Here, indeed, is a group of future captains of commerce and finance. Each is doing a commendable job as cashier, milk supervisor, salesman, or general assistant. Our cafeteria is operated so smoothly and efficiently that within a very short time the entire complement of pupils is served—includ- ing the hot dish, milk, candy, and ice cream, as well as the registering of each individual sale. The cashiers, under supervision of Mr. Goul- ston, operate their registers so accurately that not a single correction slip has been received from the bank or the office of school luncheons. The other assistants, under super- vision of our cafeteria manager, Mrs. Cun- ningham, have been lauded repeatedly for their efficiency and co-operative spirit. The success of the cafeteria at Roxbury Memorial High is due, in large measure, to these “Knights of the Square Table—our lunchroom assistants. To each we say, “thank you for a job well done”.

She toid how mathematics is used at the airport, how it is used in computers, and about mathematics as a vocation. We also studied the slide rule, the binary system, and many interesting prob- lems and processes. The slide rule is a device which simplifies multiplication, division, and the determina- tion of logarithms, antilogarithms, squares, square roots, cube roots, sines, and tangents. The binary system is a means of computing by groups of two. It is used mainly in digital computers, which do not count by using the decimal system which we use. We held elections at the fourth club meeting. Here are the results: Jason Rothberg was elect- ed President; there was a tie between Martin Brackman “pet David Cohen for Vice-President, but on the second ballot David Cohen won. Barry Steinberg was elected Secretary by a large margin, and Steven Lerner was elected Treasurer.
