Chess makes it big at GDCI
BY KEVIN COX
11E
When an adult thinks of the
vocabulary of the average
teenager , today he is usually
confused and , often disgusted
with such terms as "groovy,"
"greaser" or "pot." It is
therefore , very comforting for
him to learn that the most
popular phrase in G.D.C.I. at the
present time' is the expression
"Check -mate,".. for chess has
become the most popular
pastime among .the students of
G.D.C.I. and the number of
" active participants increases
every day. .
The organization behind this
change in the attitudes of the
students (from viewing the game

theme, we include a poem
entitled "If the World I Could
Imptipte" by. Carl Elliott,
Brenda, ThOmpson, Cutt,
and Susan Moxley (of Grade
VIII.
IF THE WORLD,
I COULD IMPROVE
If the World I could imprOve,
I, would make the world a treaty,
Saying, never argue, no one
rules;
And no one, please! be greedy.
No land above another,
So to put, an end to war'.
End this blocidthirsty fighting,
Ban it with a door!
If the world I could improve,
The races would be the thing to
smooth',
The fighting Would stop,
All the people would say,
How are you? fine, lovely day.
So I see from day • to day,
That many a change should be
made.
Forget about silks and lace, •
And make this world a happier
place.
If the world I could imRroye
The Starvation
In this nation -
Could easily improve.
We have refrigeration
To keep our nation's supply
But think of the poor others
Who eat their brothers,
And sit there just to die.
OCTOBER
BONUS DRAW
WINNER
of chess as only for the .
"Super -brains" to realizing that
everyone can participate with
moderate degrees of success) is 's
the Chess Club itself.
Mr. Teal, a math teacher at
our high school,. fontied the club
in 1966 and has participated
actively with the members ever
since.
When the Chess Club was
started a dance was held to raise
funds. With., the proceeds of this
Student Council -sponsored
event, 12 wooden chess .sets
were purchased. In this way no
membership fee has, been
necessary to keep the,
organization going.
Last year the Student Council
was kind enough to donate the
money to purchase 12 new
plastic chess sets. This purchase
was necessary because several
pieces from the wooden sets had
disappeared.
Although the Chess Club does
Pot have the large membership
of some • of • the- other
organizations in the school, it is
definitely the most active club in
the school. This year we have a
membership of 21 (not to
mention a number of other § who
play a lot during noon hour, bit
who are, not yet brave enough to
join the club).
Chess has made Room 29 into
a 'sort of social centre- where
anyone can go to, enjoy a game
by watching or playing, do"
homework, or just enjoy a chat

Ninth his friends.
The club encourages
competition between its
members by rating everyone on
a progress system with name tags
that .proceed up the scale. This
way the best player naturally
rises to the top as he plays,
steadily advancing one position
at a tinie; the poorer player
descending one position as he
loses.
In addition to this constant
competition, we have an annual
tournament. This year, for the
first time, all members are
participating in the tournament
and the 'results could be very
interesting.
The greatest problem of the
Chess Club now is the lack of
outside competition with clubs
in the area.
After several resounding
defeats .Clinton is no longer
anxious to do battle with the
Goderich club. Other high
school chess clubs have faded
out and thus the outlook for
outside competition is ver Y" dark,
indeed.
We would like to hear from
any . interested adult or high
sChdol •• chess clubs ' so. that
tournameRt competition may be
organized.
Anyone, wishing ' further
information about the club is
welcome to drop in and visit
with • Mr. Teal, the staff
supervisor, or Murray Rivett, the
club president.
Karen Harris
in Kindergarten the children
gave their opinion on what they
thought of autumn. Raking
leaves,. HalloNye'en, picking
chestnuts, leaves 'changing colors
and leaves falling off the trees
were some of their thoughts.
Also the children. have been
making wild geese.
In the open area the children
are excited about their new
"Jungle Book." The children are
not all there because the mumps
and measles have been upsetting
them. One boy was away from
school for nearly a month with
the measles.
The grade fours, one day this
week, learned about different
alphabets — the Greek, Roman,
Phoenician, Egyptian Picture,
Chinese-and—English'-They made
three charts which are now on
the bulletin board in the hall.
This week the grades seven
and eights handed in geography
booklets that they had written.
Covers for these booklets were
made in art period. We also are
working on speeches for next
week.
Friday afternoon, grades our
to seven taught grades one to
three printing andreadilg. The
theme was ',Remembrance Day.
