The Princeton High Chess team, sponsored by Mr. Tom Runyon, turned in a favorable worksheet by defeating county rival, Bluefield, 12-0 and 9' 2- 2V2, and Peterstown 10-2, while losing only to Northfork by a slim 7-5 margin. Although all team members practiced faithfully and contributed to team accomplishments, special recognition goes to team captains Phillip Wright and Mike Pen- carinha. These two dedicated seniors devoted three years to chess and defeated nearly all of their opponents in match play. The Chess team also held a special inter-squad tournament to provide competition and practice for all mem- bers. David Turpin surrenders his king to an Adidas. 21
