Monthly activity periods also saw chess enthusiasts challenging their opponents in a cloak of deep concen- tration. Basic knowledge of chess strategy was all that was necessary among club members, for the Fischer-Spassky World Chess Tournament provided all the incentive. A series of chess play- offs and tournaments was arranged in an attempt to name the Sumter High Chess Champion. Chess club members found their hour of silent effort rewarding when the word check-mate broke the barrier and won the game. tw.- , llj Laura Goodman, Terry Brand, Kathy Crayton, and Alice Bessinger, four avid Scrabble Club mem- bers, prepare to embark on another word-game adventure. t2j CHESS CLUB - Front Step: Daryl Stowe, Chad Riley, President, Second Step: Bill Love, james Taylor, Ryan Atkinson, Art jeffords, john Day, Eddie Dukes, Marc Schlemmer, Mike Monroe, Rex Moseley, Keith Bates, Third Step: Andrew Swain, Kenny Floyd, Blease McFadden, johnny Lowery, Ronnie Mixon, Gene Schaerr, Tom Cooney, jimmy Smith, Fourth Step: Andrew Swing, Sam Odom, Ricky Blackmon, Donnie Gamble, Larry Hamm, Steve Stephenson, Robert Kellner, Willis Faulling, Fifth Step: Anthony Smalls, Cal- houn Cooper, Leory McLeod, jack jones, jimmy Wilder, Geoffrey Alsbrooks, Don Kelly, Top Step: Edwin Eady, t3j David Stone contemplates his next move. t4j Front Row: Bernard Parham, Witt Whitaker, Ronald Foisey, Warren Brooks, Hugh Ebert, Nancy Taylor, julie Spigner, Fred Crosby, Mike Lane, Tim Riles, Lorenzo McDaniels, Floyd Vaughn, Second Row: Terry Berklecamp, Steven Adams, Ernest Spann, Rodney Gates, Austin China, Cathy Hudson, Lenny Bolder, Ray Neal, Randy Hovatter, Rick Hires, Third Row: Mark Franklin, Steve Hamm, Kevin Williams, Steve Crow, Pat Stafford, Dyke Spencer, Steve Stevens, Ellen Mullis, Steve Hostettler, Fourth Row: Claire Love, Darrell Neal, Darryl johnson, Larry Bryan, Don Barnes, Stan Brown, Lucy Harper, Stanley Griggs, Keith Powell, jeff Maddox, Billy Lachicott, Fifth Row: Mr,Cherry,Adviser, Sam Hunter, Tommy Dabbs, Marion Baker, David Stone, David Stanley, Ike Williams, Lynn Finney, Waltene Vaughn, Randy Bertram, Chip Brewer, jay johnson, Dean Mattison, Robbie Richardson, Danny Stokes.

Sophomore Talents Blossom Painting, drawing, sculpturing, and bottle remodeling kept the creative hands of Art Club members busy throughout the year. The club, along with Miss Smith's art classes, visited the Scholastic Art Award Exhibit in Columbia, and planned their own exhibit of art projects. Knitting needles, embroidery need- les, and crochet hooks clicked at a rapid pace during sessions of the Need- lecraft Club. After the instruction, helpful hints, and advice from adviser, Mrs. Davidson, members of the club proudly attired themselves in the shawls, ponchos, hats, mittens, and vests they had created through their newly-acquired skills. A needlecraft display was set up in the office lobby at Council Street. The Drama Club lit up the dark stage on several occasions as they produced skits for English classes, and plays for the student body. The pride and joy of the amateur dramatists was the pro- duction of Shirley jackson's The Lottery. - ,sf ,,- - Vu.,-gv-vat,-w . . A Y , . az , 1 v. .

Key Clubbers Lend Manpower to Environmental Coalition After spending a week at the National Key Club Convention in Washing- ton, D. C., six Key Clubbers, including President, Charlie Yates, returned with a multitude of new ideas and projects to be tackled by the SHS Key Club. With its main endeavor service to the community, the Key Club found many organizations in desperate need of eager volunteer workers. The Sumter County Environmental Coalition used Key Club manpower to ad- vantage as the 52 members exchanged lazy Saturday mornings for hard work at the Swan Lake trash collection center on Recycling Days. The Drug Abuse Council called upon several members to serve on com- mittees dealing with the misuse of drugs and its effects on youth. Key Club- bers also offered a helping hand to the Sumter Jaycees by selling tickets to the Jaycees Air Show, held at the Sumter Airport. Demonstrating their spirit of charity, members collected about 60 cans of food and a turkey for distribution by the Salvation Army at Christmas. They also gathered magazines for the Community Nursing Home. Throughout the year, the Key Club sponsored parties for members and their dates, and attended several district rallies. The SHS Key Club was the only club to sport a female sponsor, Miss Diedre Tufflemire. 3? W it 126 Organizations
