The development club welcomes students of all ages to join their ranks in the Development Office. Anyone with a free period can contribute his/her manual dexterity to perform such mundane but essential tasks as stuffing envelopes or assembling the pages of the Beacon. The beauty of this type of work is that it frees the mind and tongue whilst occupying the digits. Thus, some of the most enter­ taining converstations in the school take place tucked away in the tiny De­ velopment Office. Simultaneously, the myriad office tasks essential to run­ ning the school are efficiently com­ pleted by the willing hands of the De­ velopment Club.
Chess is an absolutely grueling game. It is a fierce psychological battle between two combatants who must combine patience, a sharp mind, and the killer instinct in order to succeed. One must possess the ability to manip­ ulate complex operations, retain ab­ stract gambits, and deploy logical co­ nundrums, all within the confines of the mind. The Chess Club presented here displays these qualities and oth­ ers.
Within the chambers of Wardlaw- Hartridge, this club not only held no meetings but did not even possess a chessboard. Despite these drawbacks, President Mike Beberman, utilizing a winning strategy, was able to corner the sophisticated Tempora et Mores staff into allowing a club picture to be done and then rooked them into pic­ turing the author of the checkmate. However, in the club’s last meeting, two students did compete for the championship (of seniors who had
third period free).
