The Chess Club for both Senior and junior High School pupils were started in this high school in September of 1937 by Mr. R, F. Read, mathematics teacher. The object is to teach the pupils the rules of the game and to enable them to spend at least a part of their leisure time in a desir' able environment with practically little expense. Tournaments are arranged periodically to enable them to practice what they have learned and to let them benefit from each other's experiences. Chess is a very easy game to learn, and it is surprising how interested the pupils bef come in the game once they have mastered the elementary rules. At present they play fast, simple games rarely lasting more than fifteen minutes each. The quality of the strategy is not deep, but that will come later to those who are capable of developing it. The officers of this club are: Ralph Scott, President, Bob Dougherty, Vice President. Edward WAIIYCTS, Secretary, and Richard Roberts, Treasurer.
