Mr. Smerz jokingly said that the team was in a rebuilding year. However, on a more serious note, he said that with the return of many skillful players, next year's team would be the most promising he has moderated. Students who participated in the Math Club will never forget those early morning tests. Under the moderation of Mr. Fowler, members competed in state wide tests such as A.P.A.C. and l.L.M.L. Those mindboggling tests will forever remain in mathletes memories. Clubs f 73
