'l'hey were in Mr. DeMott's room, and, of course, they were still arguing. llam, l could- 'tlllease don't call me 'llam' on Fridayg l'm a Catholic, interrupted the theater mouse. O, K., Ilamlet, l still feel like guawing your eyes out every time you belittle our school. Always Belittling: that's you! If you weren't my guest, I really would teach you a lesson! The idea of saying that thc study of mathematics and science went out with noiseless mousetraps! You're as dumb as a cat! Cooky Hnished with a definite finality, as if all was ended with his last statement. But Ilamlet would not let anyone call him names, not on his short life! Burgeois, learn how to address your superiors in the proper manner. lla lla! always bragging about something, and yet you don't even know what even the Held mice learn when yet in their infancy, sneered Cooky. 1 still say, maintained the erstwhile actor, 'Athat no one who is anyone bothers to study mathematics any morefl Ah! But that is where you are entirely wrongf' rejoined Cooky. Today, mathematics and science are both becoming more important than they ever were before. The reason for this is due primarily to the fact that the machine age has brought science and its related subjects to the foreground. Engineers End that there is a great deal of mathematical and scientific knowledge to learn before they can even think of building a bridge. UI understand that very well. But why have all this stuff in high school? I mean these clubs, such as the Engineering Club and the Slide Rule Club? A l'here are a great many boys, and some girls too who, although they haven't the remotest idea of ever becoming an engineer or the like, join these clubs because they are interested in learning the mysteries of the instruments that one must use in this type of work. Or else they do have the ambition to bcome a mathematician or an engineer, and so join these clubs to prepare for the future, Cooky explained. But ean't they get this knowledge in their regular classes? XYhy have these clubs? Engineering Club 66
