ORGANIZATIONS CSS lub The increased interest and participation in the Chess Club this year ne- cessitated the formation of two clubs, the Middle School Club under the di- rection of Mr. John S. Davenport and the Upper School Club under the di- rection of Mr. A. J. Musil. i l The purpose of the clubs is to stimulate the interest of the members and advance their knowledge of the game. Members were challenged not only by intra-club games, but by hypothetical chess problems. The mem- bers, as they augmented their skills, increased their knowledge of playing this highly complex game. The club has a total membership of forty-eight, thus proving itself one of the most popular and important activities in CA's extracurricular life. Electronics The Elecronics Club under the direction of Mr. Allen Banbury con- tinued in its second year the attempt to familiarize its members with u basic concepts and components of Electronics. Though the instruction deals mainly with theory, practical application is an integral part. There is no specific area of concentration as each member works in the area which interests him and receives assistance on his individual project. The , members also profit from gi sharing their knowledge F and ideas with each other. This year the Electron- ics Club has proved to be an enjoyable and reward- ing experience for those interested in this field and has contributed to the variety of student activ- ities at CA.

K are H ,sf K as 'ia This year the students and their parents along with the faculty set forth on the annual river trip down the Yampa and Green rivers. The large pontoons were supplied and driven by the Hatch River Expedition Company and the smaller rafts were handled by the capable Colorado Academy River Rats. The tremendous scenery was admired by all and aside from the occasional rock rolling was apprec- iated as well. As usual, the river had changed With the erosion of the tremendous cliffs along side of it, especially at Jones' Hole where this part of the river had been destroyed by landslide. This area was said to have been the best 'fishing anywhere in Utah and the fisher- men were greatly disappointed to lose this spot as well as the beauty of the locale. However, it did not hinder the enjoyment of the trip, and all are looking forward to next year's excursion. 1 , :,: f VZ.,:..,, H ' I, .P . i sqm X .fm--. . 1 . lg was , ..-,p Q - , L,,k 1 ig, My .Mt , l.-is f .,,, M we , M Z as , we Q, fs!

The faculty advisor for the Colorado Academy Camera Club and at the same time perhaps its most interested member, Mr. Stanley Arlton created an atmosphere of in- forrnality and constant activity in the club. The organization greatly aided the school publications by providing a myriad of pic- tures, which when published, made for the enjoyment of all. Student members of the club were in- structed and informed as to the operations involved in photography.
