Working with figures, math club solves problems Through studying mathematics out¬ side of the classroom, the Math Club provides a stimulating and interesting media for its members. The club al¬ lows and encourages t he student to work creatively with mathematics in all of its aspects. Among its yearly ac¬ tivities is the field trip to the Bedford Math-O-Rama, where math projects are displayed, and the Problem of the Month, a problem assigned at each meeting for solution by the following month. The members view films on subjects related to math and work on assigned math projects, which include booklets, drawings, and crossword puzzles. The club also enters its mem¬ bers in the annual High School Math Contest. Working on the Problem of the Month, BuUp Kim searches for the solution.

Field trips are planned by science club Personal involvement is the keynote of this year ' s Science Club. The mem¬ bers are working on projects ranging from a study of the emotions of plants to designing and building an electric motorcycle. Since they are an affiliate of the Science Clubs of America, they are eligible to enter their projects in statewide contests and vie for money prizes. The Science Club holds hopes of field trips in the spring to a NASA installation or the National Radio Observatory. For students with a real interest in science, this club offers a casual way to broaden and deepen knowledge and to gain recognition.

Mrs. Hollis confers with Kirsten Rowe and Mike Amowitz during an after school session in German. Sheryl Ferguson looks on as Betsy Thornhill and Mrs. Hollis examine a German book list. German club brings a closer view of germany After a successful debut, the German Club, sponsored by Mrs. Hollis, launched its second year. The club was formed to provide an outlet for interested students to learn more about Germany and the German lan¬ guage. Conversations are spoken in German as much as possible. Films and guest speakers compose the major part of the programs with the empha¬ sis on modern Germany, its problems and progress. German week was observed by var¬ ious areas and classrooms in the school were labeled with signs writ¬ ten in German. Christmas was cele¬ brated by the singing of traditional carols in German. The German Club, although new at Glass, is already es¬ tablishing a firm hold in giving stu¬ dents an interesting in-depth view of the nation whose language they are learning.
