mathematics problems.

were Jackie Lewis, Samantha Dunmire, Brian McLellan, Mandy
Ferguson, Jeffrey Meyers, Kimberly Klask, Dan Lithio, Martha Precup,

Another team mathematics
competition, the Lower Michigan Mathematics Competition, will take
place in early April, when teams from schools in Lower Michigan will
vie for the rights to the coveted Klein bottle trophy above (shown
in the first floor VWF display case, where we hope it will reside
next year!).
