ff .- QW 4 ' . fir! +J',, ., ' ., ,,,.,.,, ...X YEATM AN GYM C LU B FRED JANSSEN The Yeatman Gym Club is an organiza- tion composed of Yeatman boys whose ob- ject is to build strong bodies and good char- acters, to train the boys to be able to help in the gym classes, and to give opportun- ity for advanced work. These objects may be realized through persistent effort and companionship with the instructor and fel- low members. New members were taken this term if they had had previous experience in gym- nastic work in addition to the qualifica- tions mentioned. In the first week of February an election was held and the following officers were elected: President ............,.,. Oscar Schlebe Vice President ............ John Kraeger Secretary and Treasurer ......,............OrvilleHamelman Custodian ......,.,..... Donald Dowling Life Correspondent, ...., Fred Janssen During the term the following exhibi- tions were given: CHRISTMAS EXHIBITION: Parallel Bars by Picked Team. Wrestling by Reitz and Holland. Fencing by Bruns and Remaklus. Boxing by Norton and Scheitland. Weight-lifting by Owens and Egleston. Tumbling by Edwards and Bruns. FinalefPyramid by all. EXHIBITION FoR PATRoN's ASSOCIATION in behalf of the school tax: Exercises and vaulting over horse. Exercises on horizontal bar. Tableau. The exhibitions were enjoyed by all. The beautiful tableau was especially praised. Dr. Wolfner of the school board, and other well known speakers were present. In our instructor, Hans G. Lehrman, we have a man whose spirit of success has so fired the members of the club that his name will not be forgotten in Yeatman history. He is a bundle of nerves and pep. As Mr. Rathman, the Assistant Superintendent of Schools once said, People like Mr. Lehr- man and myself walk off below what we put on, on top. I take the opportnuty here to thank Dr. Gaueb in behalf of the club for his time, service, and helpful suggestions when we most needed them. Boys, come into the Gym Club! We feel that we are rendering you a human service by inducing you to join our club. The cost is extremely low, 351.60 per term cf twenty weeks. Five cents a week. Where else, if you please, can you receive such a big re- turn on your money? Join today! The law of compensation is ever active and you may influence some other boy in return for your benefit and achievements derived from our club. Page Eigbly-Suren

.. . , -..1afE5,f-ziifffff:fffffiij S C I E N C E C LU B CHARLES CONDON-HARRY FULLER Hello, folks! The Science Club greets you again. You needn't look for our pic- tures this time, for We were politely told by readers that when we appeared before we ooked like theological graduates. We are willing to admit that We look like graduates but before we appear again, we intend to wait until our study of science makes us look more scientific and less pious. Our club is not large, not because we are selfish, for we really would like to share our benefits and pleasures and fun with others, but we can't lasso people and make them sign the roll if they don't care for what we enjoy. We take this opportunity to announce that our policy has changed and that we are now convinced that girls are as scien- tific as boys and we would be glad to have their help in our researches. Come on, girls get in on the fun! We study he various sciences, photo- gaphy, Zoology, bacteriololgy, first aid and botany. On Saturdays, if the weather per- mits, we take a hike. To let you know what fun we have on these hikes, here is an account of a hike to Meremac Highlands: We started about half past seven and af- tera period of misery on the Manchester car, we arrived. We were quite adven- turous and descended a quarry wall with results disastrous to our clothes. One of the members heard a whistle and thought he had discovered a new kind of bird, but Miss McGinnis said it was a train whistle! Then we discovered a cave and started in, but broken bottles and snake holes halted us. However, since we have be- come somewhat more familiar with the out- doors and snakes, we feel more friendly toward them. We crossed a brookg several of the members falling in, and began ex- plorations. After collecting specimens of leaves and watching birds, we ate lunch. It was pretty good except for a few ashes which had adhered to the food. Now then, everyone come out and join and get in on this fun. 3 Page Eighly-Six

The club holds its meetings in the physics laboratory on Tuesday af- ternoons at 3:15. Our work consists of adiscussion of reg- ular business, followed by a report from the program committee. Then for the re- maining part of the time we have code practice. The report from the program committee is usually a lecture on some piece of ap- paratus which is used in radio telegraphy or telephony. The lecture on this instru- ment is generally divided into two parts: first, the construction, and second, its use and how it works. In order to obtain a license from the government to operate a sending set, one must be able to receive at least ten words a minute. This is an objective for which most amateurs strive. This speed can be attained only by steady practice and for this reason we include code practice in our activities. One of our members, Mr. Charles Schwarz, has already qualified for a government license by passing the exam- ination given by the radio inspector and he has received the official call signal 9 BUI. Several other members have nearly quali- fied and will take the government examin- ination soon. This includes tests of the applicants' knowledge of radio theory and practice. A set is being constructed by the club members which will enable us to hear con- certs, market reports, time signals, and other messages. The set is a regenerative type receiver with a detector and two stage Page Eighty-Eighl amplifier. A magnavox loud speaker has been purchased. When coupled to the set, it will make the signals audible throughout the Auditorium. As yet the club has not appeared in pub- lic, but we hope to give demonstrations in the near future. Part of our work for this term has been the instruction of several beginners as to the construction of simple sets, the part each instrument plays in the set, and where the materials can be obtained. Although the club has been in existence only two terms, we feel that we have accom- plished a great deal and expect to do even more next term. It is fitting that my last paragraph should be devoted to appreciation. Our officers deserve the highest praise for their interest and competency. To Mr. Mitch- ell We wish to express our gratitude for his co-operation and assistance. OFFICERS. President Charles J.
