THE PUBLIC SPEAKING CLUB The time is 4 P.M. Monday. Shall we follow the great crowd assembling in the corridors of St. John’s High? Or shall we accompany the twenty loyal members of the Public Speaking Club, who have for¬ saken this week’s basketball game for a debate, to their meeting in Room 17? Once the meeting is underway in the usually orderly fashion, a discussion is held with all the members of the club participating. Topics vary from the atomic bomb to homework. The purpose of the high school Public Speaking Club was a twofold one: It al¬ lowed the student orators to test their sil¬ very tongues, and it instructed students who had not done any public speaking. This was accomplished hrough typewritten sheets which explained the different phases of speaking given to the members and by debates and discussions. During the past year Miss Thompson acted as ad¬ visor to the club executive, which con¬ sisted of Norman Cantor, chairman, and Dave Sokolov, Ruth Zloten, Naomi Shubin. ★ CHESS CLUB Back Row —Max Klein, Jim Hrynoski.

J ' ADOUBE “Come on, move the piece, I saw you touch it.” “I said j’adoube, didn’t I?” “So what, move it anyway.” With those enlightening words we enter the inner sanctum of the Chess Club to find a group of bewildered, bewhiskered stu¬ dents huddle over a board completely ob¬ livious to the birds and the bees. To one side we find Messrs. McCallum and Hry¬ noski with Sylvia looking on as coach. Farther on we see Messrs. Goldin and Choslovsky with Sokolov and Krawitz kibitzing, while Messrs. Daw, Promislow, Fainman, and Gershfield are in a corner concentrating on a pair of African dominoes. In recent years the Tech Chess Club has produced more notable players than any club of its kind in Canada. To mention a few: Abe Yanofsky, Leo Moser, and “Toozie” Divinsky have reaped top honors in Dominion championship tournaments, while Yanofsky has been invited to repre¬ sent Canada at the international match in Holland. Even this year three members of the club have been invited to participate in the international tournament between Minneapolis and Winnipeg at Detroit Lakes. With Dave Sokolov at the helm, and Bill Krawitz as mate, the Chess Club has en¬ joyed a comparatively smooth sailing year, and we are looking forward to an¬ other season of brilliant play.
