Fr ' U According to Vice-principal Vida Day, female enrollment in math classes hasn't been a problem in high schools, but in colleges with spe- cialized education, there are fewer female math students. Earl Hayes, math teacher, said, lt has never been a problem here. I think the main reason is that the girls have had encouragement from home. The scholastic math club, Mu Alpha Theta, had a femalezmale ratio of 31:12. Membership in Mu Alpha Theta required five semesters of Algebra I, Geometry and Algebra ll with a B + grade average. Mu Alpha Theta projects included a math teacher appreciation day and a Homecoming float. The math teacher appreciation day was highlighted by a presentation given in honor of all math teachers especially those at Parkview who were invited to attend. Ferman Gardner, a former teacher of many club members at Horace Mann, was a special guest. The Mu Alpha Theta Homecoming float with the theme Truck over the Tigers won third place. Racers.

Pots march to the musi Parkview's marching-concert band started its year during summer practice. The members arrived at school at 7 a.m. They practiced basic techniques of marching and playing. Upper classmen helped the lower classmen polish their routines. Robert Holt said, Since I'm an upper classman, I had to show leadership to the lower classmen to set an example for them. The director of band, Sterling Ingram, said, The time that was spent on the marching band was very well worth it. It was educational and entertaining for the students, as well as the student body. After marching season was over, the band divided, and the concert band of about 60 people was formed. They competed in regional and state- wide competitions, playing different marches and contemporary music. My favorite piece of classical music to play was Blasenfest. It was fun and just sounded good. We played it in our Region Concert Contest and received 'first place', Randy Womack said. The stage band played for school assemblies, for Thanksgiving, Belle and Beau and Christmas. The stage band participated in contests, too, including one major contest at Henderson State Univer- sity, which they had won six times. They were judged on performance in front of an audience and how well they played. All contests were rated on a scale of one to five, one being the best. Leader of the band.
