The formal initiation of new members into the group took place during winter quarter. The highlite of the philatelists' program was the stamp exhibit held this spring. It was the climax to the year's program. CHESS CLUB The Chess Club was formed by a group of battle hardened chess players in need of an opportunity to play chess without the eternal necessity of disposing of the infernal kibitzer. The idea has met with great success, and since the membership has grown large enough, it is now possible to forcibly eject kibitzers. The organization has not yet decided, however, what to do with those of its members that insist on singing opera music while playing chess. The Chess Club, under the leadership of James Gerald and Win Mott, is looking forward to many more years of chess games, and thanks its advisor Mr. Merton Johnson.
