CLASS 1348 MULPAODL FTER the usual harassing struggle to obtain enough money for this publication, the Yearbook went to press. Business Manager Douglas Burgoyne pushed his fellow students relentlessly in the pro- curing of advertisements and subscriptions. This first and vital phase-as future members of the staff will learn-was finally passed with a great deal of perseverance, and Editor Gerry Dorman began his literary piece with the assistance of a large number of seniors and lower classmen. Bob Reymond did an admirable job of the difficult task of photography, taking and developing most of the candid shots himself. The seniors will hold john Butler and Dick Sherman forever responsible for their attempts to write character sketches of that fine aggregation of American youth. Arnie Burwell, Winnie Fliess, and Michael Train drew the many fine pieces of art appearing throughout the book. It would be almost impossible to go on and mention all the names of those who put in so much time in writing, typing, and proofing like Hal Ballentine, Dick Beattie, and Doug Lee. Thus this publica- tion is laid before you with the desire of all connected with it that it will exist as a treasured reminder of the school year of 1947-48. As a parting shot, the producers of the 1948 Yearbook leave best wishes to their successors and fair warning to start early. May next year's Yearbook be as good as this one!

CAM IZORGANIZED by Mr Wedge who succeeded Mr. Bonsall as the faculty adviser and coach of the chess team, the chess ladder has aroused great interest among the members of the student body. Under the new system, all boys interested received positions on the ladder, from which they challenged those above themselves and were chal- lenged by those below. The team, composed of four men, was selected by a tournament early in the season to determine the relative strength of the players. Entering the Chess Association of Private Schools, Trinity could boast three returning lettermen: Gene Milener Qfirst boardj, William Blank tsecond boardy, Charles Steuart Qthird boardj, and Russell Moro ttourth boarcljwho made the team for the first time this year. Due to the frequent absence of these regular members, Manager Keith Black and Haskell lirei substituted for them in several contests. Hampered by the absence of Milener, the team swept to an un- expected victory over lfranklin, defeating their best men by a score of Following this, three games were lost in rapid succession to Horace Mann, Mcliurney, ZV2-lk, and Horace Mann- Lincoln, 5-I. Outstanding among the players were Milener and Black, the high scorers for the team. Each one was credited with two points at the end ol' the season. 31 i X ig r iq? , N 1 L 1 islui If ly ss O N x Q .Q '- l 1 V , -gulmiv
