School has just begun and it’s your move. What will you do? You feel like a pawn in the hands of the kings and the queens of the faculty. As you go through the year, it seems to be just a game with too many confusing rules. So until you get used to the pace, you just follow your adversary’s move. You start off slowly, making small mistakes, but you soon recover and improve your position. As time passes, you gain confidence and advance toward a chance for promo- tion. Problems and setbacks attack you like enemy pieces but are gradually over- come by, your combined talents, resembling an efficient grouping of powerful pieces. Later you are occupied by the dangers and intricacies of the game. You are perplexed by the lack of restrictions and the possible ways of movement. You realize that once you have made a move you cannot go back, and because of that you pause to consider the different alternatives. Then you hurry along your chosen route, realizing that if you delay too long, your opportunity may be lost. So you think ahead and plan for the future, preparing yourself for any un- foreseen events. You combine your talents and slowly press toward your goals. You accelerate your progress through many advancements and checks until you reach the final goal——Checkmate! Now all is ended and can be brought back only through reminiscences. We hope that you will be able to relive every move and event leading up to the end of the year in this, the 1968 Buzzer. i | Z zZ alt | | , . é £ Wea”

His contributions to B.H.S. have included organizing the Golf team and the Fellowship of Christian Athle tes.

Each year many firms in the local business community employ students from Mr. McKenna’s L.C.T. program. His former students occupy positions of skill and importance in business and industry in the Lynchburg area. In his eleven years at Brookville, Mr. McKenna has been a dedicated teacher, a winning coach, and a faithful advisor to anyone who came to him.
