Whoever was
in science department in High school should remember the Periodic Table just as
Paris Gray, a high school senior in Georgia, certainly can. However, her

area superintendent who elected to lift the suspension and allow her to participate.
As for her
mother’s opinion of the joke? ‘My first reaction was, you are such a nerd
