Chess team stays on top of league The Robbinsdale Chess team under the leadership of Dr. H. M. Hummel and junior captain Ronald Kaufman held its own in the fight to stay at the top of the chess league of which they are a member. The crop of players that came out for chess this year looked good and the team looks forward to a successful season next year. Above. Chess Team. R. Kaufmann. M. Bernu. T. Matkovits. B. Zeihl, S.

SAC benefits school SACB ULLLTIN BOARO and community No other group in the school had the opportunity to change and improve the conditions of the student as did the Student Advisory Council. The council served the school and the community in a variety of ways. Under the leadership of Mr. Eugene Friesen, the council members united in the fall to begin their work. They concentrated first on the problems of the community. School services included the issuance of Honor Passes, the initiation of a ticket plan for school events, and the maintenance of Penny-Wednesday”. In the way of community service the group sponsored the blood drive, helped with the voter registration, sponsored a food drive, and organized a jogathon for the athletic fund. Aside from these sizable contributions to the school in general, they added to school spirit with the organization of homecoming festivities, this year including a parade, helped with spring sports week, and worked with Cooper and Armstrong on sportsmanship concerns. This was without a doubt the finest year of the SAC and the student body was very lucky to have such a dedicated group of young men and women working for them. lLSnuwPjys 12.

Radical editor heads Tale staff Heading the staff of The Robin’s Tale, the school newspaper, was the somewhat radical Editor-in-Chief. Steve A. Nelson. Nelson, along with News editor Kathy Starmack, Feature Editor Dan Nortwen, Sports Editor Jim Anderson and Photography Editors Ross Allanson and Ted Berquam, generally found themselves much in demand after the release of each of the eleven issues published throughout the school year, and spent most of their free time wearing dark sunglasses and turned up collars, in flight from various members of the staff. faculty, and student body. Highlights of the 1979-80 Tale volume included the columns, “Archer’s,” by Steve Nelson, and “Question Marks” which was replaced by Jim Anderson’s “Athlete’s Foot” column in November. Improved graphics and consistency made for what proved to be the most outstanding Tale volumes since the mid 1960’s. Above. Robins Tale Staff. Sports Editor Jim Anderson. Feature Editor Dan Nortwen.
