At alternate meetings problems in The Brainteaser were discussed under the leadership of one of the members of the staff. The Brainteaser is the club paper which consists of a mimeographed sheet containing mathematical prob- lems, puzzles, and fallacies contributed by members of the club and gathered to- gether and printed by the staff. The staff this year consisted of Malcolm McQuarrie, editor, and Marie Holt, Jean McClay, and Betty Chase. Among the many inter- esting programs presented was a lecture by Professor Paul Eaton of Lafayette College on “Johannson Gauge-Blocks.” At another meeting Professor Alfred Benner, also of Lafayette College, spoke on “How to Draw a Straight Line.” At a later meeting Mr. Brotzman addressed the club on “Peculiar Properties of Numbers.” The club contributed geometrical designs to the Lehigh University Conference of Teachers of Mathematics. In charge of the programs were Carl Helstrom, president; Marie Holt and Malcolm McQuarrie, vice presidents; June Curtis, secretary; and William Stack- house, treasurer.

This year’s club consisted of thirty-two members. Meetings were held on the second and the fourth Wednesday of each month. At the meetings experiments were performed which were not done during the regular class periods. Among the experiments performed individually were the preparation of various kinds of paint, the etching of glass by the use of hydro- fluoric acid vapor, and the analysis of various commercial products. Occasionally a student who was especially interested in a certain principle in chemistry gave a demonstration before the group and explained the experiment. For example, demonstrations on diffusion of gases through a porcelain crucible, the liquefaction of gases, and capillary action were given. One of the experiments which aroused the general interest of the club was that of copperplating. Keys and other metallic objects belonging to the members were immersed in a bath of copper sulphate solution, and copper was deposited on them by means of an electric current. Many other interesting experiments were performed by the club throughout the year. These have given the members valuable experience in handling laboratory appa- ratus, in addition to that which they get in the regular class periods. The officers of the club were the following: president, Malcolm McQuarrie; vice president, Lorraine LeVan; treasurer, Jon Segraves; secretary, Marie Holt; and the adviser, Mr. James. The programs were in charge of the Program Com- mittee consisting of Carl Helstrom, chairman, and Ira Reilly, Clair Davis, and Jack Eaton. Marian Poewistilo, Irene Scar- pino, Katherine IAcborman.

It participated in the State Bible Contest and rated highest among the clubs of Easton, Wilson, and Phil- lipsburg in the State Bible Study of the topic Gateways to Freedom.” It belonged to the Tri-City Hi-Y Council and helped to plan such social functions as the tri-city dance and several joint meetings with the Girl Reserves. The Junior Hi-Y also had a bowling team which played several matches with other clubs. OD GOdOKOE DOCHran Twenty-one
