The newly formed Sigmund, Psy- chology Club, introduced a fresh topic of investigation into school organizations. Although Sigmund started later than most of the other clubs, this fact did not keep students from joining the Psy- chology Club. Speakers on such topics as mental tele- pathy and reincarnation were g uests at the club ' s meetings. Other activities in- cluded a visit to the state mental hospital and a conference at Carroll High School. One Sunday, members attended a service at a Spiritualistic Church with sponsors Mrs. Gloria Korach and Mrs. Patricia Brannock. The year ' s money making pro- ject was selling eggs. President Carolyn Douglas keeps Sigmund ' s meetings running smoothly as they discuss their future activities. 90 Organi7ations

MU ALPHA THETA Math Club Adds Up Laura Davis, historian, Joan Barker, Idn Ayala, secretary; Carol MacDonald, president, Steve Pattison, vice-president, and Cheri Perry, treasurer, meet after school to assemble King flags for selling the next day. Math and fields closely related to it are the prime interests of Mu Alpha Theta members. Meetings, which are held on the first and third Tuesdays of each month, consist of projects, speakers, films, and field trips associated with computers, physics, engineering, and other math- related subjects. Emphasis is placed on promoting ability in number sense and the use of the slide rule for University Interscholastic League tournaments, in which members compete against other schools. Mu Alpha Theta, led by Mrs. Cynthia Viggins and president Carol MacDonald, sponsors the Slide Rule and Chess clubs along with their other activities. Parties provided fun and the opportunity for the members to get better acquainted with each other. The year ended with trips to Austin and the University of Texas, where members went on a tour of the College of Engineering to see special exhibits.
