THE MODERN DANCE CLUB ENCOURACES CREATIVITY. Andrew Warde can be termed umodernw in all of its aspects: architecture, equipment, teaching meth- ods. and even its clubs. Progressive in its study of ballet forms. the Modern Dance Club concentrated on the interpretation and expression of emotions which comprise the fundamentals of the latest styles of dancing. Primarily organized for instruction, the group also explored variations of modern jazz, a type of modern dancing accompanied by jazz music. ART CLUB A PAINT BRUSH AND PALETTE- THE ART CLUBS AT WORK. The password of the Art Club might well be 'gap- preciationf, for the thirty members of this group learned to recognize the values of art both as a his- tory and as a challenge to their own talents. The historical and vocational aspects of art were clari- fied for club members by a visit to an art museum, several films. and lectures by various artists. The budding Rembrandts received the opportunity of displaying their own versatility by learning to use lettering pens and ink, by making a mosaic mural, and by working with clay and paints. Because many members did such fine italic lettering, the Art Club helped many groups make publicity posters. FIRST ROW: Mahani, E. Sawyer. L. Whitworth, Ii. Cetina. SECOND ROW: A. Frasco, D.

THE RUSSIAN CLUB STUDIES RUSSIAN LIFE AND CULTURE. Though everyone has heard of Russia, the gen- eral public thinks of this vast country more as an arms factory than as a nation whose culture is con- ducive to much stimulating study. Warde's Russian Club, however, gained an appreciation of the songs, dances, history, and religion of this country through such activities as listening to folk music, learning songs and dances, and visiting the Holy Ghost Rus- sian Orthodox Church in Bridgeport. The Club,s advisor, Mrs. Helen Dixon, offered a fund of infor- mation based on her experience as a guide at the Russian Exhibition in Moscow during the summer of '59 and helped to make Russia come alive for club members.

THE KINGS OF THE CHESS CLUB FIGHT A BATTLE OF WITS. This year history was made at Warde as the battle of the kings raged on. No, we did not revert to a monarchy: each member of the Chess Club was fighting to keep his king out of check. Though initiated this year, the club conducted a busy sched- ule including a leader tournament within the group itself and matches with Ludlowe and Central. Formed with the purposes of promoting interest in the sport of chess and organizing a team for inter- scholastic competition, the Chess Club truly achieved its goals.
