Students join Hobby Clubs Now in its fifth year as a popular organ- ization of Peru High School, the Photography Club started the first semester's activities with the election of officers. Iohn Waltz, last year's president, was chosen for that office again. Keith Shafer was elected vice-presi- dent and Patricia Lininger, secretary-treas- urer. The club with an enrollment of twenty- seven members meets two home room per- iods, the second and fourth Monday each month. lt is the object of the club to discuss some phase of photography each meeting. Several meetings were devoted to the discussion of Kodacolor. Members learned about the pro- cess of taking, developing, and printing pic- tures. Members brought in samples of their own Work, including some pictures of the very earliest types of trains. The Science Club has played an impor- tant part in the activities of Peru High '30 School, it forms an ideal medium through which the students may discuss the different phases of science and may come into a closer understanding with them. The club has seventeen members and the officers are lack Sherrill, president, Elmer Lemon, secretary-treasurer, and Donn Ra- mer, vice-president, and Mr. less Dice, spon- sor. ln its meetings the club held discussions on airplanes, motors, and firearms, together with the study of ballistics of both the an- cient and modern weapons. They have shown moving pictures on internal combus- tion engines and have also studied and demonstrated various explosives with a com- parison of black and smokeless powders. Planes are being made for a Model Air- plane Club. When the planes are completed, they are to be tested in a wind tunnel that the club will build.
