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. Sponsor, Colonel Boothg President, William Fraserg Secretary, John Fried. 54
