Gameta Glut- Do you know where the Camera Club photo labs, are? There is one on the east side of the Auditorium, at the top of the stairs, and one just by the music room, downstairs. The meetings are held once a week every Monday to be exact, in Room 14, and a little discussion is held, then the members start on their printing and developing films under the super¬ vision of Mr. Platt. The members experiment with many different types of photography including photo-flash, flood¬ light, and enlarging. The President, Don Munro, and the Secretary, Nick Nences- cue, have had a job in solving problems on photography. Construction classes were held in the wood working department on making enlargers and printing frames. This club is emphatically a “shoe string” club. Expenses are kept to a minimum. No equipment will be bought where members can make the item themselves. No more members will be admitted to the club this year as it is fairly well crowded already. However, new members will be admitted after the summer holidays. The club now has a membership of 24, the largest since its inception in 1942. This organization is growing better every year, and why not? There are few more fascinating hobbies. Stamp, Glut- On the evening of Tuesday, January 17, 1947, Tech’s stamp enthusiasts assembled in Room 5 to organize a Stamp Club with Mr. Mitchell as the amiable and expert staff adviser. John Moroschan was elected President and Nick Nencescue was given the office of Secretary Treasurer. It was decided to limit the membership to thirty students who might belong to first, second, third or fourth year. As yet the membership is not closed and anyone interested in joining is asked to contact one of the officers. Every Tuesday evening the Club meets to enjoy a programme which promotes an understanding of stamps and to give a greater appreciation of their worth. It is not necessary for prospective members to know anything about stamps or be philatelists in order to join this club. You will be sure to learn all you want under the expert supervision of Mr. Mitchell. Next season we invite more students to share in this enjoyable study The Home of Fine Watches ciuikadouis fynenclt Glut- Le Cercle Frangais Balfour— “Mesdames, Messieurs, il est a present ... .” With these words the C. F. B. gets under way. “Seances” are held regularly every other Monday evening usually in the Alpha Tau room. This year with Miss Clermont as the capable staff adviser the Club got off to a good start. On September twenty-third, the third and fourth year students held an organization meeting in the music room and on October seventh the executive were elected as follows ' President —John Corkis. Secretary Treasurer —Ann Good- murphy. Vice President —Alan Gomez. Social Convener —Marilyn Boyle. There are twenty-one enthusiastic mem¬ bers who share the desire to acquire more fluent French. The programmes consist of singing French songs, listening to French records, games played in French, reading the French newspaper “La Presse,” composing plays and producing skits, perusing the Dupuis catalogue and en¬ joying the occasional social evening. The friendly and interested attitude which prevails at the Club meetings inspires self-confidence thereby enabling all who attend to agree that “les travaux du jour etaient, utiles et agreables.” Page J,8 Balfour Beacon ’J7

Twenty persons made up the membership this year with hopes of expanding and receiving a greater number of members in future years, for we feel sure that this is one club that will become bigger and better. Several meetings were made more interesting by the presence of guest speakers who passed some pointers on to us. Mr. E. Baker of the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool photography department entertained us one evening with colored slides of the north country and Indian settlements. Members were kept hopping all year putting out posters for various clubs including the Alexandra and Kinette Clubs, and decorations for the Hallowe’en and other dances were made by the club under the convenership of Danny Yee Clun. The executive for the year consisted of President, Joe Varro; Vice President, Norah Brandon; Secretary Treasurer, Danny Yee Clun; Social Convener, Alan Bell; Programme Convener, Grayce Fodey, and Activities Convener, Joe Soehn. Prescriptions Carefully Dispensed TEEN - AGERS ! IS YOUR CEILING ZERO ? • No one likes to think that his own ceiling IS zero. We all are fairly sure of our own ability to see ahead is quite as good as the next fellow’s. • Nevertheless, ALL humans are subject to a limited range of vision. That is what makes in¬ dividual planning so difficult. • The welfare of our province is synonymous with the welfare of youth. That is why labour laws have been designed to protect young men and women starting out in life. Not by guesswork . . . not by accident, but by care¬ fully analyzing the experiences of the past and building labour conditions to meet the contingen¬ cies of the future. • Minimum wage laws . . . holi¬ days with pay . . . hours of labour . . . Trade Apprenticeship Training and testing. These and other labour laws provided by your government, assure you of fair and equitable working con¬ ditions when your school days are over. Planning . . . not for today alone, but for the future. SASKATCHEWAN DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR HON. C. C. WILLIAMS Minister W. K. BRYDEN Deputy Minister ' ll n,iteSiA f Club With an eye to the social as well as the creative aspect of the craft, the writers of Balfour decided to form a fraternity this year. Under the direction of Mr. F. Rawlinson, an organization meeting was held early in the fall. The officers elected were: Lew Davidson, President; June Williams, Vice President; Isabel Radu, Secretary; Harold Crossman and Barbara Stemper, Councillors. Mr. Rawlinson was chosen as Adviser to the club and Mr. A. Hodgkins as Honorary President. The club joined the Quill and Scroll, an International High School Journalistic Society, and became the only Regina Chapter’. Members who qualified and were initiated into the Quill and Scroll received the distinctive pin and member¬ ship card. The club is open to students of Third and Fourth year and Special classes. Mr. Don MacMillan accepted the club’s invitation to become its sponsor ' and was initiated with Mr. Hodgkins. Mr. Mac- Mill an autographed the two copies of his book “Only the Stars Know”, which are now in the school library. The purpose of the club is to raise the standards of writing in the school and to encourage the younger students to write by giving them a goal to work for—membership in the Quill and Scroll. fealjjosiu+n As has happened in years gone by, it happened again one bright, crisp October morning, there appeared the first edition of the Balforum for the year 1946-7. However, a lot of preliminary work went beforehand in order to get the first edition ready for the printers. To get this done, the staff of the Balforum was organized under the capable Editorship of June Williams. In years before the Balforum was organized into two staffs— Morning and Afternoon, but this year for purposes of efficiency and consolidation, there was only one staff for both Morning and Afternoon Schools. To get a School Paper out for publica¬ tion means a lot of hard work that most students never stop to think about and a few of the things that have to be done are: 1. Business Manager makes contacts with printers and sets dates for publica¬ tion, etc. 2. Advertising solicitors are sent out next. 3. Editor and Managing Editor hand out the Assignments to the various reporters of the different depart¬ ments. 4. Material comes back to be read and typed. 5. Taken to the printers and galley proofs are made up. 6. Galley proofs are proof-read and Make-up Editor sets up the paper as it will appear. 7. Dummy paper is sent back to printers and a proof copy is received of the actual paper and is proofread again. 8. Paper has reached its final stage—publishing. This is what your Editor and her staff have to go through (no wonder Editors go gray). This has been a big year for “The Balforum”—reporting on the Canadian Aid to China Fund Drive, the Operetta “The Mocking Bird”, Convocation Exer¬ cises, and the last issue which was respect¬ fully dedicated to Mi’. Hodgkins. During the year also, “The Balforum” was sent to all corners of the globe and from these corners lurve come replies of congratula¬ tions on such a swell paper. And out of all this, resulted five issues of the Balforum,—and so—a bouquet to June and her staff for a swell paper, “we’re proud of Tech and its paper”. Page 50 Balfour Beacon ’5 7
