MATH CLUB ENTERS THE AGE OF COMPUTERS Under the direction of Mr. McHugh, the Math Club of S.P.F.H.S. has provided students with a meaningful program of extra-curricular mathematics. The 1968-1969 school year was the year of the Pro- gramma lOl for the Math Club. The club's major project was instruction on the use of this computer and this was offered to club members and interested students. As a new service, instruction on the Programma 101 was beneficial to the many befuddled students of Algebra II who were forced to tangle for the first time with the complexities of the '4Com- puter Age.
