Headed by president, Mary Anderson, vice-president Nick Markoff, secretary Nina Demchuk, and representative John Hendriksen, the members work with problems of many kinds, both practical and fantastic. The big event of the year, the participation of three delegates in the Pi Mu Epsilon Interscholastic Mathematics Contest at N.Y.U., was held on March 13th. The annual Christmas party luckily took place before the ‘Blizzard of ‘47’ and was different in that non-members were allowed as guests. The picnic in June was another non-mathematical event that the Math Club looked forward to. BReel-Aunners ELDOM do you see the movie-projector fail, or the quality of tone and the C sharpness of the picture fade. Perhaps this is due to the expert training that the fellows who operate the machines receive. Every boy must pass stiff tests on each piece of equipment before he is allowed to operate it. On completion of the tests he is given a license and the initiation. All the school is grateful for the services of our projection squad. 12

The Lowdown Un High Lights ATE afternoon in the library is the time and place for most of the Hunting- ton High's journalistic efforts. The noise of the typewriter keys coupled with the chattering of the staff provides a not altogether too business-like “news-room” atmosphere—Questions fly back and forth—such as— Are we running this feature in the next issue?’’—'’What's the count on this headline?” or—'’ Who wrote the story on the last game?” Despite the fact that the Editor-in- Chief runs a definite risk of turning prematurely gray, Dick rises above his difficulties in grand style. Since its founding only two years ago, High Lights has come far towards becoming a topnotch publication. Under the able sponsorship of Miss Lynch and Mr. Badura and with some helpful pointers obtained at a Syracuse press conference, it has improved greatly and become one of the best school papers in the county. Oit Back... Relax... and Listen HE spotlight gleams on Charlie’s trumpet. . . . Peggy tinkles the piano | ea and the drums keep a soft rhythm in the background... . Magical strains of “Embraceable You” fill the auditorium as Bob steps from the cur- tains and tells us to sit back, relax and listen. . . . The show is on! It is often said that two heads are better than one. The 9 O'clock Club be- lieves that eight heads are even better, so all the emcees (Jane Finley, Joan Ann Caffrey, Betty Fillekes, Celia Pagano, Wally Wells, Tom Schafer, Henry Gutersohn, and Bob Gordon) combined their talents, to present something new in entertainment at Huntington High. Who can ever forget the time “R. L. Simpson's Scandals” brought vaude- ville back to Huntington, with. ‘‘Duchess Mahoney”, Yodeler of the Yukon and Darling of the Klondike, and her Flora-Dora Girls? Who could keep a straight face when Bob “Mighty Mouse” Gordon emceed the ‘’Truth or I’m Sorry’ quiz program?

Come In Station We WLU. 66g TRANGE noises echo from the darkness.” No, it isn't the supernatural, C but merely Mr. Baty’s Radio Club, practicing sending and receiving on their club-built 10-watt transmitter. Every Wednesday night these would-be “hams” gather around their equipment to study the intricacies of radio sets, and to improve their Morse Code sending speed. Far into the night they stand by, ready to intercept or transmit messages over the Island's ether. For almost two years now, the Club has been sponsored by the G.O., and supported by the more devoted radio fans in the school. Members even include a few repairmen from Huntington. Science “Chain Gang’ HIS group of students composed of members of the Physics, Chemistry, ae Biology classes, helps out in the laboratories doing demonstrations, setting up experiments and keeping track of materials. There are usually two lab assistants at a time who serve for a period of six weeks. These crews get important training in lab procedure. All in all, work is combined with pleasure. 13
