Literary Publication University City High School ' s own magazine was created by our own talented students. The magazine includes poems, artwork, short sto- ries, photographs, and musical compositions. The students were allowed to enter anything creative to contribute to the magazine. The advisor, Madelon McGowan, had a very prom- ising and devoted staff who did a very well done job this year. The magazine comes out only once every year, but when it does it is well worth it. The staff reads stories for the upcoming edition Eddie McGoarty, and Carol Croft edit poetry. Eddie McGroarty, Dave Michael, David Owen, Annette Gorholt. Carol Croft, Mrs. McGowen. Kneeling: Pam Cashman. 105

Chess Club Chances are, if you were a chess fan, you were one of the members of The Chess Club, origi- nated by the students for the students. Doors were opened to all people who were interested in playing the challenging, skillful game of chess. Tournaments were played on a ladder where the students went up and down, accord- ing to whether they won or lost. The club met during lunch, and was supervised by Mr. Asakawa, who commented, the club was just outragous. Back Row. Shdwn McMillan, David Obarr, Chris Halkin, David Owen Front Row: Victor Wong.

Newspaper Reporting news was definitely a challenging job. The staff of the Commander was able to present to the Student Body a variety of news features and editorial articles. Even though the staff was made up of students new to journal- ism, this didn ' t handicap the performance and production of the first year ' s papers. Staff members combined their talents and special skills in assemblying the first series of the Com- mander by writing copy and taking photo- graphs. Although sometimes an edition be- came a struggle, certainly all the work was more than worth the effort when the final product was released. The students definitely were successful throughout the entire year. Through all the laughter and arguments, the staff published many memorable editions.
