SMITH lt may give one a thrill to be watching something and not know whether one will be blown into eternity the next minute, or be spending a few months on a hospital cot wondering what happenedg but there's a keener pleasure to be proving to that doubtful mind of yours the things you've been skep- tical of and the wonderful mysteries of the elements. Under the expert and careful supervision of hir. Smith, our Science Club meets every Monday night and holds an interesting, beneficial hour of entertainment. The benefit gained thereof is worth the effort to ob- tain the marks necessary for admission to the club. All students must have an average of Sofff, or above in at least two sciences and this must be main- tained throughout the year. During the past term some of the experiments conducted were efforts to make nitric acid by uniting nitrogen and hydrogen, solve the principle of various glass prisms and light, giving the dirigible-like qualities to a balloon by filling it with hydrogen obtained from zinc and sulphuric acid and even lead, the excitement of demonstrating explosives on a small scale. Helpful lectures were given and great aid was given to students in the science classes. The members are Wlheeler, lXflcVVayne, W'ood, Rawson, Mace, Johnson, Tinkham, Bowman, Steinhoff, Sonsire.
