Math Team Mr. Nicholas Ambrosiano, Math Club advisor, uses graph to illustrate a concept. Roger La Rose, Jim Larsen and Mark Spelman carefully check completed problem to make sure it is correct. Under the guidance of Mr. Nicholas Ambrosiano, a number of North Babylon's astute mathema- ticians have been brought together to form the nucleus of the Math Team. The students belonging to the Math Team compete in interscholastic meets in which points are given for the number of problems correctly solved by each school in a limited amount of time. North Babylon has performed remarkably well in competitions of this type, and will assuredly con- tinue to do so in future years. L-R: J. DeI.uca,. S. Vardon, E. Shanks, D. Peters, J. Stein, E.
