The club will lose a number of its members through gradua- tion, some of which were very active in the founding of the organization.They are Rex Horney, Kenneth Johnson, Lyle Nel- son, Raymond Guilinger, and Eugene Smith. This organization is made up of the boys winning var- sity letter awards. Its purpose is to promote athletics and determine athletic awards. It has proved active in its field and will probably be more so in the future. KANDID KAMERA KLUB At the beginning of this year some of the members of the commercial classes,' under the supervision of Miss Jamison, formed a club, the Kandid Kamera Klub. The students formed a constitution and this set forth the organ- ization's rules--namely: all members had to attend at least two out of every three meetings, to have a meeting at least twice a month, to present a certain amount of pictures twice a month for approval, etc. The officers selected were as follows: Erma Speck, president, Henrietta Bryant, vice- president, and Dorothy Ketchum, secretary and treasurer. On February 29, l94O the club elected Erma to represent them in the Student Council, and also on that date they initiated three new members into their club. The new members were Vivian wetander, Rex Horney, and Margaret Ross. For initiation these members were to get snap shots of cer- tain teachers and students who were very difficult to get in unexpected poses. Some of the students haven't obtained this goal yet but most likely will before the time closes for all snap shots to be in, The activity of the club was limited chiefly to indi- vidual work this year but in years to come it will probably become more organized and will be even more successful.
