Games, Old and New “Our current balance is what? exclaimed Spanish Club sponsor. Mrs. Bonnie Cavender. The Spanish Club started off the year on the right foot by building the treasury to a level it had never reached before. Members earned several hundred dollars in the fall by participating in the school-wide magazine sale. Bake sales provided additional revenue. All of this money was used to finance such activities as a trip to a musical comedy, dinner for senior members at Chi-Chi’s, and participation in the city-wide Foreign Language Fair. The club also sponsored a young girl in Guatemala. Mr. Robert MacTaggart, another teacher in the foreign language department, also sponsored a popular club. He brought the European sport of Petanque and made it the main subject of the Chess Backgammon Petanque Club. Although the group was a new one, it was a successful year. Some members had trouble deciding which of the interesting games to play. The Bridge Club came back to activity period after two to three year absence. Mr. James Tate, sponsor, taught members of the club the angles of bridge play, and the students had great fun during exciting games. A new organization was the Puppets Club. The club was sponsored by Miss Trudy Horton, youth director at First Baptist Church. Although the group was small, it drew many imaginative students. Frank Goldsmith stated, “We have a good club for people who are creative and we hope to grow larger next year. Bridge Club left to right: Scott Long. Grier Stotlar. Kim Mitchell.

Latin and Learning From Ceaser to soothsayers, the Latin Club had a busy year. Sponsored by Ms. Marie Ikenberry, it gave students an opportunity to extend their classroom work to an added dimension during activity period. In the spring the club took part in the city-wide foreign language fair by running a soothsayer tent and telling everyone’s fortunes. The National Honor Society helped to improve fortunes by offering students free tutoring before exams. With the aid of sponsors Ms. Anna Koontz and Mrs. Fran Alwood. members offered to help other students prepare for mid-terms and finals. Mrs. Alwood also offered her advice to the newly-formed Careers Club, which unlike the Honor Society, met during activity period. They explored the outlook and possibilities for many occupations. Meanwhile, the stage provided a source of preoccupation for the Thespian Club. Members investigated all aspects of the field from voice projection to make-up techniques to actually appearing before the footlights. Murder Near the LaRue Morge was presented in early January.

There’s Still Hope: 4-12 A new coach and a new team characterized the year for the varsity basketball team. With the resignation of Coach Jerry Allen, Mr. Mac Carroll took over the job of coaching the squad. Coach Carroll formerly coached the junior varsity basketball team, and his success with the team made the varsity season look promising. The basketball team, like the football team, spent the year recovering from a two year slump in victories. However, the first taste of success came in the opening game with an unexpected win over Sussex-Central. Other wins came against Smithfield and Forest Glen. One of the most exciting games was the home game against number one, Franklin. The game went into overtime with the score tied at 70 points each. Although the Raiders lost by three points, that game showed just what the team was capable of — winning! Kenny Shields looks hopefully for an opening at the goal to make that all important shot. Players, fans, and Coach Mac Carroll look on intently as the Forest Glen Rangers try to out-score the Raiders. The Red Raiders listen breathlessly as Coach Mac Carroll gives them some Outnumbered two to one. Major Ruffin struggled to gain control of a loose ball, advice during a time-out period. 30 SPORTS CLUBS
