ETS test, travel toward engineering careers Junior Engineering Technical Society, more commonly known as JETS, is a club that wishes to encourage student interest in engineering and related areas. JETS also tries to promote an awareness of opportunities for careers in the sciences and related technical fields. JETS aids students in discovering and appraising their own abilities, aptitudes, and interest. The students participate on a team basis in competitive engineering tests. The members of the Junior Engineering Technical Society traveled to Texas A S M for State Con- ference participation and testing. They solved the unified field theory equations and also perfected the triquantum energy level time travel, joked sponsor Mr. Dan Kutsko, who informed the student body of a most outstanding achievement. The first Nobel Prize for work in Null Set Operations was awarded to David Whitworth. V D. Whitworth, R. Penneywell, R. Hammons, J. Collingsworth, P. Ramamirthan, D. Anderson, Mr. Kutso, C. Tran, M.

Yes, and the junior high math contest was a great success, beamed President David Whitworth. Although only four schools showed up, we still made money, commented Debbie McKeown, Vice President. Mu Alpha Theta began working on the contest immediately after initiating the new members. Tests and answer sheets had to be made, trophies and ribbons bought, sandwiches made to sell, dougnuts ordered, grading systems established, and proctors assigned to rooms. With the guidance of Mrs.Toon and Gause, this was done efficiently and pro- mptly. The chocolate and plain galzed doughnuts arrived warm, and David was ready to conduct the contest over the P.A. system. For the old members, planning the initia- tion of the new members was the first thing on their agenda. This annual induc- tion is revised every year to maintain its high secrecy. t'l think it fthe yearj turned out real well, smiled Mrs. Toon. We got off to a slow start, but we ended up with a real bang! n1'4 A Back row: President, David Whitworthp Vice Presi- dent, Debbie McKeowng Front row: Secretary, Linda Houseg Treasurer, Pradeep Ramamirtham.

I decided to become a library aide because l wanted to learn more about the library. l didn't know much about finding books, stated Ann Piccolo. I thought it would be challenging and help me to learn more about books, added Mike Baker. Deneen Rogers said that she liked talking to the people that come into the library. lt makes me feel good to assist them in finding something they need. All library aides must be either Junior or Senior with a C overall average. The only other requirement is an orientation to prepare them to help other students.
