C4 O ' .- t A odfrey knighted into top 20 Queening a pawn, checkmate, and stalemate are just a few of the competitive phrases echoing in room B-230 after school - home of Thornwood's Chess Club. The Chess Club, sponsored by Mr. George Bea- ver, is a competitive group of stu- dents interested in chess. The main goal of the Chess Club was to teach interested students to play chess and to develop better competitive skills, where players attempt to out- wit and outmaneuver opponents for spectacular victories and to inflict crushing defeats. The members of the club prac- ticed on Thursday afternoons and competed in tournaments with other schools on Tuesdays. The Chess 3' S1 1 .. ' Q . .. iff 15 2 W-..4.a... ' -Nw st, a lsi' X . W .

Jonathan Godfrey also participated in the chess tourna- ment held at Dolton Library, where he earned an upset victory over a local master.

Club sprouts green thumbs Because many students enjoy na- ture and working with flowers, hor- ticulture is a growing club. To be a member of Horticulture Club, stu- dents must take a horticulture class. One of the main activities that the club participated in was the Flower Extravaganza which was held on March 10. Horticulture Club also sells carnations on St. Patrick's day, roses on Valentine's day, mums dur- ing spirit week for Student Council, and the all-year-round Friday bou- quets. In addition to the regular activi- ties, this year's club tied yellow rib- bons around trees to honor the hos- tages in Iran. The club also made special centerpieces for Thorn- Wood's Tenth Anniversary Celebra- tion. This year's sponsor, Miss Kristi Ohley, stated, Horticulture Club of- fers students a chance to work with nature and the environment, where- as other clubs don't.
