Mr. Ward looks on and gives helpful advice to Bill Graham who is preparing one of the preliminary sets of apparatus needed in his science fair project. This was one of the prerequisites for membership in the Futurian Science club. Futurians Delve into The Science Mysteries To probe into the Wonders and mysteries of science and to impress on students the growing importance of science in the life and the affairs of the world today were the purposes of the Futurians club, an affiliate of the Science Clubs of America. Chosen from the eleventh and twelfth grades, the members had to maintain an average of 85 or higher in all their studies and had to be science majors. This year the club's sponsor was Mr. Ward, who joined the Union High faculty in the fall after having taught a year at the Woodruff High School. Following the selection of new members, Initiation day was held. In a humorous initiation, the girls wore no make-up, used rags to tie their hair, and wore unmatch- ing shoes, the boys wore make-up, earrings, and un- matched socks. All alike sought to get the signatures of ten senior members on a placard worn piggy-backf, The day was highlighted when the new members were made to sing while parading up and down Main Street in their outlandish dress with their signature posters on the backs.

With certificates of these awards, the stall this year started a display in a trophy case in the main hall of the Jeter building. Beginning in September, an addition to the Hi-Life this year was Roto , a student newspaper supplement that featured sports, news, beauty aids, and stories. There were 45 members on the stalf. The subscription price was 50 cents a semester, the total number of sub- scribers was 460. The paper itself was financed through both ads and subscriptions. Hi-Life was published once a month throughout the school year. In exchange with papers from other schools, it was sent to all parts of South Carolina and to a few out-of-state schools. Susan Hope is placing the award in the showcase that the H13-Life staff received from the Quill and Scroll. Standing by admiring it are Mrs. Gregory, Jean Hyder, Donna Armstrong, Betsy Anderson.

This gave every member a chance to debate in public as well as to express his opin- ion on the election. In April the two speech classes gave a one-act play, One Happy F amily,', in assembly. The play was given twice, with one class presenting it for the lower grades the other class presenting it for the upper grades. In order to be eligible for membership in the Speech club, one had to be, or to have been, a member of one of the speech classes, and while maintaining an average of 85 in speech and in English. The membership of the club was 50. The purpose of the organization was to teach its members correct emphasis, posture, poise, and voice control. Five helps for memorizing were stressed for all stu- dents of speech. They were as follows: Qlj Copy pass- age into notebook, Q25 Memorize thought, not lines, f3JNote how each thought follows the preceding one, MJ Get the feel of the rhythm, 15D Note and learn the words that rhyme.
