State competition was initiated on an Open Event level only for the boys starting in the fall of 1953, with North Fulton capturing team honors for the first of two straight years. The Open Event classification continued through 1964, as Druid Hills claimed consecutive team titles in 1957 and 1958 to lead the way among local entrants. A new format was instituted in 1965, featuring two divisions. That field was then expanded to three divisions starting in 1967 and running through the 1969 campaign. DeKalb County realized two more championships in this period, as Tucker topped the Division II field in 1965 and Lakeside began a string of nearly a decade of domination by capturing the Division I top prize in 1969. The Georgia High School Association finally officially sanctioned cross country as a state championship sport in 1970, and DeKalb County immediately flexed its muscles in that first season. Lakeside’s boys won the first of four state Class AAA crowns over a six -year period that fall, while Shamrock also outlasted the field to snare top honors on the AA level. Local schools soared to two more state championships two years later in 1972, with Lakeside again sitting at the top of the AAA field and Lithonia grabbing the top prize in a combined A and B classification draw. Walker was runner -up to Lakeside in the AAA battle in 1972, as all -star senior Ricky Watson won the second of his two consecutive individual state trophies. Longtime head coach Eddie Roberts would go on to guide Lakeside to two more AAA titles in 1973 and 1975, with only Dunwoody preventing a four -peat while taking the top AAA finish in 1974. Tony Dipaola and Mark Thompson served as two of many individual driving forces during this period of Viking domination in the early 1970s. Several new faces began popping up on the state championship trophy list starting in 1977, as Avondale, behind two -time winner Chase Van Valkenburg , walked away with its lone top prize as the AA boy’s winner that fall. Towers joined Lakeside, Lithonia, Dunwoody and Avondale on the state title list by finishing at the top of the AAA draw for the first and only time in 1980. The most dominating local state run of all, however, began in the fall of 1981, with Gordon snaring the AAA crown for the first of what would eventually prove to be five consecutive years through the 1985 campaign. Chamblee, meanwhile, became DeKalb County’s seventh boy’s state champion in 1986, walking away with the AAA title while ending Gordon’s rule at five years. Gordon’s James Flack , Chamblee’s Chad Newton and Lakeside’s Scott Griffith ranked among many other indi- vidual standouts during that period in helping their respective teams push for state honors. Lakeside nearly returned to the top of the state field for the first time in 25 years in 2000, finishing only two points behind Collins Hill in a brilliant runner -up showing in the AAAAA race. All -world junior Joe Thorne , however, did leave little doubt on the individual side, easily storming to the line first in a blistering time of 15:40.35. Thorne repeated as state champion in 2001, winning in an equally sizzling 15:49. Southwest DeKalb senior Phillip Burks captured the 2005 AAAA boy’s battle in the splendid time of 16:21, while senior Nabil Hamid of Druid Hills grabbed the AAA title in 2008 in 15:50 and junior Leonel Ayala of Cross Keys snared the AA crown in 2009 in 16:22 and 2010 in 16:18. Clarkston added to the team championship list with three straight victorious efforts in AAAAA in 2014, 2015 and 2016, while Lakeside junior Davis Stockwell captured the boys AAAAAA individual state crown in 16:34 in 2014. The Georgia High School Association first officially sanctioned the girls state meet in 1975, with North Cobb (AAA, AA) and Berry Academy (A, B) snaring the top team prizes in that initial battle. Peachtree gave DeKalb County its first girl’s state title in the fall of 1979, outlasting a loaded field to capture top honors on the AAAA level. Chamblee joined the championship parade two years later, racing to the head of the pack in snaring the AAA team prize in 1981. Gordon and Dunwoody produced DeKalb County’s fourth and fifth girl’s state title with victorious efforts in the AAA race in 1982 and AAAAA battle in 2012 respectively. Dunwoody netted two more crowns in AAAAA in

  • Title: the Distribution of an Illustrated Timeline Wall Chart and Teacher's Guide of 20Fh Century Physics
    REPORT NSF GRANT #PHY-98143318 Title: The Distribution of an Illustrated Timeline Wall Chart and Teacher’s Guide of 20fhCentury Physics DOE Patent Clearance Granted December 26,2000 Principal Investigator, Brian Schwartz, The American Physical Society 1 Physics Ellipse College Park, MD 20740 301-209-3223 [email protected] BACKGROUND The American Physi a1 Society s part of its centennial celebration in March of 1999 decided to develop a timeline wall chart on the history of 20thcentury physics. This resulted in eleven consecutive posters, which when mounted side by side, create a %foot mural. The timeline exhibits and describes the millstones of physics in images and words. The timeline functions as a chronology, a work of art, a permanent open textbook, and a gigantic photo album covering a hundred years in the life of the community of physicists and the existence of the American Physical Society . Each of the eleven posters begins with a brief essay that places a major scientific achievement of the decade in its historical context. Large portraits of the essays’ subjects include youthful photographs of Marie Curie, Albert Einstein, and Richard Feynman among others, to help put a face on science. Below the essays, a total of over 130 individual discoveries and inventions, explained in dated text boxes with accompanying images, form the backbone of the timeline. For ease of comprehension, this wealth of material is organized into five color- coded story lines the stretch horizontally across the hundred years of the 20th century. The five story lines are: Cosmic Scale, relate the story of astrophysics and cosmology; Human Scale, refers to the physics of the more familiar distances from the global to the microscopic; Atomic Scale, focuses on the submicroscopic This report was prepared as an account of work sponsored by an agency of the United States Government.

Stephen Green EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS James Jackson Basketball Coordinator Dr. Tekshia Ward -Smith ATHLETIC SPECIALIST Chris Chilton ATHLETIC SPECIALIST Mark Brock 2 DEKALB COUNTY’S LONG HISTORY OF STATE CHAMPIONS DeKalb County’s proud basketball history began and continues with a championship pedigree. The Clarkston boys brought home the first state trophy in 1940, and 41 other teams have since realized the big prize in the ensuing 76 years. From legendary coach Elmer Morrow ’s dominating boys teams at Druid Hills in the 1950s to the current boys powerhouses at Miller Grove and Columbia, the list of win- ners is an impressive one. Druid Hills knocked off Avondale (50 -44), Tifton (47 -44) and Jeff Davis (55 -42) in state finals in 1953, 1954 and 1957 respectively. Stone Mountain and Clarkston on the boys side, and Druid Hills and Stone Mountain among the girls served as the other early local powers. E.L. Rainey , another of DeKalb County’s original hoop coaching giants, led Stone Mountain to the Class B crown in 1957. Tom Church guided Clarkston to its second boys state championship with a victo- rious effort in the class B final in 1964. The girls matched the boys for the first time at Druid Hill in 1960, with Virginia Canady coaching that squad to the Class AAA title.
