control for Bacillus Infected Frogs, fbi The Effect of Citrus Oils on Bacterial Populations, UD The Effect of Detergent Pollutants on the Regen- eration Abilities of Planaria, Q81 The Effects of Tem- perature on the Catalase Activity in Plant and Ani- mal Tissue. .... k ..-. 1.-A .. cs -K fs Q + 'kb-.sn fs?'r-3'tii i 1?'!T't51 YP 1 t.-..'..f..a.m.',..f !

f 1.1 X 5 .f .swim Q was R. xr. . .WX .5 si X s t si l Balancing Beauties On Tuesdays and Thursdays of each week it was Limber Up time in the third gymnasium of the school. Under the coaching of Mrs. Gisela DuVig- neau, girls clad in leotard outfits worked out on ap- paratus such as bars, beam, and uneven parallel bars. An interesting piece of apparatus is the horse. Often confused with the animal, it provided the op- portunity for the girls to iump on a springboard and then leap over the horse possibly in a straddle or squat vault. Some of the stunts mastered by the girls included somersaults, cartwheels, walkovers, limbers, and backbends. New Club Active To the non-skier, a herringbone may be part of o fish's anatomical structure or the design of materi- al. However, to the high school Ski Club, the her- ringbone, or method of walking uphill on skis, was vital to a successful day on the slopes. The Ski Club provided an organized means through which the beginner skiers could visit local slopes in Vernon Valley, New Jersey. For the true ski enthusiast, there was a trip to Mt. Snow in Vermont, where the students stayed with two chaperones for a week- end. The club also sponsored ski related fashion shows and movies to introduce many students to the exhilarating sport of skiing.

Ecologists Plan Trips The Ecology Club was a relatively small group. The members were involved in various proiects this past year. These included working on plans for a nature trail, maintaining aquariums located in Miss GodIey's room, and working in the greenhouse with Mr. Williams. This year the Ecology Club also took two trips, one in the fall to Brooklyn Botanical Gar- dens and another trip in the spring. Members of the club who worked in the green- house with Mr. Williams hoped to be able to sell plants to faculty, students, and other interested parties. The advisors of the club were Miss Godley, Mrs. Treharn, and Mr. Williams. Creative Objects Students interested in Industrial Arts craftsman- ship ioined the Industrial Arts Club. These creative builders spent the year working on proiects, which included building shelves, cutting boards, and other useful and creative obiects out of the mediums of wood and metal. Advisors for the club were Mr. Schwartz and Mr. Lynch. ., M... .,...........,,,,,,, NM in K
