FANCY FIGURING
Mu Alpha Theta was an organi–
zation comprised of dedicated mathema–
ticians.
Members proved their
committment to this pilar of acadamia
by making sacrifices twice a month to
attend early morning meetings. Nor–
mally, Mrs. Tyree prepared some sort of
interesting activity, like decoding or 3-D
tic-tac-toe, to delve into the more com–
plicated aspects of equations. However,
the rewards of being a member were not
merely limited to an extension of one's
knowledge. Members had several op–
portunities to tutor younger, aspiring
rnatheticians. During the course of the
year Franklin's chapter of Mu Alpha
Theta hosted a math contest for middle
schools in Williamson County. Mu Al–
phaTheta members ran the whole show.
Stacy Carmichael, president, said, "Mu
Alpha Theta is for all nerds, not justmath
heads. I'm not taking a math class this
year and I'm the president! You join for
the prestige, but you stay for the people.
Oh, and the free food at the math con–
tests." Cleary, there was enough fun to
around.
Roll Call. Rolling down the highway on the way to a math
conte t, Mrs. McMillan calls out the name of each student
making sure that they did not leave anyone behind.
