P Language clubs provide a vital function in today's rapidly moving world. At Kennedy, the La- tin, French, Spanish, Russian, and German clubs serve to supplement the classes by emphasizing an exchange of ideas and understanding between peo- ple of different nations.

Spirit, Skill Attained Via Pep, Chess Clubs This year a new and inspiring title has been given to an already established club. The Booster Club has been christened the Pep Club and pep is what they have suc- ceeded in promoting. The members, to- gether with their advisor, Miss Melvin, faithfully attend all the Kennedy games to cheer on our team and spread spirit throughout the stands. They strive hard to do the job of representing Kennedys unity through spirit. Chess is a tense, tedious game which requires much skill. Each of the eight members of the Kennedy Chess Club are gifted with this special skill. Along with Mrs. Landrith, the club's advisor, the members attend a monthly tournament at the Detroit Edison Building, the only high school participating in these tournaments. - ,,l W X, ,E A' . u ' l .
