32.125525 Getting S6212 Who was the President in 1934? Could you imagine being asked this kind of question in front of an audience? Twelve students had this experience every time they were in a competition. It all started last spring when students took a written test to try and get a place on the Academic Team. Next the students had to go through practices with Mrs. Pat Krejci and then she made the final decision bases on the participation in practices. Once Mrs. Krejci had made her selection the 12 new members had practice every Monday and Wednesday afternoons. At the practices each individual was given points for the questions they answered. When it came time for a tournament the four individuals with the highest scores were the ones that participated in the tournament. The members were penalized if they did not go to practices. Points were subtracted from their scores each time they did not show up. Mrs. Krejci conducted H1 ef , A :lf ' -' ' ASL ' V' , :V .y - - ,,, www .,- ' M., ,t , 2' ':-2 W ..

The practice questions came from sources like Trivial Pursuit, the past years and some were ordered. They were on such subjects as math, science, social studies, languages, art, music, sports, mythology and literature. Then there was the general category that covered any other subject. Much hard work and dedication was put forth by the team. Long afternoon practices payed off in the end. Ellen Stevens -Av W . 13 AJ 1. ' ,J V , , ,, -'wg sf U Q
