President Meg Ghent about trigonometric equation at Math Club meeting. Kitty Doscher reads about opportunities in teaching profession in inform- ative pamphlets issued to FTA members. Math Club Such challenging subjects as rubber-sheet geometry, patho-circles, infinity, and the Mobius strip were thoroughly investigated by members of this year's Math Club. At their Wednesday evening meetings, presided over by President Meg Ghent and Adviser Dr. Oscar Schaaf, students discovered many new fields of mathematical interest to which they were not exposed in the classroom. Several professors and graduate students from the University of Oregon spoke on a variety of topics associated with mathematics, and an afternoon was spent viewing a computer in the University math laboratory. The club was open to any student with an interest in math and a desire to learn. FTA Meeting once a month for lectures, films and panel discussions, interested students planned their ca- reers as teachers of tomorrow. Visiting the state and regional conventions, members of the Future Teachers of America also heard speeches by Uni- versity of Oregon education majors and other persons atiiliated with the teaching profession. Observing classes, helping instructors, and attend- ing seminars at the University provided useful practice for FTA members. A S100 scholarship was awarded to the club's outstanding senior. President Karen Copperstone, guided by Dr. Raymond Kehl and William Dedman, made this year's program a worthwhile experience.
