Mrs. Nelson examines various geometric figures with members of Math Club Mathematics Club CO-SPONSORED BY Mr. Leslie Hiskey and Mrs. Elizabeth Nelson, Math Club provided several oppor- tunities for the mathematically inclined students at Wasson to show their abilities. The first few of its monthly meetings were devoted to the construction of math puzzles which the club used as prizes for its Homecoming booth. At a later meeting Mr. Hiskey helped students make hexa-flexagons, which are strips of paper that can be folded so that their opposite sides are shown. At other meetings Math Club members studied sample problems for the Actuary Contest in March. These members, as well as other interested students who took this test, vied on a nationwide basis for a variety of prizes. During the later part of the year, the club explored the fundamentals and uses of the slide rule.
