Chess Club This year's Chess Team made several good movesg capturing honors in many of their tournaments. Under the direction of Mr. Cortez, the team spent their after school hours polishing skills and sharp- ening their attacks. Chess stressed individual competition. However, team functioning formed an important part in the development and training of each member. By pitting them- selves against one another in practice games, new insights were achieved. The chess team competed in regional, divisional, and state tournaments as well as special invitational tournaments held in various locations around the state. Members of the chess team checked op- position well enough to achieve a second place victory at the Phoenix invitational and fourth place at the Tucson invitational. Mr. Cortez expressed great hope for the teams future success as all the members were freshmen and sophomores and would be returning in the fall. 159, UPPER RIGHT, The Chess club and their trophies.

Student Government Canyon del Oro has always had a student council, but not until this year has it functioned as was originally intended. Meeting as a class every day has enabled the members to communicate ideas and suggestions concerning school affairs more effectively. Supervised by Mr. Ritchie, there are five representatives from each class plus the student body president and vice president. As an organization, they have sponsored various activities to involve as many students as possible. For example, during Spirit Week at the assembly and lunchtimes, there was competition between the classes so that each could prove their spirit. The Student Faculty Administration Board is comprised of twelve members, six adults and six students. Their purpose is to review old school policies or consider and recommend new ones. This year they have been very aware of various problems, and therefore quite successful in their attempts to change them. .viii ' k A 4 2 ,issril t A - 'QE tif lit aft -f V .. , X 'fafiax Page 158, UPPER RIGHT, Student members Rick Mathes and Nancy Tobin LOWER LEFT: Dean of Students John Ritchie doubles as student government advisor, LOWER RIGHT, Rick Mathes looks on as Mark Viar goes over the last meeting minutes.
