Coach Tate went on to say that besides the increase in total members, the number of girls involved on the team served as a plus for Kentridge, excellence-wise. Other factors also contributed to the success of the chess club. Junior Randy Grant stated, Our perserveronce through all the turmoils proved to make the team close and united. He later added, So close, in fact, we even fit into Mr. Tate's Honda. In January, Chess Club started their first tournaments, the team held practices twice a week to prepare for those meets.

YN' wr' -J We Do Need Education This year's debate topic resolving the federal government should establish minimum educational standards for elementary and secondary schools in the U.S. was a difficult one. Regardless, the debate team did an exceptionally good job both as a whole and individually. When asked how well they did, junior Donna Mooney answered, ln the prophetic words of Bob Horlick, our coach and leader, We'd be opening up a whole new can of worms if we told youjust how good our team was. The team went to three overnight competitions. One to Western Washington University, and the other two to Gonzaga and Lower Columbia. Everyone enjoyed the trips immensely. Lyanda Houpt, also a junior, added, ln light of ramification of everything that came down the pike, the team really showed alot of depth, something like a glass of milk that is half full. In closing, the senior debating team of Lyanda and Donna also expressed that their goal was, To make sure this year was notjust another brick in the wall. M. Vance ig. 1 1 ,fly Ok V, 1.5 sep .
