S. was the Math Club, and for the first time the mathematical geniuses have a Chance to express them- selves outside the classroom. This Club combines good times with the process of learning- This year the Club has spe- cialized upon the application Of the slide rule to solving Problems. The Math Club was under the direction of Miss Keckley, and since she herself has such a keen interest in mathematics, we know it was Very capably performed. We Sincerely hope the Math Club Centtnues next year With as much zeal as it has this year. The Science Club, directed by Mr. Martin, has grown into one of the most progressive clubs in the school. The main purposes of the Science Club are: first, to further the scientific incline tions of its members, and, sec- ond, to create an interest in science among the other stu- dents of the school. This club provides projec- tionists for all occasions, and sometimes conducts experi- ments for seventh and eighth grade science classes. Because the new members who joined this year show un- usual scientific ability, the fu- ture for the Science Club looks very bright. President. D. Graeter Vice President ................. 1.

If we were selecting the club which had the most fun, the Dramatic Club here at Plain- ville, Masque and Mantle, would be right there at the finish line. Although it was founded here at Plainville only last year, it has furnished the school with some very enter- taining assemblies. Under Mr. Gossard's capable directorship the club has produced two one- act plays and some side-split- ting monologues. The club had a hard time breaking into the meeting schedule, but it Was finally decided that the group would meet every other Wed- nesday evening. President ...... D.

In our monthly meetings we learn of the domestic and bel- ligerent affairs of the Roman people, their habits, descrip- tions of their homes and coun- try. We also learn of great leaders, as Caesar and Cicero, in the classical field, their back- ground and feats. The I. C. L., one of the newer clubs in P. H 8., is affiliated With the Na- tional Association, and thus we learn of achievements of other groups. Mrs. Handman, who is very learned in the classics. was our advisor and under her guidance! the I. C. L of '49 has been most entertaining and informative.
