Here, try this one, suggests Sister Joseph Marie, moderator, to Dianne Dynek as Rosalie Bogenski hopefully awaits her turn to view the prospective slide of snowflakes. Phi Beta Chi Fostered The primary purpose of the Phi Beta Chi science club is to en- kindle within its members cz strong interest in one of the natural or physical sciences. To fulfill their membership re- quirements, the iuniors and sen- iors took either Chemistry, Physics, or mathematics. The knowledge acquired in these subiects was applied to the proiects that were entered in the school science fair in spring. As the aspiring scientists eager- ly began work on their proiects, they were given a first-rate op- portunity to see if they were real- ly destined for a particular career in the vast field of science. To enhance this opportunity, the club meetings included talks on vari- ous medical careers by qualified speakers. This is a weird sensation, exclaims Joan Miller as Sister Helen, a nurse at Saint Anne's, demonstrates how to take a patient's blood pressure to Juliet Power, Mary Drzycimski, secretary, and Joyce Franke, president.

Interest in Scientific Careers lsn't he darling! exclaims Judith Nowak, treasurer, to Muriel Squires as she fondles one of her rabbits that is being used in her science proiect experi- l't1enlS. Isolation of pupae is iust one ot the many phases of experimentation that is performed by Carole Packee and Margaret Becker in growing their cultures of fruittlies. 41 As the weeks sped by, the en- deavors became more concen- trated and serious as students sought the consultation of their faculty advisors. The finished proiects were the result of much planning, research, and endless experimenting. Now a spark of hope stood foremost in each girl's mind--would her proiect be selected to enter the Southeastern Science Fair, sponsored by Mar- quette University and The Mil- waukee Journal?
