Mr. Hatley Smiles
The Physics class has four pieces

Rnv j ^ Dial-Resistance
^.^o^f^Uftometer, a Collision
Balls Apparatus and a Gilley In
duction Coil.
The Dial-Resistance Box mea
sures from 0 to 100 for physics
experiments in electricity.
^ Conductometer demon
strates the different rates of heat
conduction in different rates used
m the study of heat in physic^
The Collision Balls Apparatus
with a scale demonstrates the
of momentum.
• Vl I Induction Coil is used
m the study of electromagnetism
and provides a number of illustra
tions in the study of electrical ap-
psrd. tus.
Mr. Hatley said that thp
N.D.E.A National Defense Edu-
cation Act, rnade it possible for
the physics department to pur
chase this new equipment by pav
ing one-half of the cost.
Caughman Rapidly
Improving In S.C.
Miss Chicora Caughman is
now improving rapidly at her
home in Lexington, S. C„ ofter
an operation.
If all goes well she will be
back at A.S.H.S. by the middle

and the faculty sent her
pajamas and a matching robe.
She sends her thanks for the
gifts and says that she is al
ways happy to receive cards
and letters from A.SJI.S. stu
dents.
Math Club Called
Mu Alpha Theta
Theta, a newly or-
ganized club sponsored by Mrs
Gantt, is the name given the
National
^ 0^1 Junior College
Math Clubs.
Approximately twenty - five
seniors and juniors, all of whom
® average as a total
or all of their subjects, compose
this group. ^
There are three main commit-
tees that make the club possible:
(1) the Administrative Commit-
Rules Committee,
and (3) the Program Committee.
The Administrative Committee
is composed of Charles Stockton
chairman; Steve Smith, asso-
ciate-chairman; and Sylvia Wall
secretary - treasurer. Chairman
and Associate-chairman are titles
that correspond to president and
vice president. The responsibili
ties of the officers are limited.
Six members will make up the
Rules Committee. None have
been selected as of yet. In the
future the Rules Committee will
determine who is and who is not
elegible for membership, set
standards, and make any neces
sary changes in rules and func-
ti(ms of the organization.
Perhaps the most important of
the three is the Program Com
mittee. Rowena Kluttz will serve
as chairman with Raymond
ii^arnhardt serving as co-chair-
man. Rowena and Raymond’s
chief duty is to decide which pro
gram area will be in charge of
Programs for each meeting.

tees are: (1) Advanced Math

Algebra, (4) Visitors

FRANCES SIDES
Chapter Officer
3-M Top Notcher
For This Month
Frances Sides was selected
Top Notcher” of the month at
the meeting of the Modern Mu
sic Masters on January 26, which
featured a program on “Stero-
phonic Sound” given by Robert
Throneburg.
Robert Throneburg showed the
difference between monaural
and stereophonic sound by draw
ing a diagram of the two sound
types. He pointed out that mon
aural sound is recorded only with
one speaker, while stereophonic
sound uses several speakers, en-
alDling the listener to hear the
different instruments and to get
different tones. After his inform
ative talk, Robert played some
stereo recordings for the group.
Frances, chosen “Top Notcher”
of the month, takes a big part in
the music activities of the school.
A voice student of Mrs. J. W. Al
mond, she has been featured as
soloist in several Senior Choir
programs. Frances is currently
serving as secretary of the Mod
ern Music Masters and she is al
so a member of the National
Honor Society.
Chapter yearbooks were given
to the members of the Society.
The yearbooks have been sent to
otl^r chapters over the country
and will be evaluated.
