( 180 ) President- Alec Jones Vice-President-Rasma Derums Secretary-Treasurer-Alice Mary Vogel All the members of the Science Club scurried about CHS this year with an anticipatory look on their be~ming countenances. They were bubbling over with the effervescence of enthusiasm as they looked forward with great expectations to the preparing and building of their various science projects for entrance in the annual Third District West Science Fair, which was held under the ponsorship of CHS at the Columbus Municipal Auditorium. This was an honor for the Imp Science De– partment, as well as the Science Club in that many schools vie for the privilege of assuming the task of providing spon orship for the Fair. Several members, who had worked very hard on their projects, were well rewarded when they received awards for their work. Among these was Mason Williams, science and math whiz, who won five prizes, among them the grand prize. The aims of this organization are to promote interest in the sciences among laymen and to develop further the knowledge of the club members in the several branches which con– stitute the field of science. Mr. Henry Drake, adviser for the group, commented that he was extremely pleased to find that the members were such diligent and capable · workers during his tenure as adviser.
