This year's Chess Club was unfortunate in losing their long-time advisor and mentor, Mr. Robert Brinker. He was the founder of the club here at Kiski, and guided it for many years, arranging matches with other schools and helping the players to improve their skill at the game. Club membership had remained generally stable for many years, but this year there was a great upsurge in interest in this ancient game, due in most part to the much publicized Fisher-Spassky World Championship match. The club's new advisor, Mr. Porsche, arranged a match with the Kiski Area Chess Team on March 17, which our Kiski team won easily. Wins on the varsity level were recorded by Brungo, Floro, and Seal, with team captain Triana playing the first position to a draw. This was an excellent showing for the team, as this was their first match of the season, and Kiski Area had gone previously undefeated. 130

DEBATE TEAM g First Row: Walter Laird, Jeff Green, Frank Byrne, Rod Frank, John Fleck. Second Row: Bob Good, Tim Wenham, Randy Calloway, Tom Puskar, Tom Wehe. Marty Caplan. Debate entered its second year at Kiski with Frank Byrne as captain. ln debates at Uniontown High School, Bethany College, and at home, the squad compiled an overall record of sixteen wins and nineteen losses. For a relatively inexperienced team-five are Sophomores-this is an excellent record. ln speech contests, a new event this year, ranks of first, eighteen, second, twelve, and third, nine, were attained at tournaments hosted by Kiski, West Mifflin North High School, and Penn-Trafford High School. Fiandy Callaway, Rod Frank, and Walt Laird are new to debate. They joined verterans Bob Good, Tim Wenham, John Fleck, and Jeff Green. Added to this roster for speech contests are Marty Caplan, John Knox, Tom Puskar, and Tom Wehe. Credit points from the National Forensic League, the speaking honor fraternity, were earned enabling most of the squad to become members of the NFL. The excellent relationship between Kiski's debaters and those of the Ellis School continued this year with a workshop in the Winter Term and a social day in the Spring. Team members look forward to possible state competition in Radio Announcing and to the invitational debate tournament at Valley Forge Military Academy which traditionally ends the season. 132
