U2-.rr E Riding The Waves A halfpipe for spring end summer fun kept skate- boerders busy. Each meeting held was full of plans for new places to skate, and watching video's to get some insights on the pro's end their techniques. After learning from the pro's. they're off and riding at the Delinduient Ditch behind lVl.J. C. west campus. to try out their new and old tricks. .Jeff Rinheiro was this years president and founder of the club. .Jeff is also one of the premire riders along with .Justin Forbes, and Chris Little. It takes years of practice to obtain good balance, and a variety of tricks. The equipment a rider uses is very important. lvlost riders use a laminated board, around 'l C x SC , good trucks for sharp turns, and fast ure- thane wheels with precision bearings. .Jeff Rinehiro sums up the attitude most riders have. A skater dcesn't really care where he skates as long as he can skate. In a skaters mind there are no limits. Q 1.

Cre- ated by club president lVliKe Cppenheim, the club con- sisted of 'l C boys and E girls, a total of twelve mem- bers in all. The club met regularly on the second and fourth Wednesday of every month, at which time members were taught chess maneuvers which would increase their skill and vvhere members also played against one another in a chess match. Guided by lVlr. Walker, the club's advisor, the students involved not only learned different procedures in capturing their opponents pieces, they also learned to think in a clear and logical manner, something that is required of any good chess player. 75?
