Esaiial. L1II11'I1iI1g Up Have you ever wondered about the whizzes who sit in the back of math class and, no matter how confusing the subject is make straight A's'? Some of these intellectuals were members of the math teams. During their practice X:-b2a Miss Autrey showed the team problems about conic sections. iPhoto by Stephen Babbl time, they worked every sort of math problem imaginable: from trig functions and exponential equations to geometric proofs and the quadratic equation. At the end of February, the math teams competed at the College of Charleston against other Math Teams from across the state. In March, they went to a meet at Furman and in April, travelled to Georgia State University. They also held a competition strictly for members versus parents. Some of the members weren't on the math team just for fun, either Stephen Bradley said, I'm on it because colleges prefer people who are involved in activitiesf' Dawn McCraw Food is our life. The Varsity Math Team enjoyed spending their lunch time together working practice problems. iPhoto by Stephen Babb! Need help?

If you guessed the Phantom Brigade, you're exactly right! Mr. Wayne Bagwell, the new band director, brought new ideas to the band. Mr. Terry Kent choreographed the guard for the Phantom Brigade. The new ideas in directing and choreographing helped the band greatly in Band competition. The band needed more points in the general ef- fects category of competi- tion. The band played the Love Theme from Super- man Mr. Bagwell decid- ed to build a telephone booth and placed a band member, Jim Cason, dressed up as Superman inside the booth. Because of this the band got the extra points they needed. Mr. Bagwell said mod- estly, I hope I haven't changed a lot of things. Of course, I wanted to get the band more exposure, to let our audience know we're back and striving to be better than ever, so we ad- ded a pre-game show as well as playing the half- time show and post-game shows. But as far as change goes - maybe next year, but right now I'd just like to keep the people who were here be- fore I was in the band, as well as the 40-45 new peo- ple. Dawn McCraw 1' Concentration.
