ORRECT ])arlianientary procedure, free f s])eech, and tolerance of opposing opinion were the ideals of the Public S] eaking Club which has completed a very successful year. Mrs. Hornsey’s excellent advice and sug- gestions turned the efforts of the nieinhership into the proper channels. Public forums by club members furnished the club with much opi)ortunity for individual tr ain- ing in platform speaking and ])roved informative by hrinsing out cross sections of opinion. The Club met with some success in interscho- lastic debates as evidenced by unanimous decisions in its favor in debate with two Concord teams. Another debate with Somerville, held before the Senior class at an assembly, was lost hut fur- nished opportunity for public appearance. Club officers: Hillard W ' elch, President; Ralph Coon, Vice-President ; Gloria Lepore, Secretary ; and Rhoda Pearlmutter, Treasurer. [ 17]

DL a amETia ry HE Camera Club, organized in Novein- her under the sponsorship of Mr. Ship- man and Miss Coring, soon grew to be a popular rendezvous for photogTaphy enthusiasts. MMrk and play were shared by all . There were several interesting programs put on during the year by the members. The more amateur members were shown elementary en- larging and printing while the more advanced talked technically of lenses, and composition seemed to interest all. Some of the most inter- esting programs were j)ut on through the courtesy of Eastman Kodak Company consisting of lec- tures and slides on subjects of interest to all. A dark room was cleared and ecjuipped for use through mutual effort by the members of the club and the cooperation of Mr. Shipman by giv- ing the use of his enlarger. The prints that have been appearing in the library are the winners of the “Print of the Month” Contest.
