rt Club This year, for the first time, Senior boys have the opportunity to take Art. The .-trt Activities Period meets once a Cycle, and is open to all interested seniors. Since the interests of tht boys are varied, so are their particular pursuits. A few boys have met with much success in the field of sculpture. They have been working on a material ealled Siporex, which is similar to soapstone. Others have worked on wood, linoleum, or wax blocks. Objects have been set up and drawn from different angles in attempts at com- posing still lifes, Origami, fthe Japanese art of paper foldingj, maerame, Qknot tying with eordj, fancy lettering, and studying perspective are some of the other favoured activities. Not always do the boys spend the period Creating something, There are several gt -trr d art books in the art room to be read and discussed. It is a great challenge to learn about an artist, and then to try and imitate his style. The boys are looking forward to learn how to make plaster Casts of their faces, hands, and interesting objects. They will be doing this after Christmas, and what- ever else may intrigue them. hess Club This year the Chess Club was able to function more efficiently with the addition of intramural club periods. All of the members could play regularly at least once a week, and some boys twice. Informal tournaments were arranged during the year, and all the members have im- proved their game to a considerable extent. All our thanks go to Mr. Shaw for organizing this club and keeping the liibitzers under control. C. Noble ,i-
