CHESS CLUB OH'icers: President. George Lawyer: Captain, Lester Hansens Robert Blu, Marion Chown, Floyd Gillett, Melvin Hansens David Kleiman, Robert Straayer. Walter Wood, jr. "XX'hy the deep thought and concentration?" is the question brought to one's mind as he gazes at the Chess club in action. The main object of the club is to train the brain to dwell on a subject suffi- ciently before acting, as well as to develop a knowledge of the game and the ability to play it. Direction of this club lies in the capable hands of Mr. Wfalter Wfood who helps solve some of the many problems which arise in this complicated game. Games are played with clubs of other schools at various times during the year. HOBBY CLUB OHicers: President, Kenneth Starng Vice President, Lyle Hulsappleg Secretary and Treasurer, Albert Hulsapple. Lyle Bliss, John Goulooze, Edward Green, Warren Hogendyk, Kenneth Knoll, Anton Mieras, Harry Miller. The main purpose of the Hobby Club is to stimulate hobbies among the boys in the school and give a better understanding of each other's ways. Although the club is small it has made much progress during the last year, owing its success to the advice given by its sponsor, Mr. Dell, and to the good co- operation of its members. During a three year period, the most important activity has been fixing toys during the Christmas season. More than five hundred toys have been fixed during this time. Three or four shop trips are taken during the year, mostly to machine shops such as Corduroy and Imperial. The club meets once every other week. I 69 Il
