The Math Club officers are, from left to right: Mike Bumgarner, David

Math Club Organizes
The Math Club, a charter club
of Wilkes Community College,
held its first meeting of the
present school year in Room 312
at eight o’clock on February 11th.
The first order of business was the
election of club officers and a
brief account of past club
activities by Dr. Jo Hendricks, the
Math Club Advisor.
Linda McCann was elected club
President; Nan Nichols, Vice-
President; Gloria Beatty, Secre-
tary-Treasurer. David Swaringen
was appointed club reporter, and
Mike Bumgarner is in charge of
social activities. A club project is
already in the works to raise
money for charitable causes.
The initial purpose of the Math
Club, however, is to help its
members in their efforts to
understand and apply the con
cepts of mathematics used in
today’s society.
For more information about
the Math Club, contact any of the
club officers or Dr. Hendricks.
Any interested persons may join
at the next meeting. The time and
location will be posted in the
student commons.
To get started in the right
direction, try to solve this
problem: If a fish weighs 10 lbs.
plus half his weight, how much
does the fish weigh? If you think
the answer is 15 lbs., you are
wrong. Look for the answer and
the explanation in the next edition
of the Cougar Cry.

EPIPHANY

drama about a man who
desperately tries to prove his
masculinity to his wife. Firmly
believing that his wife thinks him
a homosexual, the man, an
ornithologist, attempts to exert
his dominance by proclaiming

through epiphany, changing him
self into a rooster. The un
expected soul-searching climax
will leave a lasting impression for
weeks to come.

Greene. The assistant director is
Linda Jennings. The man is
played by Don Church, and the
woman is played by Karen
Wheeling.

BARRY CANTER — Director
ERIS
A man stands on a bridge and
looks at the water far below. Will
he jump? This is just one of the
scenes from the play ERIS. The
play depicts a man who has lost
someone very dear to him and he
in turn has made a goddess of this
lost one.
A violent anger will manifest
itself inside those who watch. The
man’s unending pursuit of
questions tends to drive one to his
own self destruction, and that is
exactly what he wants to do.
See ERIS. You will then
understand.
ERIS is directed by Barry
Canter. The assistant director is
April Anthony. The two princi
ples are played by Jack Smith and
Mike Bailey. The policeman is
Jim Tugman. Second stranger is
Don Brown.
Curtain is at 8:00 p.m.
February I9th and 20th.
