CI-IECKERS CLUB OFFICERS President . . ....... JOHN Boucic VicefPresident . . WILLIAM DITCHBY Secretary . . . . . . ROBERT FANELLA Treasurer . . . . ELMER SCICCHITANO Sponsor . . . MR.KoRoPcr-:AK The origin of the game of Checkers is lost in obscurity. Its invention has been variously ascribed to the Greeks, Babylonians, Egyptians and others. In Butsher's translation of the Odyssey we read that when the goddess Athene descended from the heights of Olympus and reached the gate of Odysseus She found the lordly wooers taking their pleasure at draughts in front of the doors. Contrary to general opinion, Checkers is as profound and scientific a game as human ingenuity ever devised. Everybody plays Checkers, but there are few Checkers players. Checkers is a game well worth cultivating because of the mental faculties it calls into playg it imports a fascination all its own, for its main principle is to arrive at an object by the most direct and decisive methods.
