GILLIGAN Post Correspondent A second place finish for Dal- las High School in the regional level of the Junior Engineering Technical Society (JETS) compe- tition held at Penn State Univer- sity in Lehman in February was not the end of their achieve- ments. The eight-member team was recently notified that their work that day placed them sixth in the nation for their division. The JETS TEAMS competi- tions are Tests of Engineering Aptitude, Mathematics and Sci- ence. The students have 90 min- utes to complete each of the two series of tests. This year the 10 tests in Part I included topics like Satellite in Orbit, Drag Rac- ing Agent, Nuclear Fission, Coastal Hazard Mitigation, Weld- ing Operation and Spin Ejection Mechanism. “The team has to quickly de- cide who is going to work on each test,” said Len Matysczak, Dallas High School Physics teacher and team moderator for the past 16 years. “Then, they work on the last two sections af- ter they finish their own. They are always pressed for time and they work right to the bell.” This year Dallas tied with MMI Preparatory School for first place with their scores on Part I at the regional competition. The pre- arranged tiebreaker was deter- mined by the best scores on sev- eral particular questions and MMI was awarded the trophy. Part II is another 90-minute test involving more in-depth problems from five of the Part I topics. Again, the students quickly divide the problems and work together to finish all of the tests. “They are allowed to take re- sources in with them and all of the information they need is in- cluded, but they need to work very quickly,” said Matysczak. “We look for students who are good problem solvers and are also quick on their feet.” Len Matysczak JETS team moderator “We look for students who are good problem solvers and are also quick on their feet.” The JETS team at Dallas High- School is selected in November from students who have or are currently taking Physics and Ad- vanced Placement Physics. They meet once a week during the school’s flex periods and study old tests. “We only have about 25 minutes so I give them part of a test to work on one week and then we go over it the next week. They work on it together because they need to work as a team,” said Matysczak. The TEAMS competition is a national program designed to in- troduce students to an “engi- neering team” work environ- ment. There were 1,587 teams in. this year’s competition divided into 10 divisions. Divisions are broken down into open admis- sions schools, like Dallas, and selective schools, which have certain academic requirements, like MMI. They are then divided according to number of students in the graduating class. Dallas High School's team placed sixth in open admissions schools with 101-250 12th grade students. This year’s students who have received certificates of accom- plishment and plaques for their achievements were: Stephanie Yeung, Michael Yenason, Peter Van Loon, Michael Swartwood, Spencer Piontkowski, Jonathon Morgan, Adam Morgan, and John Gilligan. History (continued from page 1) Jim Welch, a junior at Dallas and a three-time History Day participant, nominated Storz for the honor. “She taught me that I have a love of history and she actively encouraged me while holding me accountable,” said Jim who, although he did not place at states this year, did compete at the national level last year. “She is unique be- cause she runs our History Day program as a club and she gets actively involved by coming to our houses to check on our pro- jects,” he said.
