Both the Math Scholarship and the Modern Algebra Clubs were organized to give students the opportunity to become acquainted with contemporary mathematics. The Modern Algebra Club is for sophomores and the Math Scholarship Club is for Juniors and Seniors. So far, we've learned modular arithmetic and the writing of numbers from base 10 to another base. The latter is used in highspeed I.B.M. computing machines. ln addition to the contemporary mathematics, we will go over questions given on for- mer scholarship exams and study the type of mathematics given on College Entrance Ex- aminations. lf we can accomplish this, we then feel we will have met our goal-to be better prepared for college.

The Library Club endeavors to better acquaint its members with the library and its functions by enabling the student to select books and follow the processes from selection to distribution to the student. This process involves selection, accessioning, placement of call numbers, pockets, and date due slips. Also it involves the selection and filling out the appropriate cards, the covering of the books and the placing of the books on the shelves for student use. 92,0 om The Pep Club trains our cheerleaders, our band ma- jorettes, and our color guard. The training given 'helps the members to be- come proficient in body co- ordination, and aids them materially when try outs for the various groups men- tioned above are held. Many who are successful in making the various squads stay in the club because they realize that the train- ing and practice will help them to Perform better. CICS. 975751 Parents and teachers from Nichols, Tioga Elementary, and Tioga Central make up the membership in our P.T.A. Because we have several population areas in our .school district, the slate of officers includes a number of vice presidents, each representing an area. Further- more, the regular meetings are held in a rotating schedule in each of the three buildings. The P.T.A. is not a policy making organization and does not attempt to influence the Board of Education or the administrators of our school. P.T.A. does, however, attempt to aid in accomplishing the goals set up for the education of our youth by helping when and where needed, and by attempting to keep its members informed about the news, trends, and attitudes in education so that both teachers and parents will better understand the program of our school. Local people and others who are recognized for their work in education or in related fields frequently explain and discuss pertinent topics at P.T.A. meetings. The P.T.A. uses the various school organizations and individual student talent to help in making its meeting more attractive and enjoy- able. The Senior Band, Senior Chorus, Dance Band, and other groups, as well as individual students have performed recently. Though P.T.A. is not basically a fund raising organization it manages to raise enough money to grant two scholarships annually, and to give some financial aid to other student activities. The P.T.A. also helps in grade school activities by having its members serve as room mothers. The annual open house, which in our case occurs at three different times, allows parents and teachers to become better acquainted, and it introduces parents to classroom activities. The P.T.A. lends financial aid and other encouragement for the procure- ment of equipment of a peripheral nature which is deemed necessary to promote higher standards of education.
