The club also held inter-club tourna- ments which were thoroughly enjoyed by all mem- bers, Because of an increase in membership over last year, a team was able to be formed in hopes of playing tournaments with other schools. We hope the time comes when check is even more popular than it is now.

THESE ARE TIMES THAT TRY MEN'S SOULS WORLD AFFAIRS CLUB Under the able leadership of Miss Beatrice Easter, the World Affairs Club plunged enthusiastically into the problems of today's world. It was an optimistic but serious group that met after classes to discuss the future ot the United Notions, or nuclear testing and nuclear science, or the much controversial issue of Red China's admittance to the United Nations. Once a month the members attended an interscholastic senior high school forum in downtown Philadelphia, where distinguished speakers gave excellent speeches on modern day problems. The group also heard hrst hand reports about the difterent countries of the world from their classmates who had been abroad and had seen the places where history is in the making. During the school year there were also trips to the United Nations and Washington, D.C. FIRST ROW: W. Hnotiuk 'Vice Chairmani, Miss Easter LSponsorl, E. Wood LSec.l, SECOND ROW: R. Wood iTreos.l, G.
