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. .

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.

"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 Dianne Armstrong, ri§ht, of Gerry's Appliances, presents Mrs. Douglas Heske of RR 2, Goderich, with the upright vacuum cleaner which she won in our monthly bonus draw.

COME OUT AND ENJOY LIVE THEATRE IN GODERICH 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.
