The I983 Math Bowl team spent many hard hours working math problems even on Sunday afternoons The team captured the school s seventh consecutive state title. The team also outscored all other schools in their AA division by 290 points and topped the AAA schools by 84 points. Stratford of Macon was the top AAA school. The Math Bowl competition was held at Georgia Southwestern College in Americus on February 4th. ln addition to team honors, Gerald Ordoyne received a medal for highest individual score on the written exam and has received this award for the second time, while Gay Garrett received the second highest individ- ual score. The team members agree that all this could not have been done without the dedication and leader- ship of Mrs. Kay Barnes. State Science Bowl was also held at Georgia South- western College on November 22 in Americus. Five students made up the Flint River team that took a ninty- five question multiple choice test. Besides testing at the Science Bowl, the students and teachers got to attend laboratory workshops of their own choice. This gave the students an insight into college science classes and gave advisors ideas for using in their class- rooms. At the end of the day awards were given and Flint River placed second in the AA division, with Jim Battenhouse as the high scorer for Flint River two years in a row. The average score of the Flint River team exceeded the average score of the other schools. I. Jim Battenhouse. Doug Hoffman.
