Chess Team’s Hard To Beat Since its re-formation a year ago, the chess team has been one of the most successful competitive organizations in our school. This year, the team was undefeated during the regular season, leading the Twin Cities High School Chess League. The strength of the team was reflected in the Minnesota Junior Championships, an individual tournament held in December. In that tourney, sophomores William Harrison, Tom Burke, and Paul Rejto finished second, third, and fourth, respectively. Other members of the team were junior Andy Unger, who played first board, freshman Nate Teske. and sophomore Andre Delattre. Team meetings were held once a week at the home of the coach, Geoff Wyatt, in the Chateau building. Regular season matches were held at North High School. With no seniors and only one junior on the club, the chess team could continue as a powerhouse for a few years to come. Photo number one: Paul Rejto. Photo number two: Nate Teske.

Expanding Parent Puzzle The Parent Puzzle, or Southeast Parenting Center, is a program centered at M-U whose objective is to help parents feel competent and effective in raising their children and to help M-U students to develop realistic expectations of parenthood. The program is funded by the Department of Vocational Education and the Minneapolis Public School system. The Parent Puzzle offers activities for: parents of children 0-18 years of age: children 0-10 years of age; and students in child development classes at M-U. This year, the Parent Puzzle received a grant from the Council on Quality Education which allowed it to add new services and staff to the existing program. Parenting classes were made available at neighborhood centers in addition to at M-U: the toy and book center was expanded to include a referral service for Southeast families: and the high school child development component at M-U was also expanded. The new program was designed last summer after concerned community members met to discuss th needs of area parents with young children. Photo number one: Mary Gross. Photo number two: Nancy Morris.

New Director For Band Choir Football games, basketball games, and other sports events had a different feeling this year. Unlike the previous year, the M-U band attended some games, and pep. fests adding more spirit to the occasion. Despite M-U’s loss at Homecoming, our band kept their end up. playing the school song and other marches with the same vigor. 30 Band Choir Because M-U choir didn’t have an instructor until a few weeks into the trimester, it got off to a slow start. The new teacher. Bob Groene, is a U of M graduate. He began his career in private lessons for various instruments. However, he put much emphasis on vocal studies in his education and should help the Choir alot. In their efforts, the Choir and Band collaborated for their first concert November 28. which had a fairly good turnout. Band: J. Ausland, H. Barte, S. Ber- geron. T. Bergman, B. Burns. D.
