The school year of 1957-58 gave birth to a new cultural society at Cathedral High School-a Chess and Checkers Club. The idea of a club of this kind was conceived in the mind of Mr. Brendon Purtill, Page Forty-six one of Cathedrals most beloved and respected teachers. Mr. Purtill organized the club and arranged a tournament within the school and also with another high school in the city. He can rest assured that all chess and checker enthusiasts in the school are most grateful to him. Although not too much progress has been made in the Held of chess and checkers at Cathedral this year, the foundations have been laid. Everyone concerned with it envisages a great future for the club. Activities of the Chess and Checker Club: Chess Tournament Winner-C. Silkans, 11-lg Checker Tournament Winner-C. Silkans, 11-1.

The Cathedral debating teams were again active in international competition this year. On February 14 the senior team took part in the annual Basilian Speech Festival, along with schools from such widespread points as Sudbury and Chicago. Cathedral, although last year's winner of the tour- nament's Paul Martin Trophy, lost out in their bid for top honours, but made a lighting effort for the blue and white. The team was composed of Christopher Fox, VVil- liam Todd, Paul Martin and Thomas McNulty. The coaches, Mr. MacDonald and Father Bodnar, both felt that valuable experience was gained by our participating speakers, and also by the non-participat- ing members of our junior debating society, who accompanied them. This reserve of power will be instrumental in next year's competition, when Cathedral hopes to bring the trophy back here, where it belongs. TOM MCNULTY. JUNIOR DEBATING Congratulations to our junior debators, Michael O'Conncr, Edward Miazza, Christopher Lipinski and Anthony Ferry, on their splendid victory in Toronto. From among the seven schools competing, the Cathedral group was named the best. A hand must first be given, though, to Mr. MacDonald, who devotes his time and energy to public speaking in our school, and to Vvilliam Todd and Christopher Fox, senior debaters, who also helped to groom the juniors. Almost everyone takes for granted that public speaking and debating are easy. The long hours of compiling material and the making of speeches are completely forgotten. It is encouraging to see this interest in our younger students, because as the older boys move on, we will have these fellows to step into their shoes. In this way trophies will continue to stock our showcase. JOHN MILLS, 10-4. Front Row - B. Allen, E. Miazza, M. O'Connor, A. Ferry, C. Lipinski, P. Nace. Back Row fl. to nl - T. Walsh, E. Gryski, B.
