In the shadow of the present sports teams lies the backdrop of education in teams like the Whiz Kids or the Chess Club among the others. The Whiz Kids members were mostly students of the Humanizies!World Literature class. Students would prepare questions on various topics, which ranged from the Seven Ancient Wonders of the World to the Beatles and from Julius Caesar to Beverly Hill-Billies. The students presented the questions on every Tuesday. Tournaments were held on the first Saturday of every month and shown on cable four times a week during the middle of February. The top players were John Wall, John Schleeter, Rhett Woo, Craig Lancaster, and Jonathan Marshall , said Brian Denham fseniorl. Chess Club had meetings every Wednesday morning, at 7:15, in room 211. They met to practice their skills at chess and discuss new tactics. Chess Club, this year has been pretty good. We have a lot of sophmores and juniors, and there are only one or two seniors graduating this year. We have some new chess players tryin to learn, while the experienced chess players teach them new techniques. Without a lot of concentration, strategy, and thinking ahead, the game becomes more of a joke than a game , said Benny Asiatico Quniorj. 162 Design by Brandi Owens. 5 i, I assi? we. Nl. i . .

Importance of the class only goes as far as the students will allow it. Many students use the 'obs they work at through this class as a basis for tlie future. After graduation I wanted to be a secretary and the program gave me the experience and the job I needed, said hari Pose Cseniorb. tudents learn such valuable skills as tiling, ten-key calculation, t ewriters, word processors, and roper telephone tecligiques. All of these skills are tauglit and practiced during classtime and are put to valuable use on the iob. Various jobs are obtained through the programg wor ing at customer services, secretaries for insurance companies, and hospital secretaries are only a few positions these students hold. The sponsor of the class is Mrs. Candace Peel. Working close with the students she helps to place them in a job suitable for them and their interests. Even after a student has obtained a 'ob, Mrs. Peel stays in close contact with the student and employer. It keeps me in contact with the business world, said Mrs. Peel.
