SCIENCE CLUB I Continued from Page 271 mary aim the encouragement and fostering of a knowledge and appreciation of scientific principles and modern develop- ments in the field of natural sciences. The activities of the club include programs relevant to the interests of the individual members and brief summaries of current events in science. The Science Club of this school is aliiliated with the Science Clubs of America, a na- tional organization of high school boys and girls interested in the field of science. Through membership in such an organiza- tion, individual clubs are able to exchange ideas and information of specific interest to them. Science Service, which sponsors the Science Clubs, also admin- isters the annual Science Talent Search devised to discover out- standing scientific ability among high school students. William Hall, from West Point, entered the competition this year. In May, several members of the Science Club attended the meeting of the Virginia Junior Academy of Science, held in Richmond, Virginia, where they had an opportunity to meet fel- low club members and saw a very excellent movie on Atomic Energy and its implications. William Hall, the present president of the Science Club, has been interested in the or- ganization from its beginning two years ago. Bynum West- moreland is vice-president and Drue Garrett, secretary. l 01I'l'llAlili 'l'l'l.KM. i916 Front FUXVZ ll. F4-ilql, .I. l'umpln'vy, J. Smith, li. lla-nslmw. S.

-..YW -- .V I HIGH SCHOOL WINS STATE CHAMPS TAKES FIRST IN CLASS C TRACK The absence of track for two years at West Point seemed to be no hindrance as far as track activities were concerned. Be- cause of the lack of interest on the part of other Group III schools, meets were impossible to schedule. The Pointers were forced to enter the State Cham- pionship Meet practically un- tested. In spite of these condi-I tions, West Point came back from Charlottesville with the Group III title. At the Highland Springs In- vitational Meet, West Point came in a strong third, just 2116 points behind Glen Allen. Ken- neth Turner showed very good form in the 440 for West Point's only first place. Wilson, Riddle, Schultz, and Petke turned in good performances against the larger schools. It was at Charlottesville, how- ever, that the Pointers showed their strength. They scored 42 1-3 points to their nearest op- ponent's 201-3. Double wins were scored by Schultz in the 100 and 220, and by Wilson in the shot put and discus. All except two members of the team scored at Charlottesville. Those who scored points in track were: Riddle, Turner, Schultz, Petke, Wilson, Dicker- son, Downey, Berry, Johnson, and Hasty. ONSHIP You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give. Backward, turn backward, O Time, in your flight, And tell me just one thing I studied last night. Lots of people spend time making money and then spend money killing time.-CStar Yel- landl. You are educated if you can do what you ought, whether you want to do it or not.-Herbert Spencer.

Basketball Thirteen Games Won, Seven Are Lost The West Point High School basketball team opened its sea- son on January 6, 1949, against Toano High School and closed the season against the American Legion team, of West Point, on March 8. The team played a total of twenty games, winning thirteen of them. The West Point team scored a total of 608 points to their opponents' 506 points.

These cheer leaders are elected by the Stu- dent Association. When, after 17 years, I re- visited my old grammar school, I found one of my teachers still there, patiently coaxing awk- ward little fists to make grace- ful ovals in their Palmer Method books. I said, It seems to me it would be deadly, teaching the same old things, over and over, year after year. Her brows went up in mild surprise at a new idea, but she nodded in sudden agreement. Yes, I suppose it would. Then a proud little smile crossed her face as she said, But I'm teach- ing children! Socrates: If all our misfor- tunes were laid on one common heap, whence everyone must take an equal portion, most peo- ple would be content to take their own and depart. Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be. After the day is over And the passers-by are rare 'The lights burn low in the bar- ber-shop And the shades are drawn with care 'To hide the haughty barbers Cutting each other's hair. tThe Tales the Barbers Telll JUNIOR VARSITY-1949 Front row: Hodges, Briggs, Trimmer, BASKETBALL TEAM'-1916 Wajciechowski Guthrie Wroblick.
