Chess Team James Peak, the captain of Seneca's Chess Team, looked on as a member of the team carefully placed his king in front of his opponent's bishop. The boy smiled triumphantly and said '4Checkmatel as he quickly cleared the board. This was Thursday and just one of the practice games the team plays at their regular sessions after school. Yes, this was a practice game-the real test would be playing against other schools in Jefferson County. With the help and sponsorship of Mr. Raymond, they show everyone that Seneca is not only tops in sports, but in brains, too. l82 Future Homemakers of America The aroma permeated the school. It was the smell of freshly cooked peaches, sugar, and other ingredients that went in to the making of peach preserves. These jars, filled to the brim with the delectable golden mass, would soon be the high- light of a breakfast for many of Seneca's teach- ers. The Future Homemakers of America have been busy over hot stoves all day stirring up this delight. With the sponsorship of Mrs. Har- din these girls have been learning the art of homemaking.

SENIOR HIGH if ' 1 C iii 1 6 JUNIOR HIGH As I entered the of- fice, I heard the pound- ing of the typewriter, the humming of the mimeo- graph machine, the ring- ing of the telephone, and the tap, tap of the hust- , ling heel caps. Yes, these are the sounds heard as the office aides busily ' attend to the many Q chores of the office. These girls devote their study halls to running errands, delivering ab- - sence sheets, and doing the little odds and ends necessary in the effi- cient office. Girls, you do a superb job and merit the highest praise! TV OFFICE The TV office aides are a group of students that give up their study halls to help out in the TV office. The TV office is the headquarters of the TV teachers. Among the many chores per- formed by the aides are the grading of science, English, history, and math papers, assembling of lesson plans for the TV teachers, and run- ning numerous errands. The TV office aides add that little spark which - makes the TV office a well-run and organized place of business. I8I

Library Club 49 ...I The members of the Library Club, who give up their study halls in order to work in the library, are on the job before school, after school, all six periods of the day, five days a week. Besides doing the jobs such as checking books in and out, or shelving them, they perform many more duties 'Lbehind the lines . In this past year they processed and put on the shelves 325,525.25 worth of books. These books had to be catalogued by author, title, and subject and recorded with all other pertinent facts noted in several files. They had to be stamped, have pockets pasted in them, be lettered as to call number, sprayed to pre- serve them, and innumerable other steps performed before they were ready to be alphabetized and put on the shelves. Yet, if hard-working they are, oldsfashioned and dowdy they're not. They follow modern parliamentary procedure by electing a president, this year's being the capable Barbara Gregory, and have had a winner, Terry Schneider, in the Calendar Contest two years running. Much is owed to two other winners, Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Wilmore, who together with their student mem- bers have made this club the success it is. The Art Club, sponsored by Mr. Raymond and led this past year by its president Barbara Cunningham, has done much to brighten and enliven Seneca halls. The bulletin board in the front hall, which exhibited cartoons, profiles, still lifes, and scenic drawings, was so good that one could see students studying it at almost any time of day. The members also began an eight by twelve mosaic which will be presented to the Large Cafeteria on completion. The materials for this mosaic mural were collected on field trips during which sketching was also done. Other field trips were made to galleries in the city for observations and discussions. lt's hoped that in the future they will also be able to have a guest critic come to comment on their work. I83
