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

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.

Oil During the 1952-'53 school year, the Milton Academy Troop of the Boy Scouts enjoyed one of their most active seasons in recent years. Chief among the accom- plishments of the 25 boys comprising Troop 9 was the establishment of the Scout headquarters in the former skate house on the shores of Lake O,Hare. In the spring months, the room was painted gay hues and the equipment of the organiza- tion was removed from the gym. The proj- ect was culminated by a gala open house late in May. Another major change instituted this year concerned the renaming of the patrols. The four previous units were done away with and three new patrols, the Sabres, Scorpions, and Baccoons were set up. Meetings were held as before every Fri- day night when there were no other school coats events scheduled. The agenda often in- cluded talks by guests after the opening exercises. At other times, discussions and sessions in knot tying and other subjects were held. Each meeting included some contest between the three patrols, and re- freshments were often served afterward. In addition, there were a few week-end trips and hikes to nearby points of inter- est. The Scout cup was awarded to Phippy Weld at the end of the year in recognition of his attainments in Scouting. Many thanks are due Mr. Remick for taking over the job of Scoutmaster, and supervising the reorganization of the Troop. Much is also owed the Patrol Lead- ers and Harry Cratwick, the Senior Patrol Leader. Best of luck to Mr. Bemick and his Troop in ,53-,54.
