Miscellaneous

• Star Wars Thermos:  Jack Neelis

Club Moderator, Mr. Patrick McClain said, “I am so proud of all of the members of Mu Alpha Theta here at Brother Martin High School.  Everyone did a fantastic job.  Even the students that didn’t specifically win an award had a really fun time, and they helped keep our energy level high throughout the entire weekend.  Although we are losing many key Mathletes to college next year, I think we are going to have a very strong team for the 2016-2017 school year.  Again, I cannot stress enough how proud I am of all the guys who came home with a trophy or a ribbon.”

Senior James Blake believes, “Mu Alpha Theta is my favorite club at Brother Martin.  Math is more fun than English.”

Senior and MA0 Rookie, Jack Neelis, adds, “I feel like I got to go home with the best prize of anyone.  My classmates who won a trophy or a ribbon get to go home and put that in their Mu Alpha Theta Trophy Case.  But, a Star Wars Thermos?  That’s something I can treasure for the rest of my life.  I am definitely ready for college now!”
