S ' C54-5 lf-5 fl44i41m-14 Desirous to increase their understanding of the newest advances on the subject of their chosen study, the Science Club met to dis- cuss several pressing modern-day scientific problems. The purpose of the club was to promote original investigation in all the branches of science. Assisted by their advisor, Miss jane Adams, the mem- bers sought to educate themseves by learning new facts in the field in which they have proved themselves to be interested. Noon meet- ings were held whenever the members desired to get together. The program usually consisted of the presentation of a paper on some chemical problem by one of the faculty or members. A discussion then took place at which time the problem was solved. Movies were shown dealing with all forms of science. Demon- strations with radioactive materials were performed by students. Ofhcers who led the group were jon Katz, presidentg Terry Cham- bers, vice-presidentg and Bill Blackmore, secretary. Field trips were taken to places where the laws of science are illustrated. The members gained more insight by touring industrial laboratories and college laboratories such as those at the University of California at Berkeley. The active members were given a chance to display their knowl- edge in the form of exhibits at the Marin County Science Fair held in the month of March. Here students entered projects dealing in biological sciences, physiological sciences and mathematics. G. Cole, D. Zuern, L. Haines, M.

They assisted the teachers in the science depart- ment with the work of setting up experiments and arranging dem- onstrations. The lab assistants also prepared the chemicals and equipment used in class experiments. They cleaned the lab equip- ment, often assisted with the preparation of special instruction in science courses, and helped in the correcting of written assign- ments. This course was considered college preparatory as it familiarized the students with laboratory equipment and procedure. If they in- tended to continue their work in science, they were better prepared to meet the demands of college science courses. 'wi -f a-5. -Q47 il? 1 iii? ,w

The stu- dents were practicing their part in the half- time entertainment at the football game. They learned that keeping their minds on the forma- tion and also on the music was not an easy job. Redwood High's Marching Band was com- posed of members of the Advanced Band which met first period. Before each game they prac- ticed in the parking lot amid the fog. They for- got the cold as they concentrated on their for- mations and music. At each half-time, as the Redwoodite saw them marching down the field, horns gleaming, uniforms impeccable he beamed with pride and said, Hey, look at that! That's our band! Oh boy! Rally today! As soon as the Red- woodite entered the gym he was greeted with rousing sounds issuing from the Pep Band. The members were volunteers, and practiced on their own time after school. The Pep Band added a sparkle to the eye and let the Redwoodite for- get for a moment his impending final. Arrayed in brilliant scarlet vests, they played their shin- ing instruments with the embellishments and enthusiasm of those absorbed in their work. The Redwoodites knew that no rally would he com- plete without the Pep Band. As the last strains of the Penthouse Sere- nade echoed across the dance floor, couples re- luctantly prepared to leave. The Redwood High Dance Band was entertaining the student body in the gym. The music program covered a wide range of interest, the most important function was that of encouraging the spirit and raising the morale of all Redwood students. 95
