Once again Mrs. Coatney coached her squad towards a suc- cessful season. This year the High-Q members have displayed a “re- markable amount of team effort. Each mem- ber is required to have so many hours of prac- tice each week in order to participate in the meets. In fact each member will agree that this time was time spent wisely in many different ways. Through the years the Hi-Q members have maintained a variety of activities. This year the team used computer disks to practice on, the questions on the disks were similar to those which would arise in the meets. To make things easier the team invested in a buzzer system which determined who answered the question first. The buzzer was useful in practice as well as the meet. This year the Hi-Q team competed in eight meets, which is all the state allows. Most com- petition is done with schools of the same size. However, the Linwood Hi-Q team competed with schools of all sizes. One of the more inter- esting meets was spon- sored by Washburn was televised by WIBW T.V. 13. Mrs. Coatney com- mented, They have done well. I look for- ward to a good season. David Hiatt, John Burns, Keith Kaufman, LeAnn Turner, Rachel Coatney, Vicki McKinney, Mrs. Coatney and David Shawley are using the computer disks to practice for the Hi-Q tournament at Valley Falls.
