Politicians of the world attention! Port Jervis High School now presents your colleagues of the future. Our Political Science Club may not produce any presidents, but it does provide a chance for its senior members to practice the principles they are taught in the new social studies course, political science. At the same time, it affords the underclassmen of the club a chance to acquire a background in political science. Under the leadership of Mr. Farace, who aside from being a faculty member is a local alder- man, the students discuss the present political situa- tions and the reasons behind them. The club's main activity this year has been taking field trips to ob- serve the actual workings of government. WE ' Pmntsw 4 -2 in-1 I si,

Squares, oddballs, misfits does that accurately describe our Honor Society members? Certainly not! The select members of the Neversink Chapter of the National Honor Society are among the leaders of our school. The purpose of this organization is to foster its ideals-those of scholarship, character, leadership, and service-among the student of Port Jervis Senior High School. The society hopes to help realize its goal by sponsoring trips for honor roll students and giving scholarship insignias to students who have been outstanding in certain subjects. By providing a cultural environment and by setting elevated aca- demic standards, the National Honor Society tries to instill its principles in the student body of our school, producing as an end result, people worthy of honor.

Science gflld Mr. Howard looks over the results of the extra' sensory perception experiment with Liz Giovanniello, Beth Dudko, and Dave Hitt. Conversing with dolphins, transplanting the human heart, investigating new fields of computer science, exploring the universe-any or all of these might someday be the personal task of the members of the 1965-66 Science Club. What are they doing to pre- pare themselves for their future challenge? The Science Club meets regularly to discuss specific prob- lems or advances in any one of the many diverse fields of science. Individual members deliver lectures on topics of their choice. In this way, members are exposed to interesting subjects not touched on in formal schools. Outside speakers are invited to give talks on such interesting topics as photography and electronics. The club is introduced to the new world of space exploration through various movies. It also engages in experiments on interesting subjects such as E.S.P. All of these activities combine to make the student better prepared to understand the world of science around him.
