In the first part of the year the boyse' st to-' -i,t,V ifthinking that they would use tie cel jQQQQ2jeJ,ifUfiPm8TY ,yib as a dark-room. The weather'd9Hf?tion?idade it impos- sible for this, so nothing much was accomplished. The officers of the clue were Dick Smith,Presidenq Joe Kerr, Secretary, and the-follow, g boys were members: Frederick Smith, Charles'Le-M han, Warren Abbott, John Chandler, Gregory Stewart, Marshall Wellington, and John Sargeant. Although the club was unable to have any exhibitione, they did take some of the pictures for the Sign. Hr. Wildes was their faculty advisor. WAITERS' CLUB At the end of the fall tern due to the shortage of help, Mr. Turner started the waiter's club. The original five members were Joe Kerr, Earl Florence, David Ellis, Dick Taylor, and Sandy Draper. After a few weeks Kerr, Taylor, and Draper stopped. Tom Thomas and Lorry Wooldredge took their places. Charlie Lcnnihan and John Alden were auxiliaries. The whole crew was doing so well that the faculty decided to give all the waiters a dinner at the Exeter Inn every two wrks. On April fourteenth the members gave up their din- ner and bought war stamps mith.the money. We feel that we owe a lot to the waiter: because they kept us well supplied with food throughout thevdnter and spring terms.

This election differed from last year's in that instead of electing two repre- sentatives from each house, one boy was elected to represent each of the various houses and two were to represent the school at large. These elections took place early in the fall term when all the boyshadtmcome thoroughly acquainted, and in IFeb- ruary just after Christmas vacation.' The election winners in the fall were David Ellis, Hunt House, Dick Handel, Hawthorne Houseg -Gharlie Baker, the Cottage, and John Reed, Emerson House.

The work of the Council was to create a closer unity between the boys and the faculty. To reach this objective Weekly . , meetings with a faculty advisor mere held.
