Because of this, the club was divided into two sections. Raymond I. Muller sponsored the section for proficient players, and Miss Elizabeth taught the beginners. As president, Davis Dassori, along with vice- president, Bill Davis, and secretary, Bill Un- derwood, helped organize chess tournaments. The ladder tournament was played all year, while the bracket tournament provided fun for only a short time. With the fifty cents dues paid by each member at the beginning of the year, trophies were bought for the winners. The chess club met every Wednesday dur- ing club period, and every member found it exciting and stimulating. Art Club Are you artistically inclined-or are your circles made by pushing a pencil around a jar top? Either way, if you are interested in art or in any of its applications, the Art Club offers unlimited opportunities in experience, skill, and knowledge of the art mediums. Each week members had o chance to use the art department's supplies for individual and group projects, or they could work on un- finished classwork. The Club period provided a time for informal art work and constructive kibitzing, The program was varied to include speakers and movies. Upon request, the members helped arrange bulletin boards, set up display cases, and sug- gested ways to illustrate various units of study. Sponsored by Emil Hrebenach, the Art Club had as its officers Ellie Houyoux, president, Suzannah Rose, vice-president, and Mary Stites, secretary-treasurer. l ill. u--l .sv tl V f Z X NXXX Ln., jx? 1. 8 V 9 Q , .. , .

Flexagons What is a flexagon, anyway? A flexagon, we are told, is a polygon that can be folded so that its many sides will appear. Tired of being known .as Math Rec- reation Club ll, its members took this inter- esting appellation because it symbolizes their interest in the many sides of mathematics. Pursuing the study of math beyond the class- room and its different applications is the main purpose of the club. As well as having an interest in the purely recreational aspects of math, the club had frequent speakers who told them about fields open in mathematics. Presiding over the meetings were Mitchell Meisner, president, Katie Masoner, vice- president, and Bob Raundy, secretary-treas- urer. Mrs. Ellen Bortz was club sponsor. Math Recreation Club Formed for the purpose of learning more about mathematics not covered in the class- room, the Math Recreation Club affords an opportunity for the math student really to bone up on his favorite subject. Included in the scope of the club is the study of geometric and algebraic puzzles, magic squares, curve stitching, and flexagons. The club members bring in problems which they think will stump their fellow members, publish The Count, a math paper that comes out about once a month, and make reports on different areas of math. This year the club was honored to have Mr. Peter Sawitz, father of the club's vice-president, talk on this subject. Sponsored by Malin Craig, Jr., the club has as its officers Peter Karpoff, president, Allen Sawitz, vice-president, and Sherry McCune, secretary-treasurer.

Made up of students interested in the actual staging of productions, the group under the direction of John Stout takes care of such back-stage activities as raising and striking sets, controlling the lights and sound effects, and handling the curtain and make-up. ln addition, some of the thirty-four members of the group sell tickets, act as ushers, and prepare and distribute the programs, Chorley Grubb, chairman, and Marilyn Pollack, vice-chairman, presided over this year's meetings. Dramatics-Acting Fantasia, the biggest land onlyi variety show of the year is one of the main projects of the Dramatics Club. Working with Production, members of the Acting division of the club lend a hand with publicity, tickets, and all the other necessary production jobs. Profits from the show go directly into the combined clubs' treasury. Working independently, the Acting group learned about the technique of stage pres- ence from Miss Janet M. Coulson, their club sponsor, The officers of the club were also the officers of the Thespians: Bill Mullinix, pres- ident, Sally Chaney, vice-president, Gretchen Golze, scribe, Jean Dickey, treasurer, and Joy West, Clerk.
