Dick and Shea Metcalf. They competed in the intermediate division which consisted of 94 teams of 7th. Sth and 9th graders. These students are coached by their teacher. Connie Bailey. There is a senior division also. Only the top 10 teams in each division are invited to compete for the State FPS title. Dawn Speicher and Jeff Carrillo were members of a FPS team that went to the State and National FPS Bowls last year Although the state FPS Bowl was a rigorous experience, with tight scheduling, they are very enthused about competing again. During the State FPS Bowl, students will spend two hours solving a problem dealing with nuclear waste. Students wall not know the exact problem until they start the process. Following this, they will have two hours to prepare a five minute skit that will convince the audience to ac-
cept their best solution. After lunch, students in each division perform their skits. They then have a choice of activities: swimming. tennis or a movie. Award ceremonies complete the day and are given to the three highest scoring teams in the problem solving and the three highest scoring teams in the skit presentations. The number one problem solving team in each division goes on to the national level. The FPS program could be described as a kind of mental Olympics. Teams of four students are challenged by practice problems typical of real life problems they may encounter. The 1983-84 problems dealt with electronics games, prisons and lasers A six-step approach is used to solve the problems with emphasis on creative and higher level thinking skills.
