u lpha Theta Speakers characterized club meetings. Members of Mu Alpha Theta, Eastside's mathematics honor society, believed the application of mathematics to be interest- ing and fun. To be a member, a student must have a 3.0 grade point average in all academic areas, plus they must have taken college preparatory classes. They posessed qualities of industri- ousness, initiative, and reliability. One activity for the year was a field trip to the University of Florida's Chemical Engineering Plant on February 18. Engi- neering students talked with members and gave a tour of the plant. Together with the National Honor Society and JETS, Mu Alpha Theta participated in a Christmas breakfast at Skeeter's. Meetings were held once a month either at school or at a member's home. Some were held after school, some at night. Lectures on various math-related subjects made up many of the meetings. A representative from the Civitan Regional Blood Center, a professor at the University of Florida who gave a lecture on the Rubic's Cube, and Mr. Swain who talked about the University's engineering program were several speakers. Officers were Sharyl Kamlah, president, Becky Nettles, vice president, Lissa Stallings, secretary, and treasurer. Mrs. Teresa Swain was sponsor. l.

The club started off its year with a new teacher and much enthusiasm. Ms. Leslie Perkins, advisor, had high hopes for the club, one of which was hosting the District Forum Contest at Eastside on Feb. 13. Other projects included raising money for State Forum on April 2l-23 at Day- tona Beach, The new members were initiated by acting as slaves to the old members for a week. At the end ofthe week, a party was held in honor of the slaves. Prizes were awarded to the Best behaved slavel' and to whoever could win the slave olympics, which consisted of games such as rolling an olive across the floor with one's nose. With increased interest in the Latin club, Ms. Perkins hoped to expand the Latin program and recruit more members in future years. 2 1. One of Ms. Perkins' students reveals a secret to her. 2.
