Ro-w 3: R. Goll, R. Klee, G. Galowka, G Lenhardt. Here's a class doing something different. lN'Iy, it's dark in here. Whatever are those flickery pictures on the screen? I begin to read: HIQpic Classroom Films. How in the world can anyone learn anything and he entertained at the same time? Those boys running that machine must be clever. These movies seem to make the biology lesson very clear. Well, I do declare- that fellow is pointing out just how the heart works. Very realistic, I'd say. This flickering annoys one. My poor eyes! l'll just wander into another room. This I do, choosing one on the second floor marked 213. VVhatever are these odd little things ?l' I ask a student near me. Biology E. Brooder, VV. Kennedy, VV. Knack, R. Kunert. Geometry M. Dillon, D. Brown, J. Gratteau.

I trudge up the stairs worn with years of feet hustling to and from classes. I allow my thoughts to rummage in the closet of my memories. Oh science! I-Iow enthralled I once Was in the role of a junior scientist. How Well I recall those experiments on magnetism. In chemistry I used to write Willy West on paper with sulphuric acid and holding it over a Hame Watch it appear in black letters. What a boy I Wasl I am fascinated to find that the students are dissecting that fine little animal, the frog, in biology. I'm glad the physics and chemistry laboratories are in the same places. The equipment is the same too, except for all that rigmarole called electrical equipment. One thing has me Worried. The boys and girls seem to be having heated discussions on something called the atomic bomb. Whatever is this thing that it should cause so much concern? Mathematics I shall never forget either. How much I loved to dabble with numbers, algebraic and geometric figures. Math classes must be rather spoiled now having so many girls in them. Well, I guess this is no longer a man's World. 21

'lThose are solid geometry models, and very good ones at thatf, was the reply. 'AlVIodelsl Bly, my. They play with toys now in high school? Kindergarten stuff. Pash! VVhy VVhen I- Oh no! These models are an excellent way of learning geometry. l'Hmphl I learned geometry by memor- izing it. They're making it easier every year. Bah! Very disgusted I decide to return again to the science department. Well now isn't this nice! Young people learning in a club! Science Club, I am told it,s called. What a happy serious group of young ladies and gentlemen discussing these fascinating and stimulating scientific mat- ters. This is indeed a great pleasure. Science Club Front Rofw: R. Fischer, J.
