Senior David Cook was the treasurer of the Chess Club. David learned to play chess in Germany and said he joined the team because it's a challenge and I'cl like to improve. Ruben Alvira, also a senior, was president of the Chess Team. He liked the fact that we're not always serious. We can enjoy ourselves and still play, he commented. Miss Debbie Formo had been the chess coach six out of her nine years of teaching at S.R. She explained that, compared to previous years this team, on the whole, is much better. They take chess seriously for the most part. She added that since there were no scholar- ships or awards for chess, most of the members played for fun. When asked what she enjoyed most about the team, she replied, I just enjoy working with them. I have a good time competing and playing chess with them all. David and Ruben agreed that Miss Formo was a valuable part of the team. Ruben added, She is more personal. She's our friend and her personality lets her understand our feelings. Club meetings were conducted by the twelve members. They met after school at least two days a week and usually par- ticipated in one tournament a month, between October and March. At the tournaments, the Varsity competed in five boards which usually lasted three to five hours. Miss Formo commented that the Chess Team's goal was to be top in state.
