Olympics of the Mind mem- bers spent much time this year learning to think divergently. They used techniques such as brainstorming. Members worked in teams of five and individually on problems and projects. Last spring the DCHS Olym- pics of the Mind team traveled to Mt. Princeton, Michigan to com- pete internationally. They were proud to bring home a second place. They also claimed several first places in state competitions. LYMPICS OF THE MIND: R. Frislie, G. Phelps, R. Yochem, I..

Por some reason they seem to have a magnetic attraction to each other. Evidence of this has been witnessed lurking in the shadows for some time now. On several occasions, some of our more brilliant Huskies were found congregating 1 in small groups discussing quite technical issues. This year all the secrecy was abandoned and these masked men decided to make themselves known. They called themselves the Math Club and Science Connections. The Math Club sponsored by Ms. Iodene Bartolo appealed to 20 students, the majority of whom were interested in pursu- ing a math related career. For most the weekly meeting was an opportunity to explore new mathematical horizons, abolish uncertainties from past courses, and gain a firmer grasp on con- cepts being presented during daily classes. Junior Lea Kent stated it best as something useful to do after school rather than going home to watch Leave it to Beaver. Science Connections was started this year by Mr. Prank Vretenar and was open to any- one interested in learning more extensive science than was of- fered in the classroom. Much time was spent viewing film- strips and VTR's which were later discussed.
