Math a-la-mode is . . . Mu Alpha Theta Some school organizations distinguish honor and achievement. Some clubs are just fun for those with similar interests. Mu Alpha Theta seems to be both ... it is in essence “math a la mode.” It is indeed an honor to earn membership to Mu Alpha Theta. Juniors and Seniors are the primary candidates for this nation- ally affiliated organization. A student must maintain at least a 3.0 average in math- ematics courses. which must include ad- vanced math, trigonometry, or calculus. The Magnet chapter further requires its members to maintain high academic per formance levels in ali courses. Further- more, once a student has lost his member¬ ship in Mu Alpha Theta, he can never be reinstated. With prestige comes responsi- bility. But the Senior whose diploma bears the Mu Alpha Theta seal knows that it symbolizes hard work and discipline. He also realizes that the seal represents an honor in which he can take deserved pride. The purposes of Mu Alpha Theta are more numerous than recognition, howev- er, any time bright. mathematically-mind- ed students get together there s a sure for¬ mula for fun. Many members enjoy the intellectual stimulation of computer games and problems. Members also share relaxed discussions involving mathematical theor¬ ies and discoveries as well as some practi- cal applications of math in Science, indus- try, research, medicine, space, and engi- neering. Guest speakers frequently ad- dress the club or present demonstrations. There s usually a calculated surprise or two at the annual spring banquet. And sometimes My Alpha Theta members test their computations and ciphers against an opposing organization in a game of football or during the Homecoming races. The “sum” total of the mathematical equation, agree Mu Alpha Theta members, equals a positive experience. 44 • Academics
