Once we ordered pizza to be delivered during class. I forget why. There was probably no good reason. Mr. Bartkovich was a good sport about it, though. And, our next exam was titled "Calculus with Toppings!" There might have been a problem concerning the area of a pizza, but I may be imagining that.

Our classroom was right next to Dr. Davis' office. Once, during a lull in the class when we were all furrowing our brows over some problem, we heard Dr. Davis' booming voice: "Oh, come on, I didn't get this way just from eating one little doughnut!" We all broke out laughing.

One time Jon Konanc had decided, for whatever reason, to go do his laundry right after class, so he had a large duffel bag of laundry right next to him. He was sitting right next to the door, so Dr. Davis took the chance to come in and razz him a little.

At the very end of the year, the AP exam was over and we were all trying to slack off. Mr. Bartkovich had different ideas: he was delving into differential equations. One day he was doing a problem concerning economics of some kind, if I recall, and the solution was rather complicated. He had filled up 3 blackboards and nobody (including him) could see where it went next. So he went back to his office to get the book with the solution in it. After he left, either Phil Mauskopf or Jaspreet Sandhu (I forget which) said, "He made a mistake somewhere." The other one said, "No, I was keeping up, he did it all right." People started taking sides, and by the time Mr. Bartkovich got back several people had made $1 bets on whether he had messed up. It was a very funny moment when he looked at the book, walked to one of the boards, and erased a bit with one finger: "This should have been a negative sign," and all the money that had been bet changed hands.
