Seventh grader Constantine Vasoilopoulis uses his knowledge of computer to solve difficult algorithm. As Vidmas Kondratas types a new program into the computer, sponsor, Mrs. Gholson checks for accuracy. Logical Deductions Computers-a now common household word-have begun to enthuse many students at Lake Braddock. Whether someone was in- terested in creating, exchanging, or just learning about programs, the com- puter clubs existed for them. The clubs, now in their first year, were composed of two divisions: a seventh grade club and an eighth grade club. Mrs Brothers, the sponsor of the eighth grade computer club, said that the principal purpose of both clubs was to gather together interested students in computer knowledge and literacy. The Atari 800’s provided hours of en- joyment and challenge. Who knows, future robots could have been in the making. SEVENTH GRADE COMPUTER CLUB: Spon sor: Ms. Gholson. Members: Cynthia Allen.

Good Answer Students who enjoyed fast- paced mental challenges were encouraged to join the Math Team or the “It’s Academic Team. Although there were no formal membership re- quirements for either club, par- ticipants were expected to exhibit some enthusiasm and potential. Members progressed through several interest sessions. The “It’s Academic Team had meetings on a liberal basis, but when meetings were held, sponsor Mrs. Glaze drilled each member on many of the various subjects to help prepare them for the televised mat- ches against other schools. During a primary match against Archbishop Carroll, the team easily took first place. The Math Team, however, was more informal. Students attended several meetings and tried to solve dif- ficult problems. Those students that solved a high percentage of problems were invited to compete with other schools in the area. Through the long hours of remembering, memorizing, and reasoning, students from both teams felt that association with the clubs had left them with a sense of ac- complishment and had proved to be remarkable experience. IT’S ACADEMIC TEAM: Sponsor: Mrs. Glaze. Captain: Harry Kelly. Members: Scott Hartung, Mark McDowell. Gary Murphy. During an afterschool Math Team meeting.

Video Scene For those who were interested in the audio-visual experience, the A-V Club was formed. The A-V Club offered information and training on the technical uses of audio-visual equipment such as video cameras and recorders. The club learned to put such knowledge to use in videotaping spor- ting events, class elections, and various guest speakers. Overall the club prov- ed to be an excellent opportunity for students to become better acquainted with the technical operations of stan- dard video equiptment. A-V CLUB Sponsor: Mrs. Bard.
