THE EPITOME 69 p Camera Club P1'8.Vld01lf-ALLEN KLOPP St?CI'EfCU'j'-vVILI.IA1KI BALL Vice-President'-jonN HEFFLEGER T7'60Slt7'E7'-EUGENE Kisrnk NVell, fellows, here we are again with another successful season tucked under our belts. Our membership is not what would be classed as fabulously large, but it is growing each year, as the under-classmen realize the advantages which this organization affords. Thanks to our faithful and energetic officers, the club has been steadily ad- vancing in quantity and quality, but the quantity is not the headliner in the advanc- ing list. Draw your own conclusions. You know the old saying, Quality, not quantity. Say, fellows, while we are on the subject: Do you realize that you can follow our programs by reading the announcements and observing the pictures posted in our bulletin board? VVhat? Yes, we have one. NVe shouldn't be surprised if many of the students were like you and never knew it to exist. It wouldn't be a bad idea if you and the rest of the fellows would slow up in your rush to classes. A glance at the board now and then wonit interfere with your studies in the least. In fact, it may improve them, as it may persuade you that the Camera Club is worthy of your membership. It is a mighty good club, which we think you would like immensely. W'e have very interesting meetings, due to the arguments, debates and stunts which the members exhibit there. These meetings are both entertaining and educational, and improving continually as the interest of the members increases. You could help! XVhy don't you? Wie expect even a better season next year, although, we are sorry to say, we are losing some of our members by graduation. Wfell, that cannot be helped, and we wish these members every success in the future.

THE EPITOME 71 The Orchestras ' After a somewhat disconcerting start, the orchestra gained its stride and com- pleted a successful term. From the early part Of the semester until the end Of the foot ball season, practically all attention was devoted to the band. Thus, previous to Thanksgiving the orchestra made little progress, although Once started it ad- vanced rapidly. The climax of this short but eminently successful season was Commencement, when the Orchestra presented a caliber of music very different from what it had ever before attempted. For its weeks of hard work spent in pre- paring these selections it earned well-merited applause. The brass and wood sections were enriched by several instruments hitherto lacking, which lent added tone quality tO the playing. The Class of ,29 June is to be congratulated on the line spirit of many of its members, who did not hesitate to try out for the orchestra at the beginning of the term. As usual, no little credit for the success of the organization is due to Mr. Middleton, the capable director. PERSONNEL Director- S.
