Science Club Reorganizes For the first time since 1960, Virginia High has a Science Club. The club encourages students to do their best in the fields of science, and em- phasizes the many fields one can enter as a science student. To be a member of this orga- nization, a student must have an A average in General Science, a B average in Biology, and at least a C average in Chemistry and Physics. Since the club has just been reorganized, its t wo main projects are setting up the Science Fair and presenting the Science Award to an out- standing science student. KNEELING: Tyler Franklin, President; Jack Cartwright, Coor- dinator. STANDING: Anita Criswell, Secretary; Mr. Diamond, Sponsor; Benny Grigsby, Vice-president; Mr. Cummins, Sponsor; Diane Chandler, Treasurer.
