is and game ssociatzlon The Milton Fish 61 Came Club has ex- panded greatly this year from the small group of enthusiasts who first started the organization two years ago. lt has begun a new half-member system which allows all interested boys to attend Club lectures and movies at Friday night meetings as half-members. yet deprives them of the voting power. The Club has had a number of lectures and movies this year. Mr. Monroe of the Nlassachusetts Conservation Department talked on the stocking and mechanics of Fish Ilatcheries. The Club was privileged to have Nlr. O. ll. P. Rodman, of Hunting it Fi-Yllillrff Magazine, speak on Striped Bass fishing. Members ol' the Norfolk Fishing Club came and gave a very instructive session on fly-casting. Rolf Olson gave a lecture on guns, and jim Mumford showed us slides of salmon fishing. VVe have also seen hunting and Hshing movies from two out- door magazines. On May 9 and 10, a group of five gllll- ners from the Club went with Rolf Olson to his home in Clinton, Conn., from which they went to a nearby target range to have a day of shooting. They also watched a l'll'l0-l'2lI1gl' lll2ltCh ill PrOgl'CSS. The Club. which is set up to encourage participation and interest not only in hunt- ing and fishing, but also in conservation, wishes Bill North and john VVylde, who will head next years outdoorsmen, a sue- cessful year in carrying out this ideal.

Jim! G af BIRD CLUB Nobili, Ticknor, Mr. Morrison, Parker, Ehrlich Raymond, Heard, Emery, Bigelow, XVallcr The Milton Academy Bird Club still holds the distinguished mark of being thc smallest, and probably most exclusive, club on the campus with a total of nine mem- bers. The yearis activities centered about nu- merous field trips to Newburyport. The Club first drove there on October 12, where it spent most of the morning. In the after- noon, the group worked its way back along the coast to Nahant. The total number of birds sighted was thirty-one. On the day after Thanksgiving an in- formal group of four traveled there again. It was cold! That day, 24 species were seen, Knots and an especially good view of some Lapland Longs compensated for the low temperature. Fog and rain forced an early return on March 15, even so, thirty different types were recorded around Plum Island and Newburyport. A great help on this trip was Chan Bigelowis telescope, which in- creased opportunities tremendously. Activities in later spring centered less on group hikes and more on individual re- cordings, including a number of walks to the Milton Cemetery. One of the features of the Club that makes it unique is the appeal of wandering out into the country on a beautiful Sunday morning. It is a relatively unimportant matter to record the number of birds or varieties seen. The Club wishes to thank the Morrisons for their Sunday morning breakfasts, mak- ing early starts possible. It also thanks its President, Stan Emery, and extends good luck to incoming officers Ted Raymond and Steve Heard for the 195-1 season.

The Camera Club and the Science Club financed the produc- tion which was begun in September and shown to an audience of four hundred on April 24th and 25th. The fall months were spent in organiza- tion. During that time the production crew was set up and necessary permissions con- sidered. Details as to type of film fKoda- ohromej and style of sound recording fmagnetic tapej were settledg contacts with the Eastman Kodak Company and local distributors of equipment, make-up, and costumes were established. The plot and casting occupied the early Winter months. Tony Bradley and Carlos Segura became the leads in a story dealing with the career of a Russian, Leschenkov. who fought in the Russian Revolution and murdered the Tsar. Himself assassinated, Leschenkov was confined to the horrors and beauties of Hell. In 1952 the hero returned to Russia, the film was climaxed by a comic chase through the streets of Boston by the combined motocycles, automobiles, and men of the Russian Secret Police. fContinued on Page 741
