 MTking waves Twice a month a group of very determined students meet and dis- cuss the formation of a Coronado radio station. These students can otherwise be recognized as the radio club. Determination is what it takes to be a part of the radio club because of the time and effort it takes to reach their goal. “It’s hard to the morale up of all the members at this time because of the diffi- culty of getting a governmental approval for a radio station li- cense,” said president Tori Young. There’s a lot of inside work and paperwork to obtain an FCC license and it requires the efforts and co- operation of all the members. Many hours arc spent working on the forms and applications. All this work takes individual atten- tion. “sometimes we wonder if it will ever come together in the end,” Answered Edwardo Castillo when asked if he thought it was worth the effort. “It is a good club for sophomores who have all three years to get on the air,” said radio club sweetheart Julie Gclfond. This years main goal was the location and set up of the radio an- tenna. After successfully acquir- ing the advice of radio engineer from local radio stations, the members were one step closer to the accomplishment of this enormous endeavor. This couldn’t have been done without the per- sistence and dedication of spon- sors like Mr. Griswald, Mr. Man- gold, and Mr.Desmond who have supported this effort as much as the students. Each member of the radio club awaits anxiously the day when they can turn on the radio and hear their fellow classmates. C.

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. The president of the Chess Club is Jeff Golden, who is also one of the top players. How- ever, all the members of the Chess Club arc good players who enjoy the game of chess.

MAKING THE GRA The first characteristic you no- tice about the club FTA(Future Teachers of America) is that it con- sists of thirteen members, all of whom arc senior girls. For this rea- son, some members arc concerned about the club’s continuity. “It’s a good club and more people should get involved, said Caroline Manton. The club accomplishes a lot, “Be- cause everyone knows each other, we can work belter. We’re all friends,” said FTA sweetheart Terri Freiberger. In the past, FTA members helped organize the individual pictures and that helped earn some money FTA Sweetheart Terri Freiberger smiles for the camera. for the club. This year’s main goal was to start a teacher of the month project. Chairperson Terri Freiberger planned to draw names of teachers from each de- partment and place their pictures in the display ease. Along with always being available for CHS teachers, the members also make cookies, cakes and other goodies during the various holiday sea- sons. That can really be fun be- cause the teachers appreciate our doing that for them,” Lisa Freib- erger said when asked if she en- joyed helping the teachers. FTA members also do their share of community work. They want to help correct any flaws the community may have. “We write letters to Governor Clements about the new restrictions placed on teachers,” said Judy Paccy. None of the members plan on going into the teaching profes- sion, but all the girls agree that sponsors Mrs. Schcttlcr and Mrs. Helm ling have given them a bet- ter understanding of the work involved in teaching.
