It is one of the most useful and interesting areas of study. , The mathematics department wast wasted no time this year . ln Septem- ber, the teachers recommended stu- dents in their classes who were eli- gible to become members of the mathematics club, and the first meeting was called to elect officers for the ensuing year. The president of the club is james Herron with Cur- tis Speller as vice -president. The members did projects and presented them to the group. Many interesting projects were exhibited. They also participated in the annual contest conducted by the Mathemat- ics Association of America to deter- mine the highest ranking mathemat- ics student in all the high schools throughout the nation.
