VVe must organize an entirely new team this term, and from entirely new material. If you play chess we need you. Watch for the announcement of meetings on the daily sheet. It is up to you chess players to give your team just as much support as any other school team receives. W. J. Baker, Captain. COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY Top-Nagleschmidt, Watson.

One of the active clubs which has arisen out of the interest in one of the studies in Richmond Hill High School is the Com- merce and lndustry Club, which has grown up through the cooperation of the members of the commercial geography class in the Main Building. This club is under the leadership of Miss Hubbard, and is meeting this term on Friday afternoons. There are talks at the meetings on various businesses, with now and then a debate on a live prob- lem, such as the Great Lakes to the Sea project. g YVith this term there has come a new idea in furthering the purposes of the club. This is the Commerce Reporter, a modest newspaper distributed by the members of the club to the various classes. It aims to do three things: to collect definite news of the industrial world, to keep in close touch with the alumni, and to acquaint the stu- dent body with the facts of interest along these lines. It is very interesting, not only to the members of the club, but also to those who are not in the club. The club is starting on an active year. lt plans for three issues of the paper, for a trip on November 23d to the American Sugar Refining Company, for an evening meeting 'at the Brooklyn Institute to see Alaskan pictures, and possibly for a trip to one of the large steamers when in port. The officers for this term are: President, Theodore YVolffg vice-president, Amelia Jaeger, secretary, Edwin Deasyg treas- urer, Albert Shpetner. Clzrzrlfs S. Strong.

The Orchestra, with its fifty-odd members under the most able leadership of Mr. Wood, expects to give a Grand Concert in connection with the Gloria Trumpetersfl a group of women trumpet geniuses who are world famous, on December 8, 1922. The Orchestra needs a few more instruments, as a bass, a violist, a flutist, an oboeist, in fact any sort of an odd instrument. The officers for the following term are: Burgess Morlious, president, Florence Nickels, vice-president, Roland Kestler, secretary, Francis Schwickhardt, G.O. rep- resentativeg John McCuen, librarian. Roland Kestler, ,23. Glee Club The Glee Club is at present working, in unison with the Orchestra, preparing the music for the Fall Concert, which is to be given Friday evening, December 8, 1922. The club feels certain that its program is one which will not only bring honor to R.H.H.S. but will also prove interesting and delightful to the audience. Among the numbers to be rendered by the chorus will be Rendegger's 15oth Psalm and Hear My Prayer. Both these selections are well known in the musical world. The special attraction will be a few numbers by the celebrated Gloria Trumpetersf, In order that the club may realize its ambition to make the concert a success, it is imperative that the club obtain the loyal support of every student in the school. Each student can show his school spirit by buying and selling tickets for this event. The first meeting of the club was held on the second Tuesday of the new term. It was a business meeting, at which officers for the new term were elected. They are: Ethel DeGroot, president, Luella Cisney, vice-president, Howard Tiffany, secretary. John McC11e:1. The Chess Team -At the present time neither the Chess Team nor the Chess Club has been organ- ized for the fall term. Last year much attention was given the team, and the club was really neglected. But this term we in- tend to have a live and active club, both for the pleasure of the student players and for a firm support to the Chess Team. Any one who knows the moves of a set of chess- men is earnestly requested to join the club,
