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. The Music Club also cooperated with the other groups in making the Spring Carnival and the Spring Festival successful affairs. The officers during the fall se- mester were Harry Zerebniak, president; Harriet O ' Rourke, vice- president; Mary Jo Brummel, sec- retary; and Marvin Barr, treasurer. President for the spring semester was Lydia Paulikat; vice-presi- dent, Marius Gallagher; secretary, Lorraine Marks; and treasurer, Harry Zerebniak. 78 FIRST ROW: Marianne Daley, Eleanor Nesby, Irene Riggs, Rita Moore, Emmy Domazel, Muriel Landers, Lorraine Marks, secretary.

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.

Lockard read the short stories of Saki (H. H. Munro), and Mr. Charles Baker commented on records from ]u {us Caesar and Hamlet.

This year the Wilson Orchestra has grown into an organization of full symphonic proportions. From a very modest beginning, it has developed, under the direction of Mr. Henry Sopkin, into a musical group of which Wilson may well be proud. The orchestra provides valuable experience for the professionally- minded musicians, provides a mu- sical background for those mem- bers who have no such ambition, and offers cultural entertainment to the student body. The ninety members of the or- chestra participate in college as- semblies, such as Wilson ' s annual Spring Festival. Mr. Sopkin does not confine his selection of music to the well-known works of stand- ard composers, but is always in search of new compositions. Works by contemporary compos- ers, such as Stravinsky, Howard Hanson, Menotti Salta, Roy Harris, and many others, find a prominent place in the repertoire of the or- chestra, along with works of such composers as Tschaikowsky, Strauss, and Grieg. The orchestra has proven itself to be a versatile group of musicians.
