Mike Polinsky (back, left) speaks Pittsburghese: "Hey yunz guys! This is Mike Polinsky, aka Policus around here! (Kinda like a one-namer like Pythagoras!) This year I am a senior at Mt. Lebanon High School and just about ready for anything this year. I just spent the summer at Carnegie Mellon University in a program called Andrew's Leap...pretty exciting stuff about artificial intelligence and robots and great problem solving activities. I plan to attend MIT, Cornell, or CMU next year. I am a part of the Mt. Lebanon academic games team and am looking forward to a good year and some wins at the national tournament in Georgia in the spring. Recently I was part of a team of high school students from Mt. Lebanon that won a regional Calc-U-Solve Contest! We came in first out of 29 high schools and 140+ students!One last thing: GO MARIO! GO STIHLERS! LET'S GO PENS! See yunz guys 'roun' an dat!"

Ben Brown (front) is going to be a famous pianist some day. His computer programs in BASIC and C and now Pascal are like musical works. Another academic games team member, Ben helped Mt. Lebanon win part of the talent contest at academic games nationals in Georgia two years ago. Now a big bad senior, Ben will be the expert on Linguishtik!!! Ben says he does not like to play the card game known as MAGIC (yeah, right sure!). He loves cheese and macaroni. Ben is pretty good at math...he placed in the AHSME math contest the past two years. Ben plans to attend Cornell or Carnegie Mellon University next year (but he has to finish his computer science homeowrk first!) CONGRATULATIONS TO BEN! He was recently accepted to Carnegie Mellon University!

Samantha Lee (back, middle) is a senior at Mt. Lebanon High School and loves to play tennis, dance, and hike! You can find Sam (as we affectionately call her) chatting on the Mt. Lebanon BBS regularly (more like all the time!!...Sam is a great talker!) If you like coffee, pop tarts and KIX (a cereal), you and Samantha have at least three things in common. Sam can speak a little Spanish and Chinese (maybe we should get hooked up with a team from Spain, Mexico, or China and let Sam show her stuff!). Samantha will be getting a driver's license soon, so everyone in the Pittsburgh area....BEWARE!!!!!!

Robb Williamson (back, right) is a "two-b" sort of guy. Figure that one out if you can. Ask him. Robb is an avid downhill skiier and computer guru.
