Their waiting list of prospective members is long, and is increasing day by day. The club advocates the four Cs and was very helpful in the campaign for universal observation of them. With Mr. VVhittlesey in charge many enjoyable hikes have been held through the picturesque Sand Dunes. 'l'hese trips cultivate health and the appreciation of nature's beauty, besides self reliance and perseverance. The boys are thriving and their meetings are carried off with despatch, the niemhers giving cheerful and whole-souled support to the officers.

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. Other schools have been challenged and it is hoped that many schools will answer. Miss Bannister, the adviser, believes that Hibbard will make a good showing in the future and will bring home a Chess and Checker trophy very soon.

ScrgvurzI-at-.alrms Debating came into its own with the formation of the Hibbard High School Debating Club in March, 1925. It was an outgrowth of the former Parliamentary Law Club, which had been under the direction of the English Department. Miss Bristol became the sponsor of the club. Under her able guidance it grew steadily until it has reached about 65 members. Now in its second semester, still under the guidance of Miss Bristol, the club has become one of then clubs of Hibbard. Debating is a subject of importance and interest to all and in time lu come the Hibbard Debating Club hopes to carry the laurels of debating to Hibbard.
