VALLEY’S FUN AND GAMES “Checkmate” was a term that could be heard in study halls activity per- iods as different chess club members challenged one another. Cutting class is something that almost every kid does once in his four years at Valley. Some kids also like to get out of class for club meetings when they aren’t even a member of the club. Mr. Stath stopped having chess club meetings be- cause of this, but the die-hard chess players like Eric McKee asked to start having meetings once again for just the ones who wanted to play chess. Members planned a trip to Ft. Wayne for the Chess competition in hopes to again have the chance to go to Indiana- polis for the state competition. Chess club has been around at Tippe- canoe Valley for 3 years. Mr. Stath ex- plains the club as “a chance to further enrich the minds of all people interested in chess.” The club met during activity period, but practiced their moves after school. Unusually warm weather in February forced Valley’s ski club to cancel their annual trip to Bittersweet Lodge in Michigan. The group was disappointed but they weren’t defeated. The club sponsored two roller skating parties at the East Lake Skate Center in Warsaw. Even though the weather wasn’t al- ways cooperative, the club remained to be one of the more popular activities at Valley. Members met as necessary un- der the guidance of Wayne Cumberland and Jon Parker. Mondays were always exciting as the group climbed aboard a Valley Bus and headed for Mt. Wawasee near Syracuse. There, weather permit- ting, students could flaunt their exper- tise on skis. Billy Kline concentrates on his strategy while Chris Zolman looks for a sign in the eyes of Billy’s opponent. Row 1: J.
