Mr. Kauffman. the adviser. looks on with Sandy Hance, secretary. while Hugh Turley, treasurer, Marion Warren, president, and Terry Katterhenry, vice president release the balloon. The Science Club provides an outle for students who like to go a little fur ther than their classroom experiments ir chemistry, physics, and biology. Fact and figures on the slide rule, variou: projects involving balloons, and demon- strations on everything from soup tt nuts make up their meetings. Noon movies, shown on Tuesday Wfednesday, and Thursday of each week of the winter months, relieve the con- gestion in the halls and provide a little capital for the treasury. A The members have access to the chemistry laboratory, biology equip- ment, and physics apparatus, and there is hardly any limit to the extent of theii opportunities. Reading books sometimes becomes boring, so there are plenty ol chances to learn by doing. They have sent up several small weather balloons in the past year, and at the height of the program sent up a six foot balloon. The farthest point ever reached by one of these balloons was eastern Pennsylvania. t.lC?lllfi1fif2-JS P101 Projects ln the last few years the audio-visual department of our school has advanced greatly.

Students can learn the operation of several projectors, the splicing and care of film, and various other jobs which are in- cluded in the activity.

OUT TO GET THAT ADVERTISING . . . jim Fouss. Barb Berg, Shirley Althoff, Barb Hepler, and Don Loch- ard members of the advertising staff. 30 All Work Together On We'll make it this time! So resolved members of our circulation and advertising staffs as they set out in hot pursuit of their goals. Visiting local merchants, industries, and business establishments, the advertising crew sold ads in our book. Contracts were obtained designating the space desired by each advertiser and were kept on file. Un- der the able supervision of advertising man- ager, Todd Bassett, the five-member staff accomplished a great deal toward bolster- ing our revenue. Any Tuesday or Thursday noon last fall members of the circulation staff could be seen charging from room to room. Equipped with contracts, receipt books, and lists of homeroom students, they sold annuals to anyone who would agree. As the money started pouring in, circulation manager, jerry McCoy, and his assistant, Nancy Rose, were mired in stacks of con- tracts, receipts, and long columns of fig- ures. Money-we needed it and got it through hard work and valiant effort! Azmoff Oil co.
