THE WINNING EDGE In the spring of ’86, John C. Calhoun Academy hosted their third annual Academic Bowl sponsored by the P.T.O. Twenty schools participated. Each teach- er from the different schools were asked to submit twenty-five ques- tions. These questions covered such subjects as English, math, Science, history, and current events. One student from each grade was selected to compete in the bowl. Being able to partici- pant was a special privilege and honor. The representatives from John C. were Matthew Addison, Madison Farrell, Bud Williams, Kevin Beach, and Melody Pearce. As well as an Academic Bowl, John C. also had an excellent Ac- ademic Team. During September, they participated in the Winthrop Challenge. They competed against two schools, defeating one, but disappointingly losing to the other. Under the guidance of Mrs. Betty Linder and Mrs. Mimi Werntz, these students had a very successful year. The Academic Team consisted of four seniors, Madison Farrell, Gene Simmons, Robbie Hogan, and Brian Strick- land. Isn't this an outstanding picture! John C.
