THE YEARBOOK HE l9-H Trinity Yearbook is the result, of the ambition of the present Sixth Form, the perseverence of its members, and the whole hearted sup- port of the entire student body. It was conceived carlyilast fall when a group of Sixth Formers decided that it was a shame for the graduating class to have no annual in which to preserve the recollections of their chums and the years at Trinity. Quickly taken up by the renovated Student Council, the idea materialized, plans were formulated, and subscription drives launched among the students. The response was encouraging, to say the least, and so production was immediately begun. Inasmuch as the 1944 Yearbook is thc lirst to come from the portals of Trinity School in eight long years, the difficulties and handicaps which were encountered from the time of its inception were of the first magnitude. ln the first place no one on the staff had ever done this sort of work, consequently inexpericnce brought about lnany mistakes which otherwise would have never occurred. Secondly, a decided lack of advertising, for at the present time most companies have eliminated scholastic advertising from their budget, caused no end of grey hairs among the Business men. As a third point, procrastination reared its ugly headg and, as any staff member can tell you, only havoc in the end is the result of its presence. These obstacles were no match for the tenacity of the Editor and his Stall, however, and finally, after months of heart-rending labor, this masterpiece which you are presently perusing went to press, to emerge triumphantly for your inspection and lfwe hopej your pleasure. Now, to fulfill our duty to the letter, we, the staff, must imbue our successors with the inspiration to produce bigger and better Trinity Yearbooks in the future. 34

The players of the ancient sport are overflowing the nineteen- placc ladder, l'i0l'Ill Four has taken the lead this year, filling fourteen of the nineteen positions. and offering serious competition to the two veteran Seniors at the top. Next year. they should form a formidahle team that will do great things for Trinity chess. Under a system of challenge matches for places on the ladder, a spirit of friendly rivalry is encouraged. Almost every afternoon numhers of students can he seen playing each other, or trying their luck on one ol' the coachis simultaneous exhihitions. Trinity is a memher ol' the Chess Association of Private Schools, and com- petes for its trophy, the Moore-de Golier cup. Trinity retired the lirst one after winning it six years in succession. The second is now hotly contested hetween our school and Horace Mann. So far this year, we are running our rivals a close second, hut there is every chance of our pulling ahead hcfore the end of the season. At the end of the school year, four medals are awarded. The school gives two, one gold and one silver to the hest two players in the school, determined hy a round-rohin tournament among the top six men on the ladder. The C.A.l'.S. gives two other medals to the winners of a city-wide tournament in which two delegates from each school take part. Since the city contest was started in l929. 'l'rinity has won it four times - more than any other participat- ing school. Among the ex-'l'rinity chess players who have gained later prominence in the chess world are Vincent Eaton '30, for many years an editor of the Chess Review, and a memher of Washington's leading eluh, and several important college players. fVl. de Colier, the, coach, who also teaches French, is a veteran of many years of chess. For a long time he was a memher of the lylarshall Chess Cluh, and played for them in a numher of matches. 35
