l 'D by Kay Clson photos by Flollin Sanderob A Club in the Ivlaking Cn a dark and cold Wednesday night, students gather together in room C-8 to learn the fun- damentals of the games. Chess Club was intro- duced to Beyer this year for the very first time. Cre- ated by club president lVliKe Cppenheim, the club con- sisted of 'l C boys and E girls, a total of twelve mem- bers in all. The club met regularly on the second and fourth Wednesday of every month, at which time members were taught chess maneuvers which would increase their skill and vvhere members also played against one another in a chess match. Guided by lVlr. Walker, the club's advisor, the students involved not only learned different procedures in capturing their opponents pieces, they also learned to think in a clear and logical manner, something that is required of any good chess player. 75?
