Students Refine Difficult Skills Many things lake hours of practice to master Playing a musical instrument or refining the different skills of skiing and chess. Physically and mentally, both take time to master. Ski Club The graceful motions of a skier glid- ing down a mountain are not unlike the progre.ssions of music within a sym- phony. Before the first flakes of snow settled upon the slopes, the Ski Club be- gan planning for the season. In October, Ski Club members at- tended a ski show at the Los Angeles Convention Center. In December, the highlight was a four-day ski trip to Utah. Also, one-day outings to local re- sorts comprised the remainder of the season. Chess Club A typical Buena Park chess game, not unlike an intermezzo, lasts from three to five minutes. This short period of time is very exciting as is an inter- mezzo in the music world. The Chess Club was one of the most active clubs on campus. Room 92, home of the Chess Club, was opened before school, at break, and at lunch. Anyone interested was welcomed to come by to play, watch or learn the game. The chess team consisted of three freshmen, two seniors, and placed first in regular league play. The team was also expected to place high in the league finals. 16

■I Distcnit Melodies Brighten Campus Experiencitifi: melodies of dtlur lands throughout the year were the Lan- Kuajje and Meeha Clubs. The Lan ' , ' uage Club consisted of membors who speak Spanish, P ' rench nr German. The clul) held many activilies related to foreijrn lands. During November the gniup at- tended an Escargot Day at Irvine High School. The day included many diffei-ent seminars in all three lan- guages. Cooking, singing, dancing and foreign games were the subjects of the classes. It was a day of new experiences and learning alxnit various interests of people in different parts of the world. The finale of the event was a snail race. At the end of the year, the Language Club was to hold a banquet to honor the students who learned the most about their chosen language. The Mecha Club is for Mexican- American students. This year, the Mecha Club planned to attend differ- ent functions that apply to Mexican- American culture. In Hollywood the club attended the play Zoot Suit which gives the history of how Mexi- can-American styles came about. Among their plans this year, most im- portant was to hlep underprivileged families by collecting food and clothing for them. Mrs. Nancy Pearce, Mecha advisor, set a goal to strive for which was to create activities on campus for the club to get involved in.
