Every Wilson man who has earned a college letter in some sport is eligible for membership in the Lettermen ' s Club. Coach Wal- ter Smith, the sponsor for the spring term of 1941, leads the group whose chief aims are to promote athletics, to arouse more school spirit among the students, and to manage intra-mural tournaments. The Brawn Boys of the Letter- men ' s Club have been under the able leadership of Oliver Rondel, who has acted as president during the spring semester. Louis Man- kus served as vice-president of the club; Paul Podmajersky as secre- tary, Jim McClowry as sergeant- crt-arms while Conrad Kubina served as Club Board representa- tive. Every year the Lettermen ' s Club holds a banquet at which a cup is presented to the athlete who best combines sportsmanship and scholarship. The last athlete so honored was Hilding Olander, who was presented with the cup at the recent Lettermen ' s banquet.

Brazda. This group of service students is carefully selected upon the recom- mendations of members of the fac- ulty, on the basis of commendable character, scholastic achievement, and participation in extra-curricu- lar activities. Students ore chosen from all classes except the first semester class. The duties of the Junior Staff members range from ushering at all school occasions, such as on commencement night, opera or concert night, and theater night, to handling the student elections, representing Wilson on visitation days, and assisting during Orien- tation Week at the beginning of the term. Chairman of the Junior Staff for the past two semesters has been James Ginty, and ably assisting him as co-chairman is Albert Pask, who succeeded Ralph Gould, co- chairman during the fall semester.

Afudlc Meeting every two weeks, the Mathematics Club provides an op- portunity for students interested in this subject to become better ac- quainted with it and with each other. The Math Club is one of the oldest organizations in the school, tracing its origin as far back as the old Crane College. At its regular meetings, students, fac- ulty members, and outside speak- ers lead discussions on topics of pure or applied mathematics. Some of the topics discussed were The Story of the Abacus, All About the Fourth Dimension, The Prob- lems of Map Ma ing, The Relativ- ity of Time and Space, and Permu- tations and Combinations. A few of the leaders were Dr. Luise Lange, Dr. Jerome Sachs, Dr. Jacob Kinney, and Dr. Bernard Friedman; and students Morton Zeman, Cyril Cohen, Mary McNamara, and John Snyder. The officers of the club during the fall semester were Ann Cum- mings, president; Mary McNama- ra, vice-president; and Annellyn Day, secretary-treasurer. The spring officers included Earl Clen- denon, president; Morton Zeman, vice-president; and Mary McNa- mara, secretary-treasurer. Dr. Lange has been the able sponsor of the Math Club. The Music Club, under the direc- tion of Esther Goetz Gilliland, is organized principally to foster mu- sical talent among Wilson stu- dents. Students need not be en- rolled in any music class to belong to the club which meets every two weeks when it presents programs featuring student talent. One of the most interesting pro- grams featured Mary Jo Brummel singing three lyrics of A. E. Hous- man set to music by Dr. John Raines of the English department. Other Wilson artists who often participate in the programs are Harry Zerebniak, Marvin Barr, Oland Gaston, Esther Bernstein, Charles Peterson, Harriet O ' Rourke, and Lorraine Marks.
