BRIDGE, CHESS Originating from the fifth period World Lit Class, the WORLD LITERATURE CLUB was organized to raise money to sponsor classical and foreign films for Brandywine students. ln April, the members took a trip to the Shakespeare Festival in Stratford, Connecticut. Another new addition to the Brandywine scene, the POETRY CLUB encouraged members to appre- ciate good poetry and to' try their own creative skills. The members read, discussed, and analyzed poetry by noted contemporary writers as well as that of their fellow members. The ABCADIA staff, in its fifth year, published for the first time two issues of the literary magazine for Sl.00. The staff members, experiencing much blood, sweat, and tears, encouraged, collected, or- ganized and illustrated original writings by Brandy- wine students. Brandywine's Champion Chess Team, in its fourth year of existence, continued the Bulldog winning tradition, losing only to Salesianum, after thirty- eight consecutive wins. The CHESS CLUB also became a member of the Delaware State Chess Foundation this year. During the year interested advanced and begin- ning bridge players met for weekly play and in- struction. The more skilled members of the BRIDGE CLUB took part in an in-club tournament play-off. Below: BRIDGE CLUB, Front row, from left: B. Danby, S. Davis, T. Hedin, E. Weidman, B. Green, J. May, S.
