our Math Department. The Classical High School Mathletes are a team of the best mathematics students in the school. Under the supervision of Mr. George Andrewes and Mr. Walter Szetela, the team competes with other area high schools in solving difficult math problems. The Math- letes team members are chosen for their accomplish- ments in problem-solving sessions, which are held on Friday during the fourth period. These sessions are held in the same manner as regular Mathletes’ meets; the students are separated into teams of five and then given five formidable problems to solve. The Math- letes team has done fairly well this year, although not as well as in years past, and has always shown good sportsmanship and a desire to do its best. Would-be Mathletes are captured in an exciting mo- ment of a problem-solving ses- sion. James Carabetta, Donna Zerwitz, Cheryl McDowell, Eugene Fisher, Larry Durgin, and Scott Levine observe Mr. Andrews’ “simple solution” to an impossible problem. Mr. Szetela checks the work of Steve Durgin, while Marilyn New- man, Carolyn Whiting, John Chaiken, and James Bennett look on. 21
