A mathematician is a device for turning coffee into theorems.

Hiiii! Okay, so, the tournament is this coming Saturday, January 15, 2005 at Clear Lake High School. Those of you that that need rides, meet at the teacher's parking lot on South Rice at 7:00 am! If you want to leave the tournament early, make sure that you arrange a ride home. If you have not already submitted your registration form and money, Monday, January 10, 2005 is the last day you can sign up! If you are unsure if you can go, you can still show up the day of the tournament and buy your tickets there, though some tests may be sold out. The Clear Lake Tournament has been cancelled.

Maps will be provided at the meeting this Thursday, January 13, 2005 in the usual place in Ms. Ghosh's room (S263). We will be signing up/paying for the Clements Tournament and doing an AMC test practice. If you have not picked up your t-shirts, come get them from Ms. Ryman's room (207). Pink bunny and black hippo shirts are still available if anyone would like to buy a shirt!

Fill in the sign-up forms below and return them to the officers or Ms. Ryman ASAP! Please tell us if you can go to St. Marks (February 5, 2005) by the meeting on Thursday!
