After the preliminary trial period for candi- dates, the following officers were elected: Presi- dent, C. W. Tait, Vice-President, M. Rashishg Secretary, E. Blumenthal. The meetings, well attended, consisted of floor talks in French, musical selections, and various word-games. Special credit for successful meetings should go to Mr. Powers, for his motion pictures of his travels in France and the British Isles, photography, moving-pictures, and Koda- chrome slides proved both informative and use- ful. The dues collected by the club were used to purchase a wide variety of equipment for the use of members. Twice during this most successful year, the club ran photo-contests. One was for begin- ners, and the second for all members Qwon by Daniel McDermott and Earl Cummingsj. Dur- ing May and June the club exhibited its first annual salon in the library. It must be mentioned that it was mainly through the hard work of Mr. Francis P. Carroll, faculty adviser, and Stephen Stavro, a photographer who has made two yearbooks interesting, that the Camera Club enjoyed such an auspicious year. The Wondering', Minstrels 5. .

ramargziw This year the Classical Club has had a very successful year. This success is attributed, for the most part, to the excellent cooperation of all the members. At some time during the year each member delivered a speech on some inter- esting subject concerning Latin or Greek history or literature. Some of the talks were as follows: Educa- tion in Rome g The Roman Forumng Life and Works of Demosthenesng Unionism in Ancient Rome , Greek Mythology , The Influence of Roman Literaturef' The officers for the year were the following: Preridem-LENIN A. BALER Vire P7'?.ff6lE77f-EUGENE LYNE Sec1'efm'y-BENJAMIN F. HANDY Cicero Zeke,' atzhq,flu.6 Under the excellent leadership of Mr. Wil- fred O'Leary and Dr. John Collins, the Debat- ing Club enjoyed one of its most successful years. With the officers Rothstein, Leahy and Casey-and a membership of nearly one hun- dred, the club maintained its high standards of public speaking. The first clash was with Girls' Latin School. The officers of the club successfully matched wits with the young ladies from across the way. From this time on, the speakers of the Boston Latin School were kept busy in meetings with Page Tweuzy-.fix secondary schools and colleges, including M.I.T., Brown, Revere High, English High and Boston College High Schools. In the English- Latin debate Hahn was chosen best speaker. Perhaps most successful evening of the year was held at the Latin School Auditorium. The Latin School Team of Sullivan, Hahn and Roth- stein met the B.C.H. Debating Society. In spite of the eloquent speeches delivered by our oppo- nents, our boys really distinguished themselves. Sumner Rothstein received the best speaker award.
