The first annual Lakeland mathematics field day was held on Saturday at Wawasee High School. It was sponsored by the Wawasee math department under the leadership of Mike Neff, department head. It was open to all eighth grade students enrolled in algebra at Milford, North Webster and Syracuse. All students were entered in the first contest, the 50 problem challenge. It was a review of all the concepts taught in first year algebra. The' contest lasted one hour and at its end the students chose one of three specialized contests to enter. Steve Eastman, North Webster, won the 50 problem challenge with Brian Neff, Syracuse, finishing second and Dawn Speicher, Milford, placing third. Eastman answered all but nine of the problems correctly. The three specialized contests were story problems, tandem relay and rapid transit. Dawn Speicher, Milford, won the storv

A scenario of Chris Chalfant, fifth grace student at North Webster Elementary'School, was submitted through he “Up Up and Away” Gifted and Talented Program in the Lakeland Community Schools program. Chalfant tied for fifth place in the state contest, and his scenario has been entered in the national competition through the Indiana Future Problem Solving Program. He will be recognized during the awards banquet on Saturday, April 20, at Indiana UniversityPurdue University, Indianapolis, following the Indiana Future Problem Solving Bowl. The scenario follows: World Nuclear Plant After the World Nuclear Freeze Treaty of 1988,1, Chris Chalfant, had a new life. Today, March 28, 1990, I was on a Heliport C-l, an airborn airport I designed. I was flying to Denmark because I was picked to be one of the scientists for the NEP (Nuclear Efficiency Project). I was at Denmark in six hours and driving to the NEP site. The place was super and I was getting to know it. Two years later we still didn’t have an idea on nuclear energy. Now I had found an idea in a dream. I dreamed that I was riding a mini-sub to a large underwater city. When I got there I saw six huge nuclear reactors. There were also large robots guarding a small control room. In the dream I slipped a small personnel card into a robot guard, then I woke up from the dream. I rushed to the design room and in ten minutes I had jotted down a blueprint of an almost fully automated nuclear power plant that had robot guards. I could barely sleep because of the excitement of wanting to show my fellow scientists. The next morning I showed the blueprints to the scientists of the world. Each one phoned the

Wawasee FFA team competes

The Wawasee High School FFA (Future Fanners of America) judging teams have competed in several judging events recently. Both the livestock and dairy judging teams have been in competition. In dairy judging, the team has competed in the Wabash Invitational and the County Contest. At Wabash, the team of Rich Karst, Jake Kizer and Mike Clark placed ninth. Another Wawasee team comprised of Tim Troup, Jeff Stookey and Brian Richcreek placed 12th. Wawasee placed third in close competition at the County Contest. Rich Karst, who placed fourth in individual competition, and Tim Troup, who placed fifth, led the local team. As a result of their high individual placings, both Karst and Troup have advanced to the area contest to be held in Porter County later in April. Other Wawasee FFA members competing in the County Dairy contest were Mike Clark, Brian Richcreek and Jeff Stookey. Wawasee has also competed in two livestock judging contests, the Wabash Invitational and the Wabash County contest. Competing in the invitational were Kent Nulf, Jon Haab and Randy Beer. Wawasee teams placed fourth and sixth in the county contest. The fourth place team was led by

world leaders and they approved it! The Nuclear Power Plant would take ten years to build. It was to be built underwater. The only way to reach it would be by sub. Only authorized people would be allowed in. There would be an impregnable glass-steel bubble (the latest impregnable glass) five feet thick. The robot guards would have laser rifles and would be programmed to shoot and kill anyone without a personnel card. There would be three fision reactors and three fusion reactors so that three could fee on the others waste. Fifty men would be required: fortyfive for maintenance and five men to run the control booth. After ten years everyone in the world had energy from the nuclear power, and there are electric cars that fit tracks like toy racetracks of the ’Bo’s that I have designed. I’ve won the Nobel Prize for the Heliport C-l, the WNP (World Nuclear Plant), and the electric cars. I believe these inventions have helped the world. My neighbors say I’ll go down in history. I wonder about that, as I sit here trying to balance my checkbook! Grandparent's Week at Syracuse School The week beginning on Monday, April 29, will be Syracuse’s annual Grandparent’s Week. During the week, grandparent’s are invited to visit classes, eat lunch with their grandchild, view the Art Festival, and visit the Book Fair. A special bulletin will be published for grandparent. It will contain information concerning the activities.
