Chess and Debate Teams Set Standards “Checkmate!” and “Resolved!” These familiar terms echo through room 237 as the chess and debate teams practice for meets. These two teams, new this year, are under the able guidance of Mr. Richard Bell, who started both teams. The debate team began early in September to pre- pare for this year’s resolution. Resolved: that the Fed- eral Government should equalize educational opportuni- ties by means of grants to the states for the public elementary and secondary education. The chess team started as an informal collection of chess enthusiasts who set out to challenge all comers. The determined team ended the 1961-1962 season with three wins, two losses, and one stalemate. CHESS TEAM—Tommy Dodd, Gary Thorne, Danny Cook, Robbin Church, Tommy Clarke, Frank Hallstrom, Lee Feller, Dennis Rodgers, Lee Feller, Mr. Bell and Robbin Church. DEBATING TEAM—Walter Hendricks, Tommy Diggs, Theresa Albright, Anne Street, John Virkler and sponsor, Mr. Bell. Organizations
