Issue 12: Week of January 20, 2005

Random Comment of the Week (excuse not to do your homework):

I have a solar powered calculator and it was cloudy.

Hope everyone had a nice 3-day weekend! The Clements Tournament on Saturday, January 29, 2005 is coming up and everyone should sign-up now!!! Also, the Rice Tournament is on Saturday, February 26, 2005, so sign up for that too since the deadline is on Friday, January 21, 2005! Either sign-up with one of the officers or return the sign-up sheets with money at one of the meetings or to Ms. Ryman.

The weekly meeting will be on Thursday, January 20, 2005 in the usual place in Ms. Ghosh's room (S263). We will be signing up/paying for the Clements Tournament and the Rice tournament, as well as doing some type of practice. If you have not picked up your t-shirts, come get them from Ms. Ryman's room (207). Pink bunny and Black hippo shirts are still available if anyone would like to buy a shirt!

Fill in the sign-up forms below and return them to the officers or Ms. Ryman ASAP! Please tell us if you can go to the overnight St. Marks Tournament (February 5, 2005) by the meeting on Thursday! We need 20 more people to say they can go before we can go on it!
