 LCULATING SUCCESS The Math Club is a group of stu- dents that have a special interest in math, and its practical values. The purpose of the Math Club is to allow interested students the op- portunity to rccicvc more from their education, and especially from their math courses. Math Club members arc given an excel- lent chance to improve their skills in math simply by being members of the club. Math club meetings arc held once a month, and they arc at lunch. At meetings, either a guest speaker comes to talk with the Math Club or the group prepares for an upcoming math contest. The guest speakers usually talk about math related professions. When the Math Club meets to discuss future math contests, often they run the Atlantic-Pacific math tests. It is a short test, in which a team score is computed and compared with other schools in the region. The Coronado High School Math Club was ranked third in the Tcxas-Oklahoma area. Miss Patricia Lopez is the spon- sor of the Math Club, and Carl Scglcm is the president. The main fund-raiser this year was a re- freshments sale at the Coronado Speech and Drama Tournament this fall. The funds gained by the selling of refreshments went back into the Math Club. The math club works jointly with the UIL Math League to send students to local competitions. Coronado students usually fair well at the local math tourna- ments. The Math Club is a vital group at Coronado that helps to promote excellence in the math department. E. Hornsten FRONT ROW: Julie Gclfond, Cathy Beasley, Pamela Fisher.

CHECK-MAT At meetings, Chess Club mem- bers practice and perfect their game which requires great amounts of concentration. Chess is a challenging game that is won through experience, skill, and concentration. The function of the Chess Club is to allow interested students the opportunity to prac- tice and play chess. The Chess Club members all enjoy the opportu- nity to practice and perfect thicr games. Tournaments in which Chess Club members participate take place once a month. These tourna- ments arc held at Lydia Patterson school in south El Paso. Students participating spend their whole Saturday competing and playing chess. Coronado students placed well, taking many individual tro- phies at each tournament. The Coronado Chess Club also took three team trophies in the first four tournaments. The Chess Club fund-raisers include a carwash, and selling blow-pops. This year, the money raised will be used to send some of the top players to the national tournament in Albuquerque. This is the first year that Coronado stu- dents have had the opportunity to attend this tournament, and it was made possible this year by its near location. This tournament will allow some of the clubs best play- ers to compete against some of the nations top players. The national tournament is in April. The Coronado Chess Club is a group of very talented chess play- ers. They all enjoy the very chalcnging game of chess. The sponsor of the Chess Club is Rudy Griswold.
