Math Con Be Fun Competing once a month in the North library, Mathletes was a ufor fun math contest. Teams of up to two or three peo- ple from all the district high schools came once a month for the meets. The meets consisted of 15 questions, each worth a specified point value and time limit. Using only pencils, paper, and their brains, the teams had to come up with the correct answer within the time limit. The Mathletes' sponsor, math department chairwoman Miss Gertrude Welch, urged all in- terested students to join, and all who participated agreed that it was a fun chance to work on their math skills.

Cafegories Offers Intellectual Competition Intellectual competition is the basis for Categories, which offers students a chance to use their in- telligence in a sport quite different from other sports. Questions covering all topics are asked the students., and their answers are judged on the basis of speed and knowledge. Categories meets were held every three weeks, and were broadcast on cable television. North held a record of 2-4, which Coach Leonard Gercken felt would have been improved if some members hadn't had other com- mittments, causing them to miss a few practices. 1 2 24 Categories Page 24.
