The 1938 Roundup CHESS CLUB HISTORY Established in ’3 4 under the direction of Mr. Rawlins, the Chess Club has budded into prominence and in its present status it is a flourishing organization with r . membership of twenty. Founded to promote the principles of chess, this club initiated and fostered the R. H. S. Chess Tournament. Selecting Billy Jernigan as their first president, the sixteen charter members made steady progress in successive years under Robert Evans and Elsie Enell. The organization spurted ahead with new life and enthusiasism in ’37 when sixteen prospective chess masters were initiated. One of this number. William Kinnaman, was elected president for the ensuing year, while another, Warren Lane; captured the tourney crown. In ’38 four additional members were enrolled. There are twelve members in this year’s Spanish club: Miss Magill, sponsor, Audrey Wayne, president; Charlesphine Wheeler, vice president; Dora Lovato, secretary and treasurer; Juanita Macias; Helen Ayala; Mabel Arellano, Mildred Anderson; Anna Oof far; Marie Sallade; Nellie Wilson; and Helen Gordon. The first eight girls gained membership by writing a paper in Spanish v hich was judged hy Miss Magill. The last three girls were admitted to the club when they presented a short Spanish play. The purpose of this club is to further the friendship between Spanish-spsaking countries and the United States.

The 1938 Roundup Thirty-five students reported to the first debate call of 1937, issued by Miss Harrington, to study the question of un'cameral legislation. This number was soon cut until the following numbers remained: Sherman Hunton, Clarence Brimmer, Evelyn Keldsen, and John Fraher, (charter mem- bers of the club, organized in 1936,) Betty Turner, Enid Shaw, Mary Martinez, Virginia Beebe, and Warren Lane. Six of these represented Raw lins in at least six debates and won over half of them, which record entitles them to a debate award or letter. These people are: Warren Lane, Clarence Brimmer, John Fraher, Sherman Hrnton (A team representatives), and Virginia Beebe and Mary Martinez (B team representatives). Throughout the year the teams traveled a total of 2150 miles. They entered 41 debates, of which 23 were won, 14 lost and 4 received no decision. Rawlins won the B tournament at Cheyenne in December, took second in the A tournament at Rawlins in February, and third in the Greeley tournament in March. NATIONAL ATHLETIC HONOR SOCIETY
