TWENTY FUTURE ORATORS CGMPRISE SPEECH CLASS On September 7, 1937, twenty-four students representing all four classes in school, embarked on a journey that presumably would end near the first of June. However, junior Earl Le Veck soon dropped out because of his more consuming passion for athletics, and junior Eleanor Smith's later surrender was due to an unconquerable shyness and timidity, technically known as stage fright. Three other members of the class-junior Robert Abner, freshman Bob Fitzwater, and sophomore Revis Haslett-managed to stay with the ship till near the end of the semester. The remainder of the roll read as follows: Eleanor Bushee, Sophomore, Ralph Bushee, senior, Barbara Conard, freshman, Frances Conard, senior, Phyllis Cornell, sophomore, Wade Hannah, senior, Bonnie Laurence, senior, Betty Norris, sophomore, Sally Phillips, junior, Harryette Salyers, sophomore, Julia Rose Sal- yers, freshman, Ruth Shaff, sophomore, Marshall Swoverland, senior, Gordon Trumbauer, freshman, Grace Von Troesch, freshman, Louis Wagy, senior, Mary Marie Wall, freshman, and Helen Widick, sophomore. At the beginning of the second semester Albert Mohler, junior, joined the ranks. Therefore the second semester finds the class with an enrollment of twenty, six being freshman, six, sophomores, two, juniors, and six, seniors. Of the seniors, Ralph Bushee is com- pleting his fourth year of speech. During the first six weeks the group laid a course for presentation of a Horace Mann playlet as a part of the program for a Parent Teachers' Association meeting. The rest of the first half the voyage was spent in preparing and delivering two-, three-, and five-minute speeches, offering pantomimes and interpreting poetry orall . ,The second half of the voyage has been spent in further interpreting of poetry, exercises in articulation, enunciation and pronunciation, learning some funda- mentals about the art of theatrical make-up, studying some textbook material, and performing in one-act plays. 22

ONLY THOSE WHO PASS THE TEST ARE MEMBERS OF THE MATHEMATICS HONOR SOCIETY The Mathematics Honor Society first organized in 1933. All members are required to pass a special examination before being allowed to join. The meetings are held once a month with each member participating in the program at least once a year. The programs for his year have consisted of: Mathematics and the French Revolution Division of the Circle Unsolved Problems Dyadic System Magic Squares Conic Sections Duality lt has been the custom in previous years to have one outside speaker-Dr. Bailey, who is in charge of freshman mathematics at the University of Illinois, and to invite members of other Mathematics Honor Societies to this meeting. Near the close of the school year this organization holds its annual picnic, the one meeting of the year in which recreation and other sports are planned. This picnic is held in Crystal Lake Park in Champaign. The aim of this organization is to supply the members with some interesting and worthwhile things in mathematics that cannot be obtained in regular mathe- matic courses.
