Tecl-i THTLER CHESS CLUB President - ................ ,..- J. Edwards, I4C Tournament Director- I. .McGregor, M4B Junior Representative- ' Cookie Kokurewicz, I4T Sta1f'Adviser'-g-gQ ....... Mr. A. E. Brown The Danforth Technical School Chess Club got off to a flying start in its second year of existence. All through the autumn the C-hess Ladder promoted genuine rivalry in individual competi- tion. One meeting was devoted to play with Seniors versus Juniors. Some startling upsets occurred with youngsters like Mawhinney, MIA, and Harris-Lowe, M1E, taking the measure of some of the veterans. The Annual Club Tournament began in January with Counte Duggan, M5IN, favoured to take his third successive school championship. At the time of going to press he is living up to advance notices by meeting the second seeded player, Cookie Kokurewicz, in the finals. Rodney Harris-Lowe took the junior laurels by capturing two straight games from Mawhinney. Following the Easter vacation it is hoped to get to work on inter-school competition, in which Danforth Tech will be able to enter a really strong team. THE D.T.S.
