Tlif Rm' amz' Blank. 25 Eb? GZEIIIICFH Club. HIS society was organized soon after the removal to i the new building, and, though the membership has always been small, it has done a large amount of work, chieliy due to the untiring efforts of Prof. Pattison. The most extensive thing the club has ever attempted was the exhibition of views in Association Hall, which took place in the spring of '96, for the benefit of the in- terior decoration of the school. Under the able leader- ship of Prof. Pattison, an interesting collection of views was made which, with the assistance of the various musical clubs of the school, rendered the evening enjoy- able as well as financially successful. ' So far, this year, the work has consisted principally of the making of slides for another exhibition to take place some time in May. The club has received lately an exhi- bition lantern, so that it is now in a position to give its own exhibitions. The officers and members are : Pre.vz'a'ef1i, - - XVILLIAM H. VVOGLOM.
