Math Club . Realizing how often math effects people's everyday lives is only a basic discovery made by members of the Math Club. Meetings spent discussing various problems and ideas and learning about important mathematicians throughout history has helped further to broaden the concepts of those who attend. The Club has also discussed the advantages the field of math has to offer as a career as well as steps that should be taken by those inter- ested. Faculty sponsor, MV. Altman and President Thomas McCloud tell howpro- motion of interest for math throughout the whole school is one of the major goals of its enthusiastic members. FRONT ROW: T. McCloud, L. Charonnat, D.

By reading articles, watching films, and taking trips to various air force bases, such as Hamilton and Travis, they have a chance to gain a better perspective of the field, its challenges and opportunities. Actual participation in orientation flights gives them additional knowledge as they receive practical experi- ence. 210
