Past performances of such shows as “The Gondoliers’’ and the “Blue Star Revue of 1954’’ insure its popularity; and this year’s production of Victor Herbert’s “Babes in Toy land’’ was one of the best ever. In addition to per- formers seen in past shoivs, many new personalities ap- peared in this year’s production. Whth one of the largest memberships among school clubs, it is one of the most enthusiastic, with everyone giving full co-operation to- ward a superb production. Under the gifidance of L. Hassler Einzig, club members share many happy memories of dress rehearsals, opening night excitement, outings in June; and especially they share a gratitude for Mr. Ein- zig’s generous assistance and friendship. The school is proud of this outstanding group and will long remember their performances with pleasure. T iventy-tivo

CHESS CLUB If anyone passes Room 5 or the Library on Friday, 7th period, he will see some people vigorously studying checkerboards with some strange pieces of plastic or wood on them. Believe it or not this is a game called chess. If this person went in and watched for a while, a long while, he might see some of the pieces move if he’s lucky. Yes, this is the A.M.S. Chess Club in action. The Chess Club has two functions: To teach the students to play chess and to have chess matches. The latter are played with schools in and around Boston such as Roxbury Memorial, Brookline, Newton, Boston Technical and Boston Latin. The team has different numbers of players each year according to the outcome of a meeting. This meeting, with representatives of each school present, makes up schedules, votes in or out of the league other schools and determines the number of “boards” which there will be in each match. A “board” is one game and a match is a whole meeting of two schools. There have been different numbers of players each year; five, seven and ten this year. Mr. Sampson and his Ford station wagon transports the howling mob — or team to the different schools. The Chess Club provides fun for cjuite a few students and is well worth the time put into it.

DRAMATIC CLUB This year the Arlington High Dramatic Chib presented for its annual production, The Ghost Train, a thriller- diller mystery comedy in three acts. The play was pre- sented Friday evening, January thirteenth, at the Junior High East auditorium. A special matinee performance was given Thursday, January twelfth, for all junior high and grammar school students. Thanks to the undying efforts of our fine director, Mrs. Sampson, The Ghost Train was a tremendous success. In March we entered the competition of the Massachu- setts Regional Drama Festival. The Drama Festival is an annual event comprised of a number of different schools each presenting in competition a one act play. From this group two are chosen to present their plays along with others at the John Hancock Building in Boston. Again, two winners are chosen, but this time to represent Massa- chusetts in the New England Drama Festival. Having closed the doors on a very successful and fruit- ful year, we would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all faculty and student managers, without whose assistance our success would not have been possible.
