GEORGE, UTAH not to mention other great industries which would be impossible without the sciences of Physics and Chemistry, to realize their importance to society and their relation to the progress of Democracy. As the High School students will, in the course of a few years, make up practically the whole of society, we realize how essential it is that they get acquainted with these sciences. The modern aim of society is not to escape this world, but to understand it, not to despise it, but control it; and in order to do this one must be acquainted with the facts dealt with in Physical sciences by getting the theory and then supplementing it with the laboratory work such, for instance, as the nature of sound and light, the characteristics of and tests for different ones, the reaction of compounds with each other, such, for instance, as counteracting an acid bum with a base ; electrical appliances as the dynamo, and me ters which run the saws, electric cars, and which make the electric lighting system possible. It is only in the last century that these sciences have played any part in the progress of the world, but in this country they have progressed by leaps and bounds as shown by the telephones, tubes, and wireless telegraphy. railroads, Today there are unlimited possibilities for the student of science, in organic chemistry, electricity, and countless other fields. The whole purpose of society is to satisfy mans needs, and by science we get the means of securing this end. It should, therefore, be the purpose of every student who wishes to gain this end by contributing something to the betterment and progress of society, and by so doing, better his own condition, to get acquainted with the interesting as well as useful facts dealt with in the studies of Physics and Chemistry.

And theh the party, it came on, Thats just where some kids shine; We wanted to keep it up till dawn, We had such a dandy time. The hours weve spent were not in vain, For lectures weve never lacked. The members came, sunshine or rain, In interest theyve never slacked. Then give three cheers for the H. E. That club we love so well. Loyal members well ever be, Its praise well ever tell. C., Florence W. o-- You sure cant beat the H. E. C., You cant say that theyre slow; A better club there couldnt be, For theyre always on the go. Why Linna, shes got lots of grit ; Anna is not far behind. That Savage artist makes a hit Every time she draws a line. o With the close of school comes the discontinuance of our club meetings, as we do not hold them during the summer months. With the end of our work comes satisfaction and enjoyment. Satisfaction that we have accomplished all that we have aimed to do and that our club has been a credit to the Dixie. Enjoyment as we look back over our winters work and remember the good times we have had together; our parties, our dance, and all our associations, rank together as the best times of the school year. Much credit is due to Linna, who has steadied the boat and to the others who have helped her to guide it. May the organization be as successful next year as it has been this year. |
