Through history class, students produced, advertised and sold items at their Country Fair. The fair was such a success that almost everyone that participated earned a reasonable profit. A similar success oc- curred within the subschool's math department. For the first time in Lake Braddock’s history an all-eighth grade algebra class was taught by Mr. Troia and Mrs. Brother. Another change ex- perienced was the directory. Under the supervision of the sponsor Mr. Studt and Miss Jahoda, a listing of student names and phone numbers was produc- ed. Representatives from different classes collected the necessary data and the class officers designed and assembled the directory which was printed at school and then later sold. Over all, most eighth graders enjoyed the changes and were glad to have shared them with close friends over the school year. Antonne Sylvas.

Students discovered classes for many of their interests, and the subjects taught were enjoyed by the majority of the students. Algebra I teachers at- tempted to make learning more challenging and interesting with a unit on computers. Pupils were required to make up a program and learn the basic skills. In the English Department. Mr. Greek began a program for his GT students called The Little Red School Van, in which students were to travel to various elementry schools and per- form skits and scenes from assorted novels such as Great Expectations. As Delphine Omkar commented, Students are putting more effort toward their work. The administration is being very cooperative by offering extra help after school which adds to the warm at- mosphere of Subschool III.
