Math Team Flushing High School's math teams are composed of the top juniors and seniors in the field of mathematics. The purpose of the teams is to pro- vide interested students with an in- tellectual challenge. Both Senior and junior math teams have approximately fifteen official members, however, only eight to thirteen members are present at meets. Although the junior team is paired with john Bowne High School and the Senior team with Francis Lewis and Bayside High Schools, the math teams do not compete with other schools. Individual students, howev- er, do compete on a city-wide basis. At math team meetings, Mr. Ed- win Cohen, advisor, explained, members approach sample compe- tition problems and try to extend areas of mathematical knowledge. In competition, the Senior team receives questions dealing with any mathematical branch except calcu- lus, while the juniors' areas of com- petition include geometry, interme- diate algebra, and trigonometry. Bio-Medical The Bio-Medical Society is a club where students with an interest in medicine and related health fields are able to learn more about their interests. This year the Bio-Medical Society provided such activities as tours of local hospitals and nursing homes, and lectures by guest speak- ers on topics ranging from epidemo- logy to acupuncture. As a result of these activities, the members of the Bio-Medical Society were able to have a fuller understanding of their interests. The Bio-Medical Society provides a medium for new science programs to reach FHS students from other science organizations around the city. ' This year's officers were Emily Miao, President, Violet Chew, Vice- President, and Randy Dong Treasur- er.

Secretarial Honor Society 5 IL-Rl Miss Alberta Kanya, loyce Greenberg, Kathy Amedeo, Amy Baumgarten, Debra Hunt, Geor- gia Bookas. Sophomores, juniors and seniors worked together this year to write the S.O. Newsletter. Our purpose was to report information that is im- portant to the students, stated San- dra Duarte, secretary of the Student Organization and coordinator of the Newsletter. We write about school activities and anything else that con- cerns the students. The Newsletter regularly reported on the Student Organization, SING, the Executive Internship program, the Student Life Center, school teams and numerous clubs. The staff also wrote articles dealing with problems outside of school. Two such stories explained how to avoid buying an inferior stereo system and how to earn money by writing arti- cles for commercial magazines. ln spite of a slow start and many problems, the staff managed to pub- lish several issues this year. At first many articles were misplaced or not submitted, but a committee was formed to organize the work and a new format was adopted to improve the Newsletter's appearance. The staff was supervised by Mr. Ronald Zanni. The Secretarial Honor Society is a group whose achievements in short- hand, typewriting, and stenography places them in demand in the busi- ness world. The members often gain employment after graduation as sec- retaries and typists. The girls in the honor society must achieve 90 per cent grades in shorthandftyping or clerical practiceftyping in one term and have an overall average of 80 per cent in all subjects with no failures. This year there were 27 students in the Secretarial Honor Society. Q S
