matics competition. "I like
the fame and prestige of com-
peting and I try to get in-
volved in as much competi-
tion as possible," says
Chupak.
Accepted at the Massachu-
setts Institute of 'Technology,
Chupak will be attending the
University of Michigan in the
fall, studying engineering.
Debate is another field of
competition for Chupak
which he plans to continue in
college. "Argumentation is
what I really like," adds
Chupak. "I've got to work at
debate and I really enjoy
that."
Strong involvement in out-
side interests goes hand in
hand with wht super achiev-
ing student. Getting top
grades is not enough.
Daniel Bree, who will be at-
tending Brown University,
plans "to experiment with
classes and see what turns
me off." He has always had a
strong interest in drama. Last
summer he studied theater at
the National High School In-
stitute at Northwestern
University, in a program
which incorporated directing
with choreography and set
building. In the fall, at An-
dover, he and a friend founded
an experimental theater club
completely run by students.
Dan participated in foren-
sics the past two years, had
his own radio show on the
school's station, played in the
band for two years, and each
day assisted severely retarded
students from Wing Lake
School during their class in
Andover's pool.
"Tennis has been a good
balance for me with my
schoolwork," says Missy
Castleman, who will be atten-
ding Harvard in the fall, ma-
joring in humanities. "It is a
good way to let out pent-up,
energy and laugh and get ex-
ercise all at the same time."
Missy, co-captain of Country
Day's tennis team, has played
varsity tennis for four years
and ranked second in the
Southeastern Michigan Ten-
nis Association. She is also co-
editor of her high school year-
book, won several creative
writing awards and has tu-
tored at the Judson Center, a
home for abused women and
children.
Nathan White decided the
University of Michigan was
the school for him after see-
ing the U-M Debate Institute.
He has been a varsity debater
for four years, a member of
Lathrup's marching band,
president of the National
Honor Society and a three-
year member of the S-L
wrestling team. O

Fourteen high school
juniors and seniors from
across the country took two
months off earlier this year to
study in Israel, earning full
credit. The youngsters were
part of USY High — a high
school experience sponsored
by the United Synagogues of
America department of youth
activities.
The program, held in con-
junction with the Alexander
Muss High School in Israel,
combined study and travel,
enabling students not simply
to study Israeli history but to
experience it through fre-
quent field trips to actual
historical sites. Students were
also able to study English,
math, science, and history —
with courses tailored to in-
dividual needs — and they
received full academic credit
for their work.
Included in the program
were days reserved for com-
munity service, "free"
weekends and many special
events. Participants also
spent time at Israel's only
Conservative kibbutz,
Hanaton, located in the
Galilee.
Plans are already under-
way for the next USY High
session. Those interested in
learning more about this pro-
gram should contact the
Youth Activities Department,
United Synagogue of
America, 155 Fifth Ave., New
York, NY 10010, (212)
