Paul Brainard ' ' Sponsor, Miss Edith Steininger The Coffeyville Junior College Mathematics Club was organized Novem- ber 2, 1927, with the purpose in mind of promoting interest in mathematics through study of the history and practical advantages of mathematics, and through the recreation which one may derive from a knowledge of mathe- matics. The first official meeting of the 1931 school year was held the evening of October 2, 1930. At that meeting officers were elected, and it was decided that meetings should be held one Wednesday night, and two Wednesday noons each month. Among the many interesting topics which were taken up by the organization during the past year, the members probably gained most from a vcry thorough study of the slide rule and its uses. 1931 SAGA - PAGE 39

....., Q, S A G A ,ez ,,,,,, The Saga Staff Through no common vicissitudes, financial and otherwise, the staff of the 1931 Saga has presented you this book. Beset by the ordinary difficulties of all publication staffs in general, it ran into a midwinter depression that for a time threatened to squelch it altogether. But fortunate circumstances have enabled the Saga to pull through to publication undaunted. A start was made early in the first semester. The business of picture-taking absorbed a long period. In place of the usual King and Queen contest toward the close of school, the staff this year started its sale early in the game and has allowed it to run practically through the school year. Those who put this annual before you are: John Drake, editor. Gretchen Williams and Paul Brainard, assistant editors. Jane Dale and Corinne Dick, photograph editors. Polly Perkins, Lorena Daeschner, and Curtis Ball, art work. Harry Jordan and Bill Sims, business managers. Write-up editors, Alma Wilson and Gene Lash. Faculty Sponsor, C. A. Diggs. cgbree 3VIen A Paradox There was an animal-trainer With a circus: he was Stern, unbending, a hard-boiled fel- low: One who used his whip and club And pistol on the elephants, To train them: some he trained Very Well. But others went mad under his rule, And had to be killed. The circus Therefore, hired another animal- trainer- A man sometimes stern. sometimes Otherwise, depending on the elephant 1-le was training. This man trained them all well. 1-le was a wise animal-trainer. And there was another man, of old, Who wisely built himself a secret safe. In the wall. He kept therein All his papers or parchments, safe away, Though many were not important So, when he got much money one day, I-lis safe was full of these lesser matters, So that he had no place For his money. And robbers discovered it and rob bed him, Wise man that he was, Because l-Ie kept his safe littered with unim portant Trifles. Wise fool. PAGE 40 1931 SAGA
