awwrwimwse Weird Science They met every mon amid the tubes and chemicals. Perhaps mad from conduct- ing dangerous experiments, they tirelessly presented their hypothesis and computed away their scientific data. The conclusion was undoubtable: The Mauldin Chapter of Ju- nior Academy of Science was in full swing. The club started its MHS branch to promote and to im- prove the quality of scientific and mathematical participa- tion. To do this the club went to conventions and workshops, including a trip to U.S.C. Ai- th Mwwaw Young Minds Learn How about this? jamie Moak and Mrs. Brenda Suddeth discuss a pro- ject idea.

The hope of receiving an award for outstanding work also highlighted each mem- ber's year. The award's ceremony was interesting to attend. There are so many projects and experiments to see, said Scott Strobeck. For some club members, the organization was helpful in deciding on a career. Mike Martin said, The club has reassured me on my decision to become a sport's doctor. I also learned a lot about my decision by being a member of the club. J.A.S. helps students be- come interested in science ca- reers by developing an under- standing of the scientific community through close as- sociation with leaders in the sciences, said Brenda Sud- deth, club sponsor.

Waves Toning IVllnd Skills The Math and academic teams are good ways to sharp- en my mathematical and com- petitive skills. We worked hard, but it always paid off, said Katrina Jacobs, a mem- ber of both teams. The academic team encoun- tered suprising success dur- ing an expected off-year. The team pulled a major upset by defeating Carolina High School and finishing third in the state during national com- petition. Beating Carolina soundly was gratifying, said Mau- reen Pao, captain of the team. The team answered ques- tions dealing with virtually any kind of scholastic trivia. They practiced every Tuesday afternoon and occasionally competed with faculty mem- bers, in which case the aca- demic team always won. The math team shared the same competitive spirit with less success. With a new advisor, the young team participated in competitions at Winthrop College and U.S.C. They held The answer is . . . Maureen Pao an- swered one of the many questions during practice. iPhoto by Jimmy Furukawaj Ready to begin. Mrs. Renee Stubbs prepares the Math Team for a compe- tition. iPhoto by Anita Stevens! B I practices every Tuesday and took part in mail-order competitions in which they mailed tests and scores to places such as California to compete. Mrs. Renee Stubbs, the new advisor, formerly of Carolina High, said The team prac- tices hard and is improving. We have high hopes of win- ning in Charleston. The Charleston competi- tion provided for an opportu- nity to participate on their own level, instead of on a higher one as done before. Kristi Naylor and Stacey Cooper Acachuan 7'eam.91
