Taking a casual break from her studies is Kate Rushforth. It is not often that these devoted students find time for socialization, but when they do. it ' s all smiles and well-deserved fun! OCAD Kiwanis Bowl Teams perform mind by Rosehe Vasquez % % A nd now, we have our re- turning champions from Saddleback High School competing for the ti- tle of number one team in the country. And over her, their newest challengers. The Kiwanis Bowl is a game of quick thinking and fast talking. The person who ultimately answers the ques- tion and wins a point for his team must rely on his hand reflexes. Before answering a mindboggling question, the competitor must press his buzzer before his opponents reach theirs. Mr. Bunch, advisor of the Kiwanis Bowl, spent a great deal of time drilling his stu- dents with facts and figures. I try to instill upon stu- dents a winning attitude to- wards academics; teaching games them to take pride in being intelligent, while at the same time having fun. The three OCAD teams: Freshman, Sophomore, and Jr. Sr., each consisting of two A, two B, and two C level students, prepare for an en- tire year, and are often given mock contests of skill to become accustomed to the pressure of the genuine competition. In the annual decathalon students compete in ten categories which include presenting a speech and re- ceiving an interview in which they are judged in poise and academic excellence. There is no way of foretell- ing precisely which ques- tions will be asked, and advi- sor, Mrs. Palmer, can only coach the students on an ar- ray of subjects which are likely to be explored during the competition, y ft Kiwanis Bowl — Row 1: L Nguyen.
