Does it sound like a code message? Or does it suggest some mysterious formula? Perhaps that's it, but here's the simplest solution. Take C-as in chemistry, B-as in biology, add G-as in general science and you have the basic formula C-B-G. When mixed in a test tube-large size, of course, over a Bunsen flame, the immediate reaction causes Chem-Bio-Gen -and that's the name of our club. Something new? I should say so-new ideas, new officers and an abundance of exciting, new plans. At our Kid Party, held February 20th, we forgot momentarily that we were sophisti- cated adolescents and became kindergarteners for an evening. After refreshments were served we cast aside our juvenile roles and enjoyed a bit of rug-cutting. In April we conducted an Arbor Day celebration at which we planted several small trees obtained from the State Nursery in Syracuse. C-B-G has been our Open Sesame to the world of science. Since science is playing such an all-important role in the present war, we future Pasteurs and Curies shall have our science courses to thank in later years. The Chem-Bio-Gen, by bringing together members of the four high school classes into one successful organization, has helped us socially, as well as educationally. 'k8'k

IGI 0N PARLE FRANCAIS September-classes resumed-again the French II and III students, accomplished speakers de la langue francaise , found themselves eager to reorganize the French Club. This year promised something extra, and each member knows now that the meetings more than met with his expectations. Everything was off to a grand start with the election of four capable officers. Under the direction of monsieur le president we enjoyed the progressiveness which accompanies well conducted meetings. Through the kindness of several club members we were able to hear recordings of famous compositions by Cesar Franck, Claude Debussy, Bizet and others. Short sketches of the lives of these renowned men were given by a few of the more illustrious pupils of French. Our pronunciation and intonation were exposed to improvement by Monsieur de Sauze's records of French speaking. Whether or not our speech profited is debatable, but it is certain that these sessions were enjoyable. As a diversion from the more intellectual trend, les jeus in which the entire group par- ticipated afforded much entertainment to our social functions. In return for the great sacrifices our fighting alumni are making for us, the French stu- dents resolved to work harder and make the most of each precious moment. Now, as the end of another year has come, we can proudly say that we have fulfilled the promises made to our- selves, and we can only hope that with a new and just peace France will return to her old self- to the glorious France of old.
