BI-PHY CHEM CLUB As one strolls through the science wing on a Tuesday evening, many strange utterances come to his ears: BPLFT! Eek! A mouse! Pin, please keep those creatures in their cages! MNK! Ouch! Who stuck me, Nancy? Like man, I ' ve got the facts, says Aerial-man Ed. But we are working on our science projects. You say it appears not. Cer- tainly not. Hm-m! What goes there? K-bam! So that ' s what happens when you mix silver nitrate and sodium to- gether. Crash! In this stimulating atmosphere Mr. Joseph Ralston nurtures the future scientists of Westerville and asks to survive for just one more year. In spring a young man ' s mind turns to fancy. This is applicable to many facets of school life, but two come readily to mind — his unquenchable thirst for two things, science and girls. The club sponsors the local science fair under the direction of its advisor,. Mr. Ralston, and its officers: Bill Dean, President; Rick Miller, Vice-President Patti Meyer, Secretary; Barb Phelps, Reporter; Lois Bailey, Treasurer; and Dan Bunce, Librarian. Also, to satisfy the other love, a picnic at the end of the school year is held. So one sees that the Bi-Phy-Chem Club satisfies man ' s hunger for various things quite adequately.

Throughout the year they had many activities, some of which were; the chicken roast, the state and county fairs, where several demonstrations and musical groups were sent, The National Convention in Kansas City where six boys attended and an F.F.A. assembly which was held at school. This year, the Westerville group once again made a fine showing at the different contests held throughout the year. The first of these was the district parliamentary procedure contest where Westerville rated a silver trophy. In the local public speaking contest Dave Ballenger received first place, and in the district contest, Dave received another first place and Johnny Goldsmith won a silver trophy. Of course the one event which none of them will forget for a long time was the choosing of the F.F.A. Queen and her court. The Queen, Joan Goldsmith, reigned over the annual Parent-and-Son Banquet in December.

MARCHING BAND How many homes on Friday night have heard the familiar cries . . . Hey Mom, where ' s my belt? or perhaps, I can ' t find my gloves! or Have you seen my hat? Of course, there are many because there are 99 proud members of the Westerville High School Marching Band. Each week the band prepares a half-time show for the enjoyment of the spectators at the foot- ball games. This year the band was made up of six trombones, nineteen trumpets, eight french horns and baritones, five sousaphones, nine flutes, thirty three clarinets, eight saxophones, nine drums, six sparkling majorettes . . . and, oh yes! One Mr. Becker, cne and a half Mr. Dawsons, and a few demerits. Many memories are made during the course of a football season and this year was no ex- ception. The tune of Old Lady Bliss and the last second football plays will long be remem- bered. And, of course, the seniors will never forget THEIR bus. However, along with the fun, there were many after school practices which sometimes seemed like drudgery but were in reality necessary to make the Marching 99 the successful group that it was during the 1961 football season.
