In March the club invited the Chemistry classes to join them on a tour of the world's largest chemical plant, Dupont Chambe rs Works in Pennsgrove, N. J. There we were conducted by bus over the whole plant and then through the Jackson Lab- oratories. Many other trips such as R. C. A. laboratories, Fairless Steel Plant, and Atlantic City Electric, are in the final planning as we go to press and we are quite sure of winning the annual Lowell-Agassiz. basketball game.

Lowell Society In 1923, Dr. Green organized a club devoted to literature and called it the Lowell Society in honor of James R. Lowell. Since that time it has become one of the most active clubs in the school. lt has become the chief rival of the Agas- siz. Club and a traditional annual basketball game has been played between the clubs. This year the Lowell Society has taken an active part in the life of the school. Officers were elected during the first meetingg Morris Fabian, Presidentg H. Arthur Smith, Vice-Presidentg Conrad Youngbliut, Secretary and Colin Smith, Treasurer. The Society took frequent trips to the Bucks County Theater during the fall and saw Millicent's Cast1e , Dial M for Murder , and Murderwithout Crime , also Bus Stop , performed in Princeton. In the early part of the year, the club took a trip to Trenton to see The Egyptian , a motion picture. For the remainder ofthe year the club plans many trips, including a Shakespearian play to be given at Princeton. Largely because of the aid and in- spiration of our advisor, Mr. Cragin, this has been a successful year. He has helped the club in carryingout its main objectives, the furthering of Lit- erary understanding. L. to R.: C. Yungbliut Sec., C. Smith Treas., M. Fabian Pres. A. Smith Vice-Pres. 4-6

The Wesley Club The nine members of the Wesley Club which is named after John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, meet every Wednesday in the music room. The purpose of the club is two-fold, and it has many projects underway to accomplish each of its goals. First, as Christians, they must help to make others aware of God. To attain this they have taken part in the Sunday Chapel Services. Secondly, the club has made the public on the outside become more aware of the school by sending groups into the community. Some of their activities have been visiting churches such as Trinity Cathedral in Trenton, and taking a trip to New York to hear some of the outstanding preachers of our time. The club will also see the displays at the Metropolitan Art Museum. The Wesley C'1ub, under the able leadership of our Headmaster, Dr. Pirnm, was one ofthe most active organizations in the school. The officers of the club are Walter Cottrell, President: Ronald Howell, Chaplain, and Robert Price, Secretary. There is no doubt that next year the club will be even more active. We give a 'big hand' to these boys for their broad and practical view on a very important part of our life. 48
