MATH CLUB REPORT Page 56 This year ' s work in the Math Club, tinder the sponsorship of Miss Jagoe, included reports on such interesting mathematical subjects as moduli numbers, polar coordinates, hexafleragons, complex numbers, and the game of hex. Several meetings were devoted to explanations of various phases of mathematics. By posting math problems on the bulletin board the club created school-wide participation. t ■ • f • . One of the most interesting projects of the year was the adoption of a Math Club symbol. The symbol chosen was the Pythagorean Theorem with the Ck-eek letters Sigma Delta Mu inscribed within the proof to represent Sodalitas Disciplorum Mathematicae (Society of Students of Mathematics). As this interesting club increases in member¬ ship, activities and projects, the symbol will increase in meaning. The year ' s acti¬ vities were led by.the executive: Jim Jamison, President; Morris Bleviss, Vice-President Betsy Fleming, Secretary. ss= ======:==:: CERCLE FRANCAIS Les membres du Cercle Francais se sont reunis cette annee le lundi de 11 heures et demie une heure moins le quart. ......
