A long with the athletic teams at Clark, the chess team had a successful season. Finishing their second season under the guidance of Coach Thomas Bartling, the squad played well the entire year. Although they were a young group, their strong finishes in tournament play laid the foundation for many successful seasons to come. Led by junior Kevin Martinez and senior Doug Nelson, the club won many inter-school matches and came in second at the Golden West Rcgionals in California.

Lettermen preserve TRADITION Receiving a letter in a varsity sport made an athlete eligible for membership in the Lcttermen's Club. Although female athletes were eligible, none chose to join. The group increased its activities this year with antics including dressing up in togas as part of initiation and participating in assemblies. Mr. John Nelson, the club’s new advisor, also sought to establish the sense of honor traditionally associated with membership in this type of group. In a flashback to the 1950’s, members purchased letter sweaters. Officers. Top: Donny Mayhall. Nate Williams. Bottom: Chris Carlin. Mr. John Nelson (advisor). Dale Akridgc. Lcttermen's Club.
