The Super Quiz is a series of questions on an unrevealed topic. :ich ' Decathlon Team Shows No Mercy Decathlon 84-85 was a year of excellence in which the team consisting of Jeff Brown, Marc Reissig, Shawn Duzich, Russ Wolf, John Paul LaBouff and Keith Lifshin devoted six months, including three months over summer, to prepare for THE DAY, November 17, 1984. ln these six months, each member was required to read Great Expectations, Megatrends and millions of periodicals, and to know six major subjects: social science, science, math, economics, grammar and literature, and fine arts. In ad- dition to this, the team had to develop and prepare their skills in writing, interview and speech. To keep all of this organized, Tom- my Kim and Jennifer Caughlin were there to manage meetings or lectures given by various teachers who could help in one of the six areas mentioned above, to keep track of deadlines, and to encourage the team whenever they were beginning to feel the pressure. But manager Tommy Kim said, This year's team wasn't all work, work, work. This year's team knew how to have fun along the way! SINE GENITILIBUS NULLS VICTORIA EST!
