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.

DANCING CLUB Under the excellent supervision of Misses Coyne and Bailoni, the Dancing Club became one of the most outstanding Clubs in the high school. With the cooperation of the Club monitors and the Club itself, Misses Coyne and Bailoni began the grinding task of the noneftwofslide, oneftwofslidef' Of course, it took time and patience in the beginning for the girls and boys to over' come their faults and self-consciousness, but their efforts were well rewarded after a few weeks' practice. As you know, the Club was formed mostly for students who did not know the technique of dancing. Perhaps we didn't turn out any Fred Astaires or Ginger Rogers, but the comparison wouldn't be so bad after all. The Senior members of the Club regret their leaving, because the years to come will surely bring progress and enjoyment with such competent directors. OFFICERS President . ......
