Math Club prepares students for contests recent addition to Glen brook South s long list of clubs. ln general, the Math Club works on math problems and new concepts in preparation for the many math contests through- out the year. The club is a good idea. It helps the students great- ly with the problems found fre- quently on math contests, claims senior Howard Chodash. Mr. Ken Lucas, adviser of the club, issues problems and helps the club members with any ques- tions they may have. He gives not only difficult math problems that may be found in the classes, but also he gives problems that are not familiar with most of the people. The Math Club participates in many math contests throughout the year. Of these, there are the North Suburban Mathematics League Mathematics Field Day, The Illinois Mathematics League contests and the Atlantic, Atlan- tic-Pacific Mathematics League contests. GBS consistenly does well in all of these contests. The school is currently one of the top math schools in Illinois. Dave Langer, the club president, is rated in the top 10 of all stu- dents who take the Atlantic-Pa- cific test in the United States and he ranks first in Illinois. Because the school pays the minimal fee for entering the con- tests, the club does not need any fund raising activities. This is the first year of the Math Club. We recognized that the school was very capable of doing well in math contests, and we felt that by adding a math club it would even improve the math scores, added Chodash. The Math Club was formed to encourage participation in var- ious math contests at GBS. Math contests give students he Math Club is the most -Tath 81 Science interested in mathematics a chance to work difficult prob- lems that challenge their math ability, concluded Lucas. To keep up with the times, the Science Department pur- chased a new TRS-80 computer. This year the science depart- ment purchased a micro com- puter to be used in the physics, the science and technology, and the chemistry classes, and it is also open for students to use after school. The computer is useful in the labs and the experi- ments in the classes. We bought the computer to keep up with the times. It familiarizes the students with the world of com- puters, and it is a useful tool in science, stated Instructional Supervisor Mr. Richard Good- speed. Among other changes, the de- partment expanded its live ma- terial collection. They have ac- quired such animals as guinea pigs and lizards for observation. The Science Department in- troduced two new awards this year. The first is a S100 scholar- ship from Kraft, Inc. It is an award for outstanding achieve- ment in science and engineering. The other award is the Leo Leathers Horticulture Award, given to the top horticulture stu- dent. The award is given in memory of Mr. Leathers, who died last year. Finally, Mr. David DeBarr and Mr. Howard Jenewein were the most recent additions to the Sci- ence Department. Mr. DeBarr teaches biology classes, while Mr. Jenewein teaches physics.
