Chess Club l C-Ty f .L ' -,.. I I l ...ai TV and Radio Club The purpose of the TVX Radio Club is to offer members the op- portunity to learn about the com- munication mediums of television and radio. By being involved in various television productions, stu- dents acquire a basic knowledge of technique and the different types of equipment used in this field. They are then able to apply this knowledge through eager partici- pation in club activities. The recent production of the Brockton High l,ites news program has increased student co-operation and provided both the students and faculty of BHS. with a new look at their school. The radio show produced entirely by club members is heard daily on the Brockton Access Channel 8A. Both groups endeavor to work together to produce origi- nal television and radio programs for all of Brockton. - Keith Ciociola iam' li T C 4. ,Au CHESS CLUB The Brockton High School chess club is an extracurricular activity which involves talented students who want to learn, improve their skills at, or yust play chess. The club meets once a week with the advisor, Mr. Dennis O'Neil. The students play exhibition chess matches and record them in a catalog. After a period of time, the players with the best records are chosen for the Chess Team and go to other schools to compete. Players in the club that are not chosen for the team remain in the organization to improve their skills. Strategic chess moves, good sportsmanship, and winning records are the keys to enjoying membership in this club.
