Strategy was important in win- ning SICA competitions. The chess team had a re- building year with the return of the sponsor, Mr. Carl Lomar, and a primarily new team. I anticipate that after this build- ing year we should have a good team, stated Mr. Lo- mar, sponsor. Scott LaBadie played first board and was captain of the team. The hardest thing about being tirst board was that I was expected to win in any situation, no matter how much I was losing by, stated Scott. ln a match against Thron- wood, Scott was down by two pieces and had only one chance to pull the game out to get at least a draw. ln the last five minutes of the game my coach told me that I had to win the game or we would lose the match. I took a chance and luckily with everybody watch- ing me play, including the coaches, he fell for it and we won by the match by one point, said Scott. With re-building accom- plished the team worked to a 3-4 SICA finish. 'NN Top: Trying to move up to a higher board, Darrick Green, concentrates on every move.

Areas function smoothly with help helve those books! Splice those films! Re- turn those projectors! These were just some of the commands heard by the AV and libarary aides. The main job of the libarary aides was to straighten up the unused books the other stu- dents left on the library tables. Each Library aide shelved be- tween 75-1OO books a week on an average. l shelved 250 books the week before the se- mester ended. l was having nightmares about the Dewey Decimal System for weeks, stated Peggy Moreland, sen- 108 AV!Library ior. Being covered in paint or having marker covered hands happened if one was an AV aide and had to make a poster for a school event. ln addition to delivering and returning equipment, aides learned how to mend films. One of the hardest jobs was splicing broken films. Only one person has ever been able to splice a film right on the first try, stated Lynn Golab, a four-year veteran of AV. These two groups of aides were needed to help keep their areas running smoothly.

Original writings fill 2 literary editions ould anyone like to buy a Talisman? This question was heard twice a year in English classes - once in the fall, once in the spring, after many hours of editing, designing, and col- lating by members of the Ta- lisman staff. A literary magazine contain- ing poems, short stories, and photos, the Talisman re- ceived submissions from any student. After evaluating all contributions, staff members made the final selection and put the books together.

Funds went to- ward the publication of the Talisman, which was com- pletely printed in school. The fundraisers helped to lower the cost of printing the Talisman booklet, said Eleanor Nie- mann, staff member. Displaying more creativity from students, Thornridge was the only school in Illinois that could boast that its staff pro- duced two literary editions. AQUA., 3 1 sv : A if 'sit- if is int, . its
