DHS Chess club hosts April state tournament The Deming High School Chess Club team has improved tremendously this year, because of Mr. Holgum ' s effort. The interest has also grown: we have increased membership from 6 to 14 players, said Mrs. McCiung. The Chess Club met everday at noon in Mrs. McClung ' s room to work on their moves and practice playing against each other. They also practiced on Tuesday and Thursday nights at the Public Library. In the Deming Invitational, Deming placed 5th, and in the Las Cruces tour- nament they placed 4th. Deming came in 3rd in the Hatch tournament, and in District, held in Las Cruces, Deming placed 3rd. The players for district were Mark Harrison, 1st board; Craig Harrison, 2nd board; Eddie McClung, 3rd board; Billy Boomhower, 4th board; Derrick Miller, 5th board; and Joe Martinez, 6th board. Deming hosted the State tourna- ment, but did not participate. They served supper for the teams the night before the tournament and the day of the tournament they provided refresh- ments. All of the players worked very hard for a successful year, said Craig Harri- son. We would like to thank the Chess Club sponsors, Albert Holguin and Edna McClung, for their time and effort they put in, club officers said. The ' 80- ' 81 Chess Club officers were Craig Harrison, president; Edide McClung, vice-president; Allan Poor, secretary; and Billy Boomhower, trea- surer. 1.
