CHESS CLUB expands minds Chess Club, headed by Mr. Lic- itra, gained many new members this year, largely underclassmen. Pres- ident, Randy Buckner, and vice president, Matt Shodell, helped to take the club through the three levels of competition: (unior Var- sity, Varsity, and Interscholastic. In- terscholastic is the only level which plays against other schools and this year it played ten matches against sixteen different schools. Both Var- sity and Jupior Varsity levels play against their fellow team members. In an effort to raise money for var- ious chess paraphernalia (chess pieces, chess boards, chess clocks and trophies) which are awarded to the winner of the Junior Varsity and Varsity teams, the Chess Club held two successful bake sales.

Call Away phone calls from drunk students. The calls averaged five each night, and since the program was insti- tuted, there have been no drunk driving accidents involving stu- dents in Port Washington. Many of the expenses for SAFERIDES were paid in part by the candygram sale and the car wash which proved to be lucrative. One hundred students participated in the program. (above) SAFERIDES members Adam Richman, Lucie Lawrence. CeeCee Murphy, and Dave Weintraub carry the infamous barf buckets. (left) Caitlin Welles helps yet another student arrive home safely.

INTERNATIONAL CLUB bridging the gap The newly formed International Club is designed to de- velop a better understanding between people from different cultures and countries to benefit the residents of Port Washington and students of Schreiber. Activities included special international nights for specific countries. “Istanball” was held in December, Yugoslav and Chilean nights in the spring. The International Festival was held in February. Another objective of the club was to increase the pres- ence of multinational materials at Schreiber such as a videotape and book about the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Turkish exhibit donated to the school by local Turk- ish-American residents. The Club was also involved in International exchanges. Yoshinori Furuno set up the first exchange with a high school in Japan. Letters as well as school newspapers were exchanged. The students in the club, both foreign and American born, had fun and learned different perspectives and customs at the same time.
