IETS Unravel Mysteries Of Science Every Saturday morning until the first science fair in March, the members of JETS Club can be found diligently Working in the chemistry laboratory. The asphyxiating of fish to test the effectiveness of filter cigarettes, the radiating of chick embryos to test radia- tion, and the building of elec- tronic computers are all a part of the work of a busy morning. 4'All Work and no play is by no means the motto of the JETS Club. Guest speakers are invited to talk to the club on future occupations in the science fields: field trips are planned to nearby industries, and to end the year, a spring banquet is held. The JETS Club, originally an engineering organization, has now branched out to in- clude all fields of science and gives students the opportun- ity to explore into the un- known, A - 1 1 ROW 1: Burchett.

l HN l -:X New Clubs Build School Spirit, World Interest New at Wadsworth High School this year, the Pep Club is a popular and needed addition. The football season would not have been nearly so successful if it had not been for the school spirit generated by the club's enthusiastic members. Selling pins and shakers helped the members not only to earn money, but also to show their interest in the growing club. Crowded buses head- ing for out-of-town football games and red and white shakers waving in the air remind us of the presence of our recently-formed club. French club provided a great deal of entertainment as well as good ed- ucation outside of class. Now in its second year, the club has become a success among nearly all second year French students. During the Christ- mas holidays the club went caroling, and in spring, visited a Cleveland museum. A cafe sprouted up on the school court when first year students treat- ed the club members to French delicacies. The club will be theirs next year, and with it will go the rich experience of appreciating the country of France. l 22 Susan Meager, Jan Trent, Mr. Shields CAdvisorD, Mr. Irish CAdvisorD, Judy Wilder CPresidentD.

Much of the female population at Wadsworth Senior High be- longs to the well-known Y-Teen group. The club, consisting of sophomore, junior, and senior girls, strives to en-courage and help these teens to develop into fine young women. Activities that were scheduled and enjoyed during the year in- cluded a card party, a swimming party at the Y in Akron, and a hospital project. One Monday-night meeting was highlighted by a series of color- slides shown by Miss Edgar, the director of the Medina County YWCA. The slides were taken while she was on a trip through the Middle East, learning about the work of the YWCA in that area. Busy making crossword puzzles for children in the hospital are Y-Teen girls Kay Morrison, Ann Lieberth, and Merrilee D'Zurik. 24
