'I 'rcaslzrvr The Civics Club, Hibbard's oldest and largest organization, is the greatest unifying and social power of the school. It has backed every activity any other organization or the school as a whole has undertaken. Its origin dates back several years, founded on civic and social principles. The officers are nominated at mass meetings and are elected at a later date. The Australian Ballot system is used. As the membership exceeds six hundred, most of the business is carried on by the Executive Board, which consists of the regular officers and chair- men of committees. The club arranges programs and plays which are presented in our own auditorium for members only. Dances are also a part of the entertainment. Due to the small dance floor, the club is divided into two parts--junior and senior. The junior division takes in the Freshmen and Sophomores, while the senior division consists of the Juniors and Seniors. The committees of this club are: Social Committee, Program and Music, Civic, Assembly, Stage, Membership, Girls' W'elfare, Vocational and Boys' VVelfare. When the club was smaller all business was handled at mass meetings, but now it is impossible to hold nfore than three a semester. Mr. Schulz, faculty adviser. Mrs. Young is assistant adviser.

Its founders were H. Gillman and A. Shustek. The first meeting was held in 205 and Miss Bannister was adviser then, as now. The name was later changed to the Hibbard Chess and Checker Club. In 1924 the chess team played Austin. Since then several tournaments have been held to determine the best players. Although only boys are on the teams, there are quite a number of girls who are in the club. The dues are 15 cents a semester. This semester's ofhcers are: The teams have played Medill this semester, losing the Chess games 8-2 and the Checker 18-12.
