Griffin. Mu Alpha Theta Encourages Mathematical Development Fulfillment and high interest in mathematics char- acterize the membership of The High School and Junior College Mathematics Club, better known as Mu Alpha Theta. This honor organization, sponsored by Mr. Nor- man Richards requires a superior scholastic average as well as mastery of the subject with which it deals. The Norland Chapter was formed under the sponsorship of the Mathematical Association of America to satisfy the aptitude of students with an affinity for mathematics. Membership has grown sharply this year, reflecting in- creased emphasis on math and science in todays space age. Various club projects were designed to lend assistance to the student body. Members put their lecturing skill and knowledge to work by conducting a lengthy series of problem and study sessions to prepare interested students for the grueling National Math Test, which was administered in March. Members traveled to the University of Miami to attend open seminars, which were given by eminent guest lecturers, sponsored by Mu Alpha Thetas college counterpart, Pi Mu Epsilon.

Advanced Spanish Club Orients Amigos Investigating the interesting aspects of the Spanish language, culture and literature, the Advanced Spanish Club seeks to increase the knowledge of its members by relating the customs and civilization of Spanish nations. Sponsored by Mrs. Pacheco and Mrs. Bakerman, the Ad- vanced Spanish Club acquaints its members with Latin American culture and art in order to augment their insight of the problems of our southern neighbors, which is the first step toward a true understanding. Through its program, the Club contributed to the im- provement of hemispheric relations. Many of the members have traveled to Mexico, Columbia, and other Spanish speaking nations and have acquired first-hand knowledge of conditions there. The club invited Visitors from Latin America to participate as guest speakers in panel discus- sions. The individual members were able to develop their fluency by conversing with the friendly and congenial amigos who eagerly shared their knowledge of their native language and customs. Since the business meetings are conducted entirely in this language, the Advanced Spanish group is composed of only those students presently en- ADVANCED SPANISH CLUB OFFICERS-A.
