DELBARTON TODAY
In March the Delbarton Model UN Club competed in the Washington Area Model UN Conference held at George Washington University that included over 900 delegates and faculty in a four day event. The boys visited several museums and heard guest speakers from the GW faculty. A few even had an opportunity to visit embassies of the countries they represented. The group did not return home emptyhanded: Brian Jung ’12 won a Verbal Commendation as the Foreign Minister of Ukraine. Model UN moderator Jack Diffley later reported, “Oh, and while he did not win an award Zack Ullman ’13 (playing the role of Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin) did survive an assassination attempt.”

Need investment advice? Consult with the Green Wave Stock Exchange members who won the 2010 Funny Money Contest. Over 60 students participated and moderator Mr. Sean Flanagan reports that each student was allocated $100,000 of ‘funny money’ to invest in any publicly traded company. Students bought and sold in real-time, and action was captured on website designed for mock trading. Kevin Zsitvay ’13 won first place, Jimmy Clark ’11 was second and Matt Molnar ’13 came in third. Two of the winners, Kyle on left, Matt on right, met with Mr. Flanagan for a photo in the Senior Garden, but Jimmy was nowhere in sight. Perhaps we should have checked the NYSE floor where traders would surely benefit from his — and Kevin and Matt’s — expert advice. Congratulations to all three funny money investors who won cash awards collected from the $5 pay-to-play pool.
