MU ALPHA THETA The National Mathematics Honor Society, Mu Alpha Theta, boasted a large mem- bership at Rhodes. The group was active this year as many members participated in the nation-wide math contest. The highest scorer at Rhodes in this contest was Gordon Chin. The “new math” was very much on the activities list of the Society this year. The ing and learning this revolutionary type of mathematics were explored Another function of Mu Alpha Theta was to act as editorial board for the Mathe- matician. Under the advisorship of Mr. Barkan, the Society also made a study of com- puters. This is a field in which lies the future of our society. With the exploration of these fields, the members of Mu Alpha Theta gained a deep understanding of the increasingly important field of modern mathematics.

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY This year, the National Honor Society undertook. many projects to benefit both the school and others. The most important of these projects was the support of a Korean orphan. To finance this humanitarian enterprise, the Society sold candy, cake and pizza. On the home front, the Honor Society sponsored a number of projects. There was extensive debate on certain amendments to the Society's charter which was subsequently altered to conform to certain rulings made by the National Headquarters. Mr. Thomas, the Faculty Advisor, hopes to see the Society foster a program to raise the academic standards at Rhodes. In preparation for such a program, the Society formed several committees to study ways in which the Honor Society could cooperate with other school organizations such as the Student Council and the SVA. 25
