Discussions The National Honor Society in- ducted 57 seniors in November with a modified eligibility requirement: a cumulative B average. The new seniors joined old members in discussion groups which debated the problems of integration and Latin American relations in heated, though friendly, sessions. Sponsor Miss Mar- garet Kauffman and NHS officers obtained guest speakers including Mr. Verne Vance, Jr., who spoke on the advantages of a stronger United Nations. The NHS concluded the year with an induction of juniors and a few seniors. Mr. Verne Vance of the American Association for the United Nations tells NHS members about the financial problems of the UN which were created by the 1960 Congo Crisis. Honor Society: bottom row: R.

Hollander, L Mu Alpha Theta member Robin Richards helps Julia Middleton learn the properties of the line in co-ordinate geometry at one of the weekly tutoring sessions of the mathematics honorary society. Delivering dissertations on com- puter programming, Roman numer- als, and calculus amused mathema- ticians in Mrs. Ellen Bortz's Mu Alpha Theta. Mu also welcomed the discourses of outside mathemati- ciansg one lecturer predicted that in a few years computers will accept directions in English, While another explained the difference between cryptography fghoulishly identified by macabre students as writing on gravestonesb and cryptology fthe study of codes and ciphersb. Mu members also performed tutoring services for student problems in cir- cular functions. Junior Mu Alpha Theta, sponsored by Mrs. Sally Ann Berendson, off- ered juniors advancement in mathe- matical sophistication. This group tutored in Algebra 1 and in some geometry dealing with first degree equations and indirect proofs. , .. M Q, . ,ggk . 'f if 'W M in-1 . gg.
