These incite competition and aid in sharpening the faculties and perfecting the skill of the contestants. Since chess is a game which becomes more fascinating the more one gets involved in its perplexities and puzzling labyrinths, the Weekly meetings have afforded a source of unending interest for the members.

Open forums were conducted on topics of interest to the members, and many informal discussions were held. In this manner, many interesting ideas and beliefs were brought to the fore, the members learned how to express themselves and their opinions in understandable language, and particularly acquired some information about certain modern, social, and politi- cal problems.

STUDENT SERVICE RECCDRD CQMMITTEE IRGANIZED last semester purely as an experiment, the Student's Service Record Committee has so far exceeded expectations and has shown such Wonderful possibilities, that it has been retained definitely in Harris but reorganized more efficiently to handle the duties and 'j W ' tasks incumbent upon it as a society whose only function is to com- pile records. The students who serve on the committee deserve a great deal of credit for the assiduity and sincerity they have displayed in their work. Through their efforts, table of statistics has been completed which will be very helpful to the Arista and G. O. bodies in the reviewing of candidates and awarding of school service pins. Mr. Martel's guiding hand is chiefly responsible for the great success of the committee this term. Page Ofze Hundred Twelve
