Poster and Chess Clubs Little is really known about one of our more inter- esting clubs, the Chess Club. The procedure of a regular chess meet goes like this. Each player brings his own chessboard and timeclock when he meets his opponent from another school. There are specific rules to follow, such as making thirty moves within an hour or else forfeiting the game. Schools throughout the league are put into flights according to strength. Consisting of four members each, there are four seats for eight players in a match, ranging from the first or best seat, to the last seat. Scores of meets could turn out to be 4-0, 3-1, or even 3-J—J, since draws count as a half point for both teams. At the end of this round-robin season, points are tallied up, and trophies are pre- sented to the teams with the most points in each flight. The Poster Club, headed by Harry Pong and Timothy Reagan, try to lift spirits of the school by creating posters which are used to advertise dances. These posters, drawn by Matt Mendoza and Raul Perez, show great originality and reflect the spirit of Damien. Br. O'Hare provided guidance and inspira- tion. 76

To further student in- terest in the German language, the German Club regrouped for a third year with new faces and activities. With co-presidents Michael Yap and James Phillips, the club aimed to make the Ger- man language something fun and enjoyable. Ad- vised by Mr. Thomson, the club gathered to con- verse and play games in German. In its first year, the Spanish Club's plan of action was to enhance the Spanish program by playing Spanish games and by attending parties with Maryknoll's Spanish Club. Advised by Dr. Roldan and Mrs. Honea with Edwin Walters as president, the club met once a month in separ- ate junior and senior groups.
