On December 6, 1957, the Club went to the Mexican Embassy and had lunch at El Sombrero Cordobes, where we enjoyed Arroz Con Pollo, which means chicken with rice.

It has reached its peak in the last couple of years and now has over twenty members. The club purposes are to emphasize sportsmanship, physical conditioning. team spirit and friendly competition. The club feels it offers an opportunity for those boys who are not able to make the Woodward sports teams to still feel the spirit of friendly competition. Club oflicers are: Jim Hobbs. Presidentg John Fried. Secretary. and John Shubiak, Treasurer. In addition to his usual recording duties, the Secretary serves as a statistician. He keeps an accurate account of the averages, strikes, spares, and high games accumulated by the bowlers. The members are organized into teams. and compete for the team championship as well as for individual awards. The school gives a trophy to the outstanding bowler and our club gives prizes to individual winners. Above the feeling of pride in their personal accomplishments, they learn to work with and cheer for each other. The Club bowls each Thursday after school. lt is our good fortune to have the bowling alleys conveniently located in the basement of the Y.M.C,A. building. This enables the Club Members to complete their game each week in time for all of them to return home early to study. For the past two years. the Bowling Club has been sponsored by Mr. Parnell. 52

Merritt Booth John Gilmer David Minor Robert Rush Chau Club The Chess Club has been an established activity at Woodward School for many years, The Club has enjoyed a variety of able sponsors. and is fortunate this year in being under the tutelage of Colonel Booth, who combines his knowledge of military strategy and of mathematics to enliven his interest in Chess. Chess has been a popular intellectual activity for many centuries, and it is believed by many that the mental disciplines employed in the game have a transfer value in helping to promote sound thinking and critical judgment. Be that as it may, all are agreed that Chess is a highly enjoyable and exciting pastime. Members have been developing their skills, both by group discussion of principles of Chess strategy and by pitting themselves against stronger opponents. Anyone who has walked by Room 307 while a Club meeting was in session will agree that he has seen no more deeply engrossed group of students anywhere.
