N February the students of the Analytics class of Roosevelt organized, under the direction of Miss Alma Adams, the Alpha Gatta Club. Its object is to increase interest in some phases of mathematics that are nottfincluded in the regular curriculum. The newest club in the school has no social objectives, but has some worthy accomplishment as its goal for each term. This term a group of talks was given at thc meetings by the different members. VVorks of calculus, the slide rule, and mathematics in every day life are some examples of subjects considered.
