With Mr. Robins acting as advisor, the club sponsored activities such as Days of the Ab- surd . Which included many ridiculous con- tests exemplified by the contest where a liquid soap was whipped to suds and placed in a tub and the contestants guessed how many hours it would take the suds to disappear. Chess is a very misunderstood game. Most people think that it is very slow and dull, but ac- tually once you get involved the game becomes very exciting. That is what we are trying to bring to the students. stated Bruce Brent, the only officer of the club, or should we call him King?
