Sketch Club At the present time the Sketch Club is the newest club on the campus, but it looks as if it is going to be one of the most interesting. Mrs. “Bea” Crowther, who is the art instructor and an excellent adviser, is always right there ready to help us. This club is not limited to art students only, but consists of those interested in any kind of sketching. So, those who have had a secret yearning to try their hand at some drawing are gladly welcomed. We began with figure sketching inside, and when the weather is warmer, we expect to roam the campus and go on short hikes to sketch the scenery. The club wishes to ac- complish pencil and charcoal sketching and later go into colors. Our aim is to have a good time in fellowship while learning and enjoying the art of sketching.

Science Glub As the curtain rises we see Mr. James Coppola, our beloved president, demonstrating how esters are produced from alcohols. In the last scene, if you remember, we convinced you that electricity was extremely important in our everyday lives and informed you of the recent discovery of electricity. We thank the Westinghouse Electric Company for their interesting film. Our secretary-treasurer, Miss Lois Fry, has just entered with a copy of our Purpose and Aims. “Our purpose is to create and foster an interest in the field of pure and applied science. Our seven objectives are: J I. To correlate the Bible and science so that we as Christians may use the knowledge gained for the glory of God. Il. To keep up with the latest developments in all applied sciences. Ill. To show films on all the applied sciences. IV. To take field trips to various industries. V. To have men from various fields lecture to us. VI. To improve our laboratories and our Science Department. VII. To discuss vocational problems.” Our assistant to the president, Dick Bookstaver, has just reported that our attendance has climbed to an all time high of thirty-five people.

Sophomore Gourt “Order in the court, Order in the court”, once more rang out, and the famed Sophomore court was in session. The members of the court looked very serious as they thought of the dangerous criminals who would be brought before them. Presiding on the Bench as Supreme Judge was Dr. Park, attired in the usual purple and white robe, which typified the dignity of the office. We were honored to have two famous Attorneys appear before the packed courtroom. They were none other than Mr. Pete Smick, Prosecuting Attorney, and Mr. Al Bishop, Attorney for the Defense. Other members of this most noble Court included Dave Keener, Court Secretary; Terry Martin and Jim Coppola, keepers of the books; Marian Buechle, Child Psychologist; and Vince Gustafson, Court Clerk. We have the honor of announcing the fact that this has been the first Sophomore Court proceeding that has ever been transcribed in the history of The King’s College. When you get old and grey and you think your kids are bad, call up Alex Morrison and he will replay for you the transcription of the horrible crimes committed and punishments imposed upon the freshmen of the class of 1951. “Hail thou, nifty class of Fifty!”
