The CHESS CLUB, led by Mr. Gordon, carries the honor of the school into the field of the “Game of Kings.” Having many talented members, the team has become one of the best in the city. They have defeated many nearby schoolboy clubs, a factor attesting to their remarkable skill. It is one of the oldest clubs in the school and requires a great deal of concentration and an analytical mind. Some of the more prominent members during the past year were Warren Green, Richard Quinn, and Guitaris Karosas. Next year the team hopes to capitalize upon several budding cham- pions and, as a result, will continue to maintain its superior standing in schoolboy competition.

One of the most firmly established tradit ions at the school is Class Day, an event designed to promote friendlier feeling among seniors and time for all to reminisce on the tears and smiles of the years at Tech- nical High. Guided by the light touch of Mr. Murray, seniors congregate in the Hall in the morning where jolly banter takes place. This is followed by a delicious dinner and convivial outing in a suburban area de- signed to reflect the gayety of the entire class. This genial event marks the last collective affair for the seniors. All in all, Class Day marks the most informal and delightful of all the days of the school year. 2 P.M. — THE END OF THE SCHOOL DAY! GES; Day (aw ite Second Row: Goverman, Samson, Drootin.
