Each club chose oiiicers and made plans for future meetings. Due to limited time and crowded schedules of seniors, club meetings were irregular, but throughout the year, the various functions, uses, and practical applications of mathematics were discussed. Another part of the program included discussions of brain-tiring and brain-teasing problems, presented by Operation of the slide rule fascinates Myra and Janice as Sandy, fresh from a summer's science honor course, shows it to them. members of the club, who wished the class as a whole to work out some solution. With enthusiasm, the club members measured the pros and cons in choosing math as a profession. It was gen- erally conceded that the Held of math is one with ever- widening horizons. At the end of the year, the club enjoyed class parties, at which each member celebrated his own personal victory over senior algebra.

Bandsmen Cet Individual Attention During amp Camp Socareda, the South Carolina Education Association camp in the mountains of North Carolina, was the prelude to an eventful year for the Union High band. The Ware Shoals band also attended this camp, and each student was given individual instruction in his instrument. Students from both bands partici- pated in a massed band concert on the last day of camp. Using their camp training, the band played a concert at the Spartanburg Memorial auditorium for the first Republican con- vention ever held in South Carolina. Taking time out from marching practice, they played for the Democratic rally in Union. This was in connection with the Presidential-election campaign. From politics to marching, they competed with 14 bands from North and South Carolina at the Piedmont Interstate fair in Spartanburg. They had previously placed fifth, but this year they marched into third place. Spectators often commented on the band's improvement during football half-times when they executed precision drill formations. Leaving the high school at a sleepy 6:00 in the morning, the band invaded Clemson College campus for the annual Band Day in November. Thirty-two bands with a thousand students in them, performed formations and played music together. They played under the leadership of Mr. Butler, Clemson College band director. Raising funds for new unifonns and transportation, the band sold calendars, chocolate, coconut, and mint candy, and raifled homemade cakes. The South Carolina State Music contest climaxed a busy and exciting year for the band.
