Although these are all sure fire signs of a celebrity there are other foolproof methods to determine whether or not there are celebrities among us. Did she sometimes appear at school with the initials WK printed on her sweatshirt? Did he strangely disappear each Tuesday afternoon? Did she seem to be a veritable fountain of informative trivia and seldom asked questions? If so, he was not only a celebrit but also a member of Whiz Kidls. The Whiz Kids were an elite Y group of students that scanned their brains each Tuesday afternoon in an attempt to outsmart the competition. Thanks to Katie Eklund, Susan Alexander, Charlene York, and Chris Brown our teams did just that the majority of the time. Beginning with their first match at Dallas Baptist College, in hich they defeated Clark High School 325-145, the Whiz Kids were climbing the ladder to success. The second match of the season pitted our team against Boswell and was televised on Channel 83 thus began the stardom. Many scrimmages followed, out of which the team won all but two, being defeated both times by Southwest. Added to the list of credits was the Richland tournament, in which they topped all six opponents and swept the meet on our home turf. Perhaps calling the Whiz Kids celebrities is exaggerating a bit. Perhaps calling the Whiz Kids celebrities is exaggerating a lot.
