The formal objective was written as, ―Students extend their knowledge of the skeletal system to biomedical engineering design, specifically the concept of artificial limbs and joints. Students relate the skeleton as a structural system, focusing on the leg as structural necessity. They learn about the design con- siderations involved in the creation of artificial limbs, including materials and sensors.‖ Students were placed in groups and given the task to create a prosthetic device to use to play table tennis. Each group had to create two devices – one for each arm. The player had to be able to serve and hit the ball. store designed to meet the needs of the BHS student body and staff. Students submitted a business plan to principal Dr. Hamil- ton, who happily accepted the plan at the end of January giving the students a ―thumbs up‖ for the store to open. #warrior_shack is located just off the cafeteria and sells school supplies featuring a commemorative 100th anniversary school t-shirt. Way to Go, Business Warriors!!! Camille Harrah, Anna Smith, & Makenna Luzier This was a great STEM unit, which included various activities in each curriculum area. Students learned about the human body and bones in PE and science. The PE teacher taught the stu- dents the correct way to play and explained the history and rules of the game. The PTA was also involved in this project – by pur- chasing our school a table and paddles. ―When we first started the lesson, our students did not have many experiences with seeing people or knowing people with prosthetics.

The purpose of the draft is to assign amateur baseball players to major league teams. The draft order is determined based on the previous season's standings, with the team possessing the worst record receiving the first pick. Eligible amateur players include graduated high school players who have not attended college, any junior or community college players, and players at four-year colleges and universities three years after first enrolling or after their 21st birthdays (whichever occurs first). From 1966-1986, a January draft was held in addition to the June draft targeting high school players who graduated in the winter, junior college players, and players who had dropped out of four-year colleges and universities. To date, there have been 1,170 Maryland players selected in the First-Year Player Drafts either from a Maryland High School (337), Maryland College (458), Non-Maryland College (357), or a Maryland amateur baseball club (18). The most Maryland selections in a year was in 1970 (38) followed by 1984 (37) and 1983 (36). The first Maryland selection was Jim Spencer from Andover High School with the 11th overall selection in the inaugural 1965 June draft.
