Biologists explore world of the living One club that is always busy is the Biol¬ ogy Club, this year being no exception. These amateur biologists acquire fascinat¬ ing information about plant and animal life. The club offers exploration into facts not normally given in an average class. The stu¬ dents also take part in lab work such as dis¬ secting fr ogs! All is not science though; this year the members held an auction, giving away some weird items, and also had a Christmas party. A combination of work and play, the Biology Club has always pro¬ vided fun for all participants. A group with very new ideas are the members of the Drama Club. With its new adviser, Mrs. Gilbertson, and new actors, this club has really become exciting. Previ¬ ously, the dramatists had presented only one play a year; this year, however, the students did some readings on television plus rehearsed for their spring performance of “Purlie Victorious.” Change is the big word in Weaver, and the Drama Club is certainly contributing to this atmosphere.

Any girl who wishes to learn dance techniques and choreography can join the Dance Club which meets every Wednesday. The Dance Club has per¬ formed in past Weaver Nights and this year is no different. The girls will present two dance numbers in this year’s show, “Wade in the Water,” and “Af¬ rican Dance.” World Affairs Club members represented Ethiopia, Israel, and the United States in the Model General Assembly held in March at the Aetna. To prepare for this assembly, the World Affairs Club toured various foreign consulates in New York. This club enables students to have a closer association with world affairs. Weaver students have a chance to publish their literary works in the Review. This creative outlet, composed by a faculty adviser and student com¬ mittee, contains a variety of avant garde poetry, essays, and compositions. The World Affairs Club includes (Row 1) Howard Kruger, Jeffrey Frank, Michael Goldstein, (Row 2) Jeanette Hay¬ wood, Marguerite Zamlauski, Marc Ginsberg, and Shirley Zamlauski. Dance Club composes routines for assembly
