The Computer Aides, a recently organized group, provides a valuable time-saving service for teachers as well as students. These students program the computer and prepare testing materials along with various other jobs. This group is becoming skillful in the uses of the computer, an integral part of our society, and is sure to expand in the years to come. Under the direction of Mr. Schuler, the members of this club compete with representatives from other schools using their ability in solving difficult mathematical problems. Each competitive meet is held every three weeks and a different math problem topic is selected for each meet beforehand to allow the “mathletes “ time to brush up on their skills in that area. At each meet, teams are awarded points for each problem they answer correctly. At the end of the year, the points are tallied, and a trophy is awarded to the school whose team possessed the highest score. Mathletics Members (Left-nght) Row 1 (Front): S Lombardo. J.

RAIDERSCOPE The newspaper, in any school, plays an integral part in relaying past accomplishments, current events and up coming ones. The Raiderscope serves not simply as an informative medium, but in addition, it provides valuable journalistic experience and practice in literary expression for those individuals aspiring to future careers in creative writing, journalism and news broadcasting. We would like to take the chance to thank the Raiderscope staff for sharing with us its literary knowhow in an attempt to expand the student body’s minds to newer horizons.
