The Chess Club was reorganized this year under the auspices of Mr. Cascio. His line leadership and the avid interest of the members have made it into one of the foremost clubs in the school. The club holds its meetings every Wednesday night in the school store where the members battle for top positions on a progressive ladder, it is all very formal, any member who wishes to challenge another must do so on a special form and then after their game scores are recorded. After winning a certain number 99 of games, a contestant is moved on the ladder to a higher position, and thus meets tougher competi- tion, and if lucky goes ahead. This system makes the not only interesting, but there is also a chal- lenge which spurs each member on. g3.I'1'1C This club not only helps the member learn how to play chess, but it gives him a goal to aim for. Well organized and well run, this club is one of the best, and most popular at Avon.
