Leo Strives to Make School, Community Better Place Within the past two years the Leo Club has strived to make the community and school a better place in which to live and work. Participating in projects to aid the blind and other handicapped people, the Leo Club has made life happier for people who are often overlooked. This year the Leo Club participated in the Flag Day cele- bration, the Easter Seals Campaign, collected eye glasses for those who are unable to buy them, helped in sending a Rebe- laire to Europe, and bought a central suggestion box for the use of the student body. They sold candy and brooms also, to help their sponsor, the Western Gateway Lions Club, in their elTort to help the blind. Karen Alexander, Leo Club president, was very pleased with its progress this year. She believes that if given a chance, the Leo Club will expand and be able to help the school and community more next year. Phil and Buddy help Jonita paint boxes for Leo Club's drive to collect eye glasses for underprivileged.

To start off the year, Shah Mat conducted classes on some of the more popular openings and defenses used in the game of chess. A library of chess books was compiled for those members wishing to advance studies of the game on their own time. In the course of the first district toumament of the year, Shah Mat entered two teams, captured first and second team trophies and also took the top eight individual honors. This win qualified Shah Mat as district champions of Escambia County. Some of the other high schools competing were Catholic High, Woodham High, Pensacola High, Pensacola Academy of Arts and Sciences, and Pensacola Christian. Shah Mat also received trophies for performances in the Atlanta Southeastem Conference, Jacksonville State Cham- pionship in Miami, and the National High School Chess Championship in Chicago this year. 107
