C.S.L.S. That ' s the National Honor Society in a nutshell: Character, Scholarship, Leadership, and Service. The Society has striven to maintain these virtues in its members through previous years and the ' 73- ' 74 school year was no exception. The Society ' s first meeting last year mixed busi- ness with pleasure. At this meeting (which, incidental- ly also served as a picnic get-together) friends were made, old acquaintances renewed, stories exchanged, and plans made for the year. In an attempt to break away from the typical organizational chain of command system of govern- ment, the N.H.S. decided to carry out their activities as a group without officers, for one year. As a result of this experiment, it was found that officers were indeed a necessary evil if any amount of constructive work was to be accomplished. The Society ' s list of accomplishments over this past s chool year included sponsorship of the annual new-freshman night and the ushering of all parent- teacher functions. The most successful of the past year ' s activities was the Open Forum Day. On this day students were given a chance to break away from their more scholarly endeavors in favor of the pur- suit of such topics as Radio Broadcasting, Piano- Organ, Fishing, Karate, and Quilting, along with many others.

Chess teams ' concentration shows in matches Checkmate! Goodbye! You lose! The now familiar cries of the Gallagher Chess Team, the Golden Knights, signals another vic- tory over a startled opponent. The team ' s fourth consecutive season produced the best record in Gallagher chess history. Facing off against teams from Notre Dame, Finney, Grosse Pte. South, East Detroit, and Os- bom, Gallagher remained undefeated throughout its ten game schedule. Each match consisted of a series of five games. A victory was worth one point to the winning team, and draws were worth one-half point to each side. Three points were necessary to win the match. Individual partici- pants were matched against oponents of roughly equal skill. Directing Gallagher ' s chess team was Mr. Schreiner, the Knight ' s hard-working moder- ator. The experience earned through this season will prove invaluable for the juniors and sophomores on the squad. Tactics and strategies learned and developed by the Knights will garner many more victories in the near future.
