Mrs. Billups’ Mathematical Gadgets Showing a decided interest in Mrs. Billups' unique devices for teaching geometry arc Bert Scoggins and Erstyn Fillingim. After summer study at fob ns Hopkins University Mrs. Billups designed these clever instruments to aid her stu- dents in more fully understanding the principles of geometry through this simplified form of il- lustration. This understanding results in greater interest in the course. The ingenious tools are very simple, but they can be made to form the most complex figures. Simply by the use of elastic and thumb tacks on a board any kind °f triangle can be produced, and the principles of the circle can be illustrated. MOM IAN [19

Mrs. Virginia McAllister, view an exhibit in the library. Miss Gatlin, librarian, and her able library workers, in cooperation with Miss Forehand of the social science department, pre- pared this display. When possible, facsimiles of the documents were shown; but if they were not available, pictures representing the history of the documents were used. As a result many students learned more about the milestones in the history of freedom, and those who visited the train were better prepared to appreciate them. 18] MOHIAN

The fam- ily group pictured is composed of Doris Harris, Hetty funeti, Sybil Lyttrell and I ad a Burton.
