Clubs Compete, Gain Skills T ' . et s 21 P« Ls jjtei» ' by Chris Raymond Scoring the winning touchdown or making the winning basket are things Computer Team and Video Club participants might never experience. Instead, these talent- ed individuals gain their thrills through such accomplishments as solving challenging computer problems and creating their own television series. I see our computer team as being just like any other sport, said senior Tim Carroll, who was one of the team ' s top competitors. In a typical match, four people from each team are given 150 minutes to solve four computer problems on the Apple 11 comput- er. Points are subtracted for bad runs as well as for running over- time. Seaholm has excelled against their competitors, some being Country Day and Brother Rice. Seaholm has captured league championships for the last three years. Our toughest opponent is Brother Rice, noted Matt Kli- mesh. Those students involved in Video Club wrote, directed and produced their own television shows. I joined the Video Club to get a head start in a career I always wanted to see, explained Sarah Paulkstis. Although they don ' t compete, the Video Club is 4( Video Club is a great learning experi- ence . . . acting and broadcasting are great . . . I ' ve never had a better time in my life!?) Mike Fortuna still out to make the best product they can. Most students joined the Video Club to have a good time, to meet new people and most important- ly, to learn about the growing field of television broadcasting. Video Club productions are aired on BPS Channel 21. One show that can be seen right now is Mind Your Language, a quiz game show. The Video Club also started a new exciting series called Psychiatrists of Our Lives , (a soap spinoff). Both the computer team and Video Club members experience the challenge of lively compe- tions. In addition, the skills learned will be a great asset in college and the working world, especially with heavy usage of computers and a need of visual equipment today.
