Our own Eric Fullgraf (Eric teaches the Language, Truth and Manners and Cambridge Prep Year) will be flying to New York this Wednesday to appear on "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" It will be exciting to see Eric in the seat across from Regis if he can get past that fast finger thing they do at the beginning!

Student news: Scott Phillips is excelling on the Lakeland High School tennis team. Karis Medina just returned from spending three weeks in Spain. Ask Karis about her visits to museums and the Gaudi architecture in Barcelona. Bucky Banks has been participating on the COLA Senior Championship Team (swimming). He recently qualified to compete in the Speedo Southern Sectional Championship Meet. Bucky, a sophomore, swam against high school champions from various states and also against members of many Caribbean Olympic Teams. At COLA's recent award banquet he was nominated for the Outstanding Athlete Award, the Scholar Athlete Award and the Einstein Award. A nationally ranked swimmer won the first award, a senior the second, but Bucky walked home with the Einstein Award (our Miriam Keim, a freshman, also was nominated). Bucky, please accept our enthusiastic congratulations!
