Nevertheless, those who are in the A classes can readily disprove such an idea, for there was a time when Harris featured in these 'T i K lx 1 Lf games. I In February, l9l2, under the supervision of Dr. Saxton and Dr. Mendelsohn, there was a rehabilitation of the Chess and Checker Club. This club soon began to prosper. The members met every afternoon and held matches. After one term a chess tournament was held and the five best players were selected to represent T. H. H. They were Rossman, manager, Gill, Post, Greenberg and Berger. There was a similar match for checkers, and Udell, manager, XfVelko-- The chess team defeated every opponent in the city championship except Stuyvesant, whom they tied. NVith Harris and Stuyvesant tied for the championship a quarrel arose as to a certain match. The managers of all teams concerned ruled that Harris must forfeit four games because of certain technicalities. This dropped our men out of the race but they finished second. The checker team arranged individual matches with Clinton, Stuy- vesant, Commerce and other schools. Stuyvesant was the only school which made us bow. However, the total score of three matches with that school gave us a lead of three points. Both teams continued for three terms, winning numerous matches. Tn june, l9l3, gradua- tion deprived us of most of our men and the club deteriorated and finally expired in the following term. Several efforts have been made to re-establish such a society in Harris and it appears that they will culminate in success for some students are now supporting chess and checkers with great zeal and enthusiasm.
