CHESS CLUB. Front Row: Ken Christian, Henry Moriconi, Mr. Charles Davis, Carolyn Jones, Dick Largent. Second Row: Christine Wise, Richard Eppinga, John Sears, Glen Shivel, Jack Chess matches are held Slowly the drama of the battle unfolded. Chessman moved forward and backward, advancing and retreat- ing. Suddenly the queen moved across the board. “Checkmate!” roared the triumphant Rebel, as his op- ponent stared in bewilderment. These sights and sounds often occurred as members of the Douglas Freeman Chess Club met for their Wednesday afternoon meetings. Rebels interested in chess descended upon room 216 at 3:33. In addition to games between club members, Rebels met with area schools. Matches with John Marshall, Highland Springs, Thomas Jefferson, and George Wythe High Schools gave Rebels experience in playing chess. Members took an active part and received beneficia! aid in the formation of this chess competition among area high schools. The league will, in the future, schedule chess matches among these schools and rule on any questions which may arise concerning the game. Chess was not the only activity in which members of the club participated. At homecoming, Carolyn Jones rode the club float, which displayed a chessboard and chessmen. The club, organized four years ago, allows interested Rebels to learn the rules and techniques of the game of chess. Matches are held with a definite time limit to each move and game. The club achieved a record of one win and four losses this year. Henry Moriconi served as president for the year and John Crawford as vice-president. Mr. Charles R. Davis, Jr. advised the activities of the club. Jordan, Jane Inscoe.
