Chess Club open to new members
 Photo by ALYSSA PELLIGRINI, Crimson Review Staff | Aaron Cerrato, 17, makes his final move against opponent and fellow Chess Club member Kyle Mann, 17. Cerrato ended up beating Mann, going undefeated on the night with a 3-0 winning streak. The Chess Club, started by CHS senior Emily Spencer and juniors Ian Scura and Mattias Lambert, meets Wednesdays after school, this time at Dos Amigos Burritos on Main Street. Scura said he helped start the club because he and others "wanted to play chess with other people who enjoyed it, and we thought it would just be fun," adding, “I like that chess is a game of strategy and it forces me to try and understand the way other people think.” Anyone interested in joining the Chess Club can contact Spencer, Lambert or Scura. |

Taking another look

The Varsity Club, of which Dupre is a member, put on its second annual bonfire for CHS community. Members of the club were instructed to bring sunglasses and wear them while taking care of the fire due to the extreme brightness. It also added to the group's cool factor. Students, teachers, and families listened to music from CHS’s own talented musicians as they watched the blaze. Performers included Paul Lovely, Lovestone, Strawberry Embassy, and the Consumers. For information on joining Varsity Club or performing at next year's bonfire, contact club advisor Christine Boezeman in Commons D. |
Cow's about a kiss?
 Photo by ERIKA SCHAPER, Crimson Review Staff | Concord High School alumnus Josh Thomas, '09, enjoys kisses from a young heifer named Edith at Spaulding Youth Center in Northwood on a rainy Saturday afternoon. A farmer and distributer at the local homeopathic Brookford Farm in Canterbury, Thomas spends his days caring for the animals at the farm and at the youth center. The cows help provide holistic educational benefits for children learning about the local agriculture initiative now sweeping the Northeast. Thomas said that despite the incredible amount of manual labor involved, he enjoys his job because it has enlightened him as to how grateful he should be for the foods he eats. He has also learned the health and economic benefits of locally grown and consumed agricultural products in comparison to those of conventional agriculture. |
Making the grade

Kharel, 17, came to the United States five years ago from a refugee camp in Nepal, where every dream seemed bound not to happen. “Coming to America has itself been a dream come true,” he said. |
