Students exercise democrotic process in protesting Less than four score years ago - actually only fourteen -the Hillsborough BPI brought forth this school. The history of Robinson and the study of history and other social studies began then. This year discussions of current issues, roleplaying, impromptu speeches and debates were all part of the social studies classes. While world and American history classes were studying the French and American Revolutions, Nlr. Heuberger's advanced PAD students staged a mock revolution to protest the lack of democratic process in making the class assignments. lVlr. Heuberger emerged triumphant, but that was expectedg after all, he seized Field Marshal Rom- mel's underwear in WW ll. ?.........::...-.-., Kelly Drake and Larry Symmonds joke over Flommel's longjohns as Debbie Fowler and Cheryl Stotz wait to ask Mr. Heuberger how he got them. 144 I Social Studies David Klein and Katy Dent protest Mr. Heuberger's assignments.

Future 'Fishers' compete for fun The Fisher-Spassky tourna- ment seemed to be the spark for enlarged membership and greater Chess Club enthus- iasm and success. Members paid 50 cents dues to replace the worn boards and buy new time clocks. Saturdays provided the chance for sophomores to join seniors in practice. Team for team, Knights remained undefeated in matches with Leto, Hillsboro and Plant, but lost a tourna- ment to the Panthers. With the more accurate everyone vs. everyone play- offs, members were able to get precise ability rating and valuable experience. Q' ,Y 3 f AF Some people don't learn chess until they join.

Inter-Relations: Students ottoin bi-rociol respect Promoting good relations between blacks and whites was the main goal of the Inter- Relations Club. The members discussed racial problems and possible solutions to the difficulties that arose during the school year. The club's main service project was a newspaper drive that lasted from the beginning of school until the middle of February. Members deposited the papers at USF. They gave the profits from the project to the library to buy a new set of encyclopedias. With sponsor Mrs. Dennis and president Terry Cejka coordinating their efforts, the nearly twenty members solved problems in personal relationships by improving attitudes toward each race. Mrs. Dennis helps students in learning to peace it together. Q Q l Bottom Row: Pres. Terry Cejka, Mrs. Lorraine Dennis, Vice Pres. Cassandra Allen, Suzan Williamson.
