During the past year, the Chess Club has enjoyed
considerable success. Many new members, mainly
from Std.s 6 and 7, joined tbe club, pushing the
membership up to more than ninety. More support
from tbe senior classes would ensure more
competition for the team members, and consequently
a uigher standard of play.
Special beginner-classes were held during the
first two terms, and about fifteen boys were
taught the basic moves and the rules of chess.
The attendance at the daily meetings was good.
with as many as twenty boys playing.
