Chess Club If the student body were polled as to which day of the week was their favourite, I would assume Saturday would place first with Sunday a close second. But a small minority of students look forward to Wednesday with excitement, comparable only to the thrill preceding St. Patrick ' s Day, Hallowe ' en and April Fools ' Day. During lunch hour people have observed a small mob huddled together in room 106, muttering such words as I challenge you , Eghad! , Check , I resign and Check- mate! No they aren ' t playing Monopoly, Tiddlywinks or weed- ing the lawn, they are concentrating on the oldest game in the world-Chess! Kowlessar ' s Chess Champs have again proven them- selves by winning both of their challenge matches this year. The first from BCI and the second from the Staff-Studded Team. The mystics rumour that this success is due to the new chess sets that were purchased with a Student Council grant. At the moment the TISS Chess Club is a concent rated band of future grandmasters, and many more new members are needed. So if ping-pong bores you, checkers put you asleep, or endlessly circling the track knocks you out, join the chess club and become a proud member of K.C.C. Go, Frank, Go!

Stage and Lighting Crew The Stage and Lighting Crew is composed of students in years one through five. The crew has worked hard setting up sound and lighting effects for TISS in assemblies and dances. The crew has also also worked for the community in such things as Art shows, plays (Civic Centre), Conventions, and Christmas parties. The members of this crew learn to understand more about electricity, lighting and sound systems.

Outers ' Club This year was a busy one for the outers. We had five major camps, swim nights, and many noon hour meetings with films on camping. The year started with a fall co-ed canoe trip to Long Beach. Mother Nature finally co-operated and gave us good weather to break in some rooky staff advisors. A small but hardy co-ed crew faced the rigors of winter on a three day camp at Foley Mountain in February. The spring canoe trip was made up of a junior boys ' trip from Morton to Gananoque, a senior co-ed trip to Algonquin Park, and a girls ' trip on the Mississippi River. All trips were successful even though the fish didn ' t bite and the bugs did. Home sweet home. Compliments of SELKIRK METALBESTOS.
