Last vcar this club was in its infancv with a great numbel 0f Sophomores and only a few Freshmen; at the beginning of this xv 1r cunsequcntlv there were just a few veterans, i so we had to train many new meinbcrs.

Now 115 all 01' 01'111 L I wonder if we shall ever realize the usefulness of the art of taking pie- tures. How many times does one take a trip, come home and have only his memory to remind him of it! How much nicer it would he too, 11' he could open a book and have the whole journey there 111 picture. XVith a view to encouraging such wholesome pastimes, and for the sake of art, itself, the Camera Club was organized in January, 1923, with the aid of Mr. Jenkins. 0111' business meetings are much the same as any other club, but when programs are carried out, then is the time we have fun! Each member brings his camera to the meetings, and each one takes some pictures. At the next meeting we compare them, criticize them, and thus learn how to secure better results in the future. Sometimes We take trips to Eden Park 01' Burnet lYomls, when each member tries to get the best picture. The results are not only instructive, but often very amusing. The Camera Club is the 'tinfant clubt' of East High School, as it was not organized until the second term; but, neverlheless, infants grow and become strong, and so do clubs. 11111.1 B. SMITH. 97

LEROY REICHEBT HE Debating Club meets every Tuesday afternoon in the White Club Room under supervision of Miss Aldrich During the year we have had very interesting and worth-while meetings. Some of the subjects treated were: The League of Nations, Government Aid for the Merchant Marine, The Coal Situation, The Parliamentary vs. the Presidential Sys- tem of Government, Should the Cincinnati Traction Comany Pay the Franchise Tax, and the French Policy in the Ruhr Valley. The debate with the Philologians was on the subject of the Ship Subsidy. The Debating Club was represented by John Martin and Mildred Gunkel. Harry Smith and Dorothy Ferris, alternate Reva Hawkins, were the speakers for East High against Steele, supporting the affirmative side of the question: Resolved, That the United States Should Enter the League of Nations. The members believe that this club is one of the best at East High, and they will carry away with them many pleasant memories of the good times they have had. DOROTHY FERRIS. 99
