Thus far tht- club has had only thru- nn-1-tings, at whit-ll wt- dec-idt-d to writt- pot-try of our own to bt- brought to tht- mt-1-tings for t-ritif-ism and for hc-lpful suggostions. YW- hope by tht- 1-nd of tht- yt-ar to be abla- to prost-nt to the library a f-ollt-r-tion ot' Malyt-rn vt-1-sc-. As wt-ll as writing poetry, we art- 1-ndt-avouring to rt-ad tht- works of famous pot-ts. to study their livt-s and 11010 tht- iutlut-uc-t- on tht-ir writings. Noun- of the aims of tht- Pot-try t lub art- to liromotf- an intt-rt-st in writing and reading pot-try. and possibly to bring some wt-ll-known pot-ts to the sc-hool as spt-aka-1-s. Bt-tsy M1-Mastt-r.

It was callt-d to ordt-r by Mr, Bailt-y with twolvt- of tht- Q-nrollt-d t-ig-litt-Q11 nn-mln-rs pre-st-nt. Tln- t-lt-4-ting of offic-t-rs was tht- first item on the programg it was dt-Gidt-d that F. lvl'l1lll13l'T should till tht- otfir-o of president and Miss IJ. XVHIQ' that of the sc-c-rc-tary-treasurt-r. The subjt-vt of intt-1'-form dt-bating was brought up, and tht- qut-stion was wln-tht-r to haw- debating among thc various forms. or to kt-op dt-hating only within the club. Howt-vor, at a mt-1-ting ht-ld l,t'CPIlllJL'I' Sth. it was dt-vida-d to have debating bt-twt-on tht- forms with pi't-ft-1'4'-lice given to those- who we-rv membc-rs of the club. Thi-n the qut-stion aroso as to those nn-nibf-rs who would bc unabltf to bt- on a form tt-am, and it was dc-c-idx-d that debating teams be found within tht- c-lub. and tht-y in turn would dt-batv against the winnc-rs of tln- lllltl'-fOl'l1l dt-hating tt-anis. So far our fic-ld of activity has not bot-n outstanding but I have great, hopes as to its suc-f-oss. Frm-dt-rick Vrquhart. -59-
