Chemistry Club Strange and permeating odors drifting out of Room 228 after school often meant that members of Chemistry Club were hard at work on their individual research projects. Adviser john Hale and President Greg Bullard aided students with their projects at weekly meetings. Spending most of their time in the laboratory, mem- bers restricted other club functions to one field trip to the University of Oregon chemistry laboratories. Here students in- spected the equipment and gained first- hand information from lab personnel. The club helped increase student interest in chemistry and gave members an oppor- tunity to use school science facilities. Physics Club Involved experiments on wave behavior, echoes, vacuums, and work with an os- cilloscope were conducted by members of the Physics Club under the direction of President Mike Stronach and Adviser Dr. Dirk Ten Brinke. Meeting once a week, the boys discussed problems which they encountered in their research experiments. Activities included a series of films on modern aeronautics and metallurgy, a lec- ture by a University of Oregon professor, and a field trip to the Linfield College Science Open House.
