Howard, the genitive neutral plural of bonus is bonorum. . . .

I go to a gifted school, so I don't see why there's nobody interested besides 4 freshman (myself and friends of mine, basically) and a sophomore. Does anyone know of any good tactics to get people intere...

Out of curiosity, what school do you go to?
