A BIG (+) IN YOUR FUTURE MA0 Mu Alpha Theta, an honorary math club, is composed ot juniors and seniors who have completed the Algebra II level of math and have a math average of, 87 or higher. Members started off the year by taking a field trip to a Radio Shack in Birmingham, where they were taught how to operate a mini- computer and allowed to print a program lor themselves. The purpose of this trip was to expose members to math related fields of work and to show them how to apply what they had learned in school for practical uses. Due to the busy schedules of all the students, it proved diffi- cult to find time to practice for and attend math competitions. Not to be outdone, sponsor Mrs. Ware involved the chapter in math competition conducted through the ' mail. These Math League tests were given at school by Mrs. Ware, and the results were mailed. A record was kept throughout the year as tests were taken approximately every six weeks. At the end of the year, scores were tallied and certificates given.

Each member devoted time and effort to produce the most effective halftime shows possible. During the summer months training began in marching fundamentals and music for the upcoming season. However, intense practice did not begin until the band made its annual trip to Camp Laney. For one week, the band prepared the halftime show for the first ballgame and contest. In this one week, there emerged a unique bond among the members which led to real teamwork. As band camp came to a close, everyone knew the band had the potential to be the greatest ever.
