SCIENCE CLUB ACTIVITIES are numerous, but they all have one thing in common . . . they all con- cern the goal of the club which is to better the understanding of science among the club members and the S. H. S. student body. Speakers and films are a focal point of many club meetings. All of the club members participate in the Lakeland Community Science Fair and receive many of the top awards. A visit to the Regional Science Fair is another activity of the club. Under the capable direction of Mr. Neff, Sponsor, the Science Club has truly achieved its goal this year. EXPERIMENTS are a large part of scientific understanding. Compliments of DR. ROBERT CRAIG

Wong, T. Robie, D. Bushong, T. Miller, Mrs. Preston, Sponsor. ROW 3--N. Geible, R. Kern, J. Ludwig, K. Welty, B. Plymale, J. Baumgartner. NEWS STAFF REPORTERS gave accurate and de- tailed reports of nearly every event that took place at S.H.S. this year. Unable to publish a school newspaper because of lack of space, money, and time, news staff members wrote their articles for the local newspaper, The Mail-Journal. Mrs. Preston, sponsor, and Julie Con- nolly, editor, assigned and proofread a variety of articles including reports on sports events, individ- ual and group scholastic achievements, and activities of classes and clubs. Weekly features were a 'Senior of the Week' column and 'Hearda Whopper Says', a column which covered weekly events in general and was written by an ever inquisitive Sandra Yeager. The news staff photog- rapher, Tim Yeager, a winner of the American Newspaper Publishers Association's Most Valuable Staffer Award', recorded many events on film and often supplied pictures to accompany articles written by student reporters. 25

Smith. future teachers of america activities THE LILLIAN HAMMAN CHAPTER of the Future Teachers of America added more members to its roster and more activities than ever to its busy schedule this year. Meetings were held at school and at the homes of the members, and guest speakers were featured through- out the year. The F. T. A. also gained popularity among the teachers this year. The club's Christmas project of presenting homemade cookies and decorations to the S. H. S. teachers was greatly appreciated. Another of the group's projects, a Teacher Appreciation Tea, was popular. Exploratory teaching in the elemen- tary for senior members ended a rewarding year of F. T. A. activities. Compliments of BON LEN SNACK SHOPPE
