Our membership is not very large, but the fellows that come around are all wide awake and take an active part in the clubis activities. XVe have at lastx succeeded in getting a case in the hall, and from time to time many interesting pictures can be seen there. Cn Sunday, June 6, the Camera Club took a hike over Neversink Mountain. Everybody that was along had a very good time. Many pictures were taken, some of which may be seen in the case in the hall. . The Camera Club, as usual, took many of the pictures for the Epitome. Among these are the Zelos, Philos, Debaters and the club itself. Although the graduating class will decrease the number enrolled, the incoming class will, no doubt, make up for this. Donlt forget, fellows, we have our meetings every Monday morning in room 307, and everybody is invited, especially the lower classmen. In closing, We Want to say that the Camera Club Wishes success to the mem- bers of the Class of '26 june.

In spite of the reduced membership the past season, there has been great progress made by the society. Its leaders and its hardest workers have been active in our numerous debates and oratorical contests. They have shown great speaking ability and are bound for even greater success as orators. They have won honors for our school and have strengthened its reputation for good public speakers. The achievements of our society reflect on the ardent work of its active members and the untiring efforts of our faculty advisor, Mr. Wliit- man. He has instilled into our members something of his own spirit, ambition and ability. The Zelosophic Literary Society, with its systematically arranged programs, has trained many in the arts of speaking. Every semester it is cus- tomary for us to send out a call for new members. However, we seek only those who are willing to co-operate with the other members in upholding the standards of the society and those who will work enthusiastically to reach the goal attained by many of our graduates in the past. We wish to congratulate and thank our graduating members for their continued interest and achievements in this society. The best wishes for continued success are extended to you by your brother Zelos.

THE RPITOME 81 O Tlhespnans hlouN I'lElLMAN, President FRED IQAUFFMAN, Vice-Pwsrideziit Tian PRICE, Treasmfer IXRTHUR ERICKSON, SL'L'1'6ZllZ7'j' ROBERT HERSITEY, Chaplain VVith the close of another season at hand, we have cause to look back and observe the progress made by our dramatic society since its organization in the spring of 19244. At the time when our club came into existence there was no other organization of its kind in the school, and today it stands as an example of the earnest and untiring eHorts of its members and faculty advisors. Mr. Fendell sponsored its organization, and, after a small group of students started it, he helped to inaugurate its successful career. Its pur- pose has always been to develop the talents of its members to as high a degree as possible. It has acted as a school of elocution, and has produced some very line actors. Although this society is young, its members have presented four plays, all of which were thoroughly enjoyed by large audiences. The first president to take up the reins of the Thespians was Stanley VVarkoczewski. The fall of 1924 found Morris VVerner at the helm with Mr. Dech as faculty advisor. The older members will remember the great strides taken under VVerner's leadership. Blaine Diefenderfer, one of our hardest and most enthusiastic workers, led the society to even greater achievements in the spring of 1925. Under his reign we presented our first public performance, which scored a hit and firmly established the Thespians as an active and deserving organization of the school. During the past year we were fortunate in having as our president Johnny Heil- man. All who know Johnny realize that the society could not possibly have a more capable leader, The weekly Thespian program is always bound to please. These programs are ar- ranged with a view to gaining a knowledge of all phases of dramatic art. We take this opportunity to wish success to our graduating members, many of whom were among the charter members of the club. Thanks to their unfailing efforts, we are able to look forward to even greater achievements and continued success.
