Oh, the puns could flow, but I shall resist. Below is a picture of the "Outstanding Math Major" Plaque hanging in the Department. The first entry is from 1989-90, and it was updated (as far as I can tell) regularly until 1996. Then it just hung around for 12 years...
So we finally got our act together and completed the entries from 1997 on forward, relying on our own memory and that of the University archivist (Mrs. Sybil Novinski) and the Provost's office (Mrs. Bette Manzke). But done we got it.
So without further ado, I present the plaque of honor:
As you can see, it's very shiny. And (leave it to us clever mathematicians) it's a trapezoid! Ok, that's just the distortion from my camera phone.
Finally, if you see any mistakes or know of anything missing, please let me know. We'll get it fixed up quick (i.e. in another 10 years or so --- just kidding!).

I can confirm that the names for 1999 are correct. :-)
Quel domage! Oh for what might have been if only I had been a math major...
A trapezoidal honor plaque! If only I had been a math major... Quel domage! But then again, Joe Hejkal had it hands down...
