The nine founding members
originally invested a total of
$50. There are now $50 shares
in the investment club issued
to the same students, at an
average of $40 per student.
Stocks bought so far are 10
shares of Dart Drug for $50,
and $50 shares of Giant Food
Properties for $137. The balance
of $170 as yet is not invested.
Careful research precedes all
purchases" Larry explained. He
spends many hours pouring over
Barron's and the Wall Street
Journal.
Members have as many votes
as they own shares of stock.

A "trio" of selected members
have power to make emergency
decisions if the course of action
is agreed on unanimously by
the three. A Silver Spring brok-
erage firm sponsors the club
because all m e mbers are
minors.
In looking for good invest
ments, Larry said, the club stud
les the type of business, the
earnings per share, returns, and
most important, the price-earn-
ings ratio.
BY graduation time in 1864,
the club hopes to have assets of
$1,000 to $1,000.

Blair Sfuff
In The News
By Susan Jacobs

Nine Blair mathematics teach.
ers have been attending special
seminars to help keep up with
vast changes in their field. Miss
Susan Aud, head of the depart
ment says, "The purpose of our
twice-monthly seminars is to
study new materials which the
department will present to stu
dents in the future"
Specifically under study is
the University of Maryland
Math Project which has de-
veloped new ways of teaching
mathematics in the seventh and
eighth grades. The new method
stresses an understanding of
basic principals rather than
learning by rote. BY next year
analytic geometry, statistics and
calculus will be offered to the
advanced mathematics students.
Mrs. Faye Sherry, head of the
Art Department, gives this ac-
count of how she came to paint
a picture recently chosen for
exhibit by Smithsonian Insti-
tute:
1T was a bitter cold Sunday
last December, and we were out
for our last sail of the year. We
sat by the mast sketching every
thing in sight, including the
bundled up guests in the cock
pit"
Last summer her sketch be-
came a painting on canvas. She
has previously exhibited at the
Corcoran Art Gallery and at st.
Johns College in Annapolis.
Everybody was a winner in
the recent exchange between
area scientists and two Blair
science teachers. William Saun-
ders and Stanley Kulakow-
ski were at Johns Hopkins Ply
sizes Lab attending an institute
on radioactivity. In their alb
sence, DR.. Leon Horn, physi-
cist from the Diamond Ord
nance Fuse Laboratory, taught
Mr.. Saunders classes. DR.. Lyle
C. Dearden, National Science
Foundation and George Wash
ington University Medical
School, took over for Mr.. Kula-
kowski.
DR.. Dearden told the classes,
among other things, some of
the principles of embalming.

His belief in the beauty and
matchless pleasure that can be
drawn from the well-spring of
classical authors is borne out in
the fact that he has a private
library of several hundred vol
umes that range from Sueonius
to st. Augustine.
Mr.. Hite received two scholar
ships last year to study during
the summer at the American
Academy in Rome, Italy. The
scholarships were awarded by
the Classical Association of the
Atlantic States and by the Clas-
steal Society of the American
Academy in Rome.
After an extensive seven
weeks course Mr.. Hite went for
an additional two weeks study
at Cumae near Naples. The
whole area is filled with re-
mains of ancient civilization and
is probably one of the most
beautiful spots in the world.
After a final week spent tour

drama coach, would answer, "In
all phases of human activity
there is a great need for more

is a cornerstone of our demo

the high school to begin the

who can express themselves
