PIS The Parent-Teacher-Student As- sociation is an organization which attempts to interpret the college to the community and to promote the interests of youth in college. The program theme for 1941 was Pre- paring Youth for Civic Responsi- bility through Home and School. Through its program the P.T.S. has tried to accomplish three things: to foster good will, to pro- mote the interests of the students through a parent education group, and to secure a new building on our campus for Wilson students. The parent education group was organized to give parents of pros- pective students a preview of col- lege life. By informing more peo- ple about Wilson, the P.T.S. hopes to arouse interest in securing a new building. Finally, in accom- plishing these two aims, good will is naturally promoted. The P.T.S. was capably led by by its officers: Mrs. Mollis Munce, president; Mrs. Claude Coombs, first vice-president and program chairman; Miss Claire O ' Reilly, second vice-president; Mrs. Har- vey Miller, recording secretary; Mrs. George Gordon, correspond- ing secretary; and Mrs. Arthur Rausher, treasurer. FIRST ROW: Miss Beulah Berolzheimer; Mrs. Hollis H. Munce, president; Mrs. Fred Loftus; Mrs. Claude Coombes, first vice-president; Mrs. B. H. Fish, publicity; Mrs. A. Rausher, treasurer; Claire M. O ' Reilly, second vice-president; Mrs. Geo. F. Gordon, corresponding secretary. FIRST ROW: Warren Klopsch, Elliott Schubert, John M.

PUif lical SoieH ie The purpose of the Physical Sci- ence Club is to create a deeper interest in science among all the students at Wilson. The practical application of science in industry is studied, as well as the pure theory of science. Throughout the term various field trips are taken which show very concretely how science is put to use in practical situations, in order to give man more conveniences and make his life easier. This year the members of the club visited the Common- wealth Edison electrical plant at Pulaski and Thirty-fifth streets; the Federal Electric plant; the Standard Oil Company, and the Kellogg Switchboard Company. Officers of the Physical Science Club were Howard Tanner, presi- dent; Paden Dismore, vice-presi- dent; Walter Erikson, treasurer; and Paul Singer, secretary. Dr. Thomas Ernest is the sponsor. 1

This year the Wilson Orchestra has grown into an organization of full symphonic proportions. From a very modest beginning, it has developed, under the direction of Mr. Henry Sopkin, into a musical group of which Wilson may well be proud. The orchestra provides valuable experience for the professionally- minded musicians, provides a mu- sical background for those mem- bers who have no such ambition, and offers cultural entertainment to the student body. The ninety members of the or- chestra participate in college as- semblies, such as Wilson ' s annual Spring Festival. Mr. Sopkin does not confine his selection of music to the well-known works of stand- ard composers, but is always in search of new compositions. Works by contemporary compos- ers, such as Stravinsky, Howard Hanson, Menotti Salta, Roy Harris, and many others, find a prominent place in the repertoire of the or- chestra, along with works of such composers as Tschaikowsky, Strauss, and Grieg. The orchestra has proven itself to be a versatile group of musicians.

P i -Med Have YOU ever wondered what the levator capxdo.e. centalis is? Did you ever tour the morgue? Such are the problems included among the various activities of the Pre-Medical Club, sponsored by Mr. H. C. Nelson and Mr. Samuel Howe. All students interested in a med- ical career are eligible to join this club. As a method of determining their potentialities in the field of medicine, the members were given a Medical Aptitude test this last semester. Tours, discussions, and social activities filled the program of the club. A tour was made to see the medical exhibits at the Rosenwald Museum, and a picnic was held late in May. The officers during the fall se- mester were Warren Klopsch, pres- ident; Michael Ihnchak, vice-presi- dent; Margaret Oates, secretary; Walter Erikson, treasurer; and Robert Hughes, Club Board dele- gate. During the spring semester the president and secretary re- mained the same. Irving Miller became vice-president; Harmon Fortar, treasurer; and Betty Cohen, Club Board representative.

SUj HXi lieia Pi Sigma Beta Pi, an honorary sci- ence organization, is one of the few Wilson clubs which restricts its membership. On the basis of scholastic ability, members are se- lected from students enrolled in the science laboratory courses. One must have at least a B average to be chosen to participate in the activities of the club. Dr. Jesse Schuett and Dr. James Parsons, heads of the Biological and Physical Science Departments respectively, are co-sponsors of the club. The officers are Howard Tanner, president; Michael Ihn- chak, vice-president; Jean Hart- wick, secretary; and Russell Ol- son, treasurer. Charles Churchill is Club Board delegate. The organization aims to pro- mote interest in advanced scien- tific work. As a means of accom- plishing their purpose, members of the club give short talks on spe- cialized subjects at the meetings. Movies of industry and science are also shown as often as possible. In this way other students are also encouraged to work in the field of science.
