I t's not hard to study something you enjoy, said Shari Ishihara when she found out that she had been chosen as the winner of the Bank of America Science and Mathematics Award. The same opin- ion was expressed by many of the other fifteen winners of awards. The General award winners may also win scholarships by competing with students from other schools in an essay writing contest. The honor of receiving an award like that is enough, claimed Juliet Sebastian. I am very satisfied with that alone. Boy's and Girl's State Award winners, Scott Rosenberger and Patty Hultberg with runner-ups Jack O'Connor and Kathy Krommenhoek.

 And the Winners Are... I f I don't win. I'll poison whoever does.'' These words slipped from the lips of an unidentified student at the scene of the choosing of the Boy's and Girl's State award winners. Scott Ro- senberger and Patty Hultberg were given the honor of representing Madi- son at a special convention in Sacra- mento on government. The State awards are presented to juniors on the basis of academic achievements and involvement in school activities. It's not something you consciously work for, said Patty Hultberg. It comes as a result of everything you do through- out your school years. IN ot all Madison students are apathetic to the problems our nation is facing. Jack O'Connor and Shari Ishihara have attempted, through their science fair project, to find a solution to the present energy crisis. Using a computer to process all data, they set up a display showing the re- sults of their research. There were two other projects entered in the city Science Fair by Madison students. These were a flywheel display by Bruce Robinson and a three dimensional aerial combat simulator by Brad Konopik. ENERGY CRISIS APPROACH 182 Awards

More Than Just Marching w here on our campus can the words about face!, at ease! and front and center! be heard? Well, just hang around Room 602 anytime and you'll be sure to hear the members of ROTC shouting their commands. Containing both boys and girls, the ROTC class boasts a large membershipand many updated standards. One of these standards is the lenient restrictions regarding the length of hair. We win more praise from outside organizations than any other school organization. , says Major Jim Gosnell. Most ROTC mem- bers enjoy this praise and strive to keep their good image. But, ROTC isn't all marching and saluting. Cadets learn the purpose of a peace-time military force, and are taught self-descipline and self- respect. 184 R.O.T.C.
