During the eleventh year of the club's existence, the club was efficiently piloted through the September term by Clarence Kammeier. Leadership was skillfully assumed by Gerald Middaugh during the February term. XYith the assistance of the other officers and the various committees these leaders directed the destinies of the club through a successful year. Much of the success of the club was due to the untiring efforts of the faculty advisors, who were always ready to give their aid in solving its difficulties and in giving helpful suggestions. Membership is open to all sophomore, junior, and senior students who have had IO-B mathematics. Although the meetings of the Math Club were of educational value, they were nevertheless exceedingly interesting because of the varied programs which were presented. Not only were there discussions on abstruse mathematical problems, but also entertaining mathematical wrinkles and curiosities. Miss t'iardner's discussion of Euclid and his lflements made the lklathematickers realize that a study of liuclid is not so dull as most students imagine it to be. The Ancient History of Mathematics as told by Miss Christman revealed some remarkable and humorous facts about the mathematics of the ancient ligyptians. XYith the aid of several demonstrations Mr. llilts gave a detailed explanation of syphons. Nr. La Rue vividly described some of his experiences as a member of the United States forces during the NYorld XYar in his talk entitled, Traveling 'at Uncle Sam's Expense. Mr. lieising's views on Mathematics That XYere, Are, and XYill lie gave the members a farther insight into mathematics. The relation between mathematics and the insurance business was accurately ex- plained by Miss XYilliams of the Lincoln National Life Insurance Company. She told of the important part mathematics plays in determining the value of insur- ance policies and gave illustrations to prove her statements. The Math Club has always been known for its social good-times. This year was no exception. The entertainment committee was ever certain to have some games, contests, or puzzles of a mathematical nature planned for the evening's fun. Fizz-lluzz was one that was quite frequently enjoyed. The Virginia Reel was even attempted at one of the meetings which was held in the gymnasium. Frederick Pfeiffer and Raymond Sebold furnished much amusement by trying to sit on the rounding surface of a crock and thread a needle. After much earnest effort Frederick won by elimination. The annual Math Club picnic was an affair which was eagerly looked forward to, for it was the big event of the year. The refreshments were by no means the least part of the goodftimes. Pop- corn balls, apples, doughnuts and cider, cream-puffs and cocoa, ice cream lolly- pops, and sandwiches and lemonade speedily disappeared before the ravenous attack of the Mathematickers. The refreshment committee was always in good favor, especially when there was a possibility of a second-helping. In mathematical terms the lllath Club is a circle in which is inscribed a square, the sides of which represent: knowledge, happiness, responsibility, and friendship. -LOCISE C. REITIZR, '.2.g.

------------+ The CALD-Rom ---A---'-'-'--ee - - 9:5 . lb l JUNIOR HI-Y i ! I l l The junior Hi-Y club is an organization composed of freshman and sopho- l j more boys. It is based on the same principles as the Senior Hi-Y and its meet- I ! ings are in general conducted in the same way. Meetings are held every XVednes- l l day evening at the Y. M. C. A. club rooms where supper is served at six o'clock. l l Interesting programs follow, including round-table discussions, talks by well- g known men, and initiato1'y exercises. l i A number of these talks were given by prominent men of the city, one of j j whom was David Hogg, lawyer, who spoke about Lincoln. His address was j veryfinteresting and especially appropriate since he gave his talk on the day after Q l.incoln's birthday. E Sam Jackson, local prosecuting attorney, was another speaker secured by nxt i the program committee. His subject dealt with the cases he had handled and M i he cited many humorous events that happened in connection with his practice. ' 'E i C. S. Ray spoke on XVhat I Consider the Most Important Xkford in the G i lfnglish Language. His subject so interested the members that the following gig, i week talks were made by representatives from the Central and South Side clubs i on the words they considered the most important. Y, l Several enjoyable parties were also held in addition to the regular meetings. i The hrst was a Halloween party at the Y. M. C. .X The good times which are l always enjoyed at the Halloween parties were not u1issing and the members and l g their girl friends certainly had a wonderful time. i The next affair was a Christmas party also held at the Y. M. C. AX. just j before the holidays. Talks, games, and refreshments combined to form an ex- I j cellent evening's entertainment. l A novel attair was the .-Xpril Fool party given at the YH on the tirst of ' g April. April Fool pranks and jokes were numerous throughout the party. l A great part of the success of the club is due to Mr. Brunson and Mr. l Hamilton, boys' secretaries at the Y. M. C. A. The program committee, headed l by james llallou, also deserves much credit for the excellent programs it arranged. l Although a large proportion of the club graduate to the Hi-Y, many new l l members are expected to join next year and keep up the spirit and ideals of the club. . : l ix iziorotsy I-.-ye.
