PHOTO CLUB inning first place with their Homecoming booth, Photo Club had a highly inventive and success- ful year under the leadership of Richard Morris. Photo Club gained recognition by winning the award for the best booth at Homecoming, having their Club name engraved on the trophy displayed in the foyer. Photo Club also enlarged its duties in Wasson, taking a greater percentage of pictures for Thunder- bolt and Wahian. They also aided students with ideas and pictures for visual aids given with their speeches. While shouldering the heavy responsibilities for school photography, Photo Club members also found extra time to compete for the Scholastic Photography Awards. The Photo Club strove to increase efficiency for faster service and to attain more effective, high qual- ity photographs.

CHESS CLUB ast year Chess Club attained the Club of the Year award because of their successful record and their contribution to Wasson morale. This year began with a highly profitable Homecoming booth, followed by a first-place finish in the city tournament for the sixth consecutive year. Chess Club continued their winning streak by beating Cheyenne Mountain and Air Acad- emy for the second year in a row. The incorporation of military strategy into their chess games was introduced by Chess Club's new sponsor, lVlr. Kunce. These new tactics proved suc- cessful for this year's club. The five best players from the previous week's practices were chosen to play in that week's match, thus enabling more boys to par- ticipate in the actual meets. Where do I move now? Mr. K unce seems to have caught Kent Lawyer in a trap.

INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS CLUB n interest in world problems was the only require- ment for International Relations Club member- ship this year. Organized for students who are inter- ested in national and international affairs, IRC tries to promote personal understanding of global problems. Getting the students involved in the Presidential election was one of the main objectives. Under the guidance of Mr. Foster, the club sponsor, IRC planned two assemblies to familiarize the student body with the positions of both political parties. Representative Frank Evans of the Third Congressional District spoke one day for the Democrats, and Leo Hoegh, former governor of Iowa, spoke the next day for the Repub- licans. On November 1 IRC conducted a mock elec- tion in the Brick Room. Students voted for President, senator, and representative. Other activities this year included trips to Denver for a conference on India, to Greeley for the Model United Nations, and to Boulder for the World Affairs conference.
