Our Math Team, coached by Mr. James Miers and Mr. Arthur Martin had a successful season, finishing sec- ond in its group. The five-member team took part in a series of competi- tions with other schools in the inter- county league. During a meet, each member was given several problems to solve, each within a specified amount of time. Competitors with correct an- swers were rewarded with one point, thus allowing competition among schools. Led by Dan Spiro and Victor Wickerhauser and supported by many strong players, the team hoped to send some of its members to a region- al competition against the cream of the crop from Pennsylvania, New Jer- sey, and New York. li D.

Our motto is 'We serve', said President lVlari Clayton, and the Key- ette Club did just that. We took handicapped children from Christ Child Church Center rollar skating every Friday, visited nursing homes, helped school functions and much more. Our two biggest achievements were winning third place for our Homecoming float Women of Ameri- ca 1776-l976 and the raising of al- most one thousand dollars for Project Concern through their Walk for Nlan- kind. In lVlarch, we took part in an international convention held in Wash- ington, D.C. Keyettes was hard work, but it was also a very enjoyable expe- rience.

Our lt's Academic Team enjoyed a successful year competing against stiff competition from other schools in the Maryland and Virginia area. The team, composed of Captain Victor Wicker- hauser, Dan Spiro and James Nlann exhibited great speed and accuracy in answering questions given by Master of Ceremonies lVIac McGarry. The It's Academic competition is a single elimination contest in which eighty-one teams compete, three per match, leading to a final. A meet is then held between the winner of the final and the number one team from Baltimore. lt's Academic owes much to its sponsor lVlr. Frank Collins, who set up practice matches against other schools. All teams involved felt that it was helpful practice which en- abled them to get a feel of the compe- tition before each match. I Below: This team has confidence. We ace our first match!
