This year, the Motor Club, under the direction of Tox Bentinck-Smith and the guidance of Mr. Williams, has made a big step toward recognition as a reputable, active club. There have been many worthwhile projects accom- plished during the year. First, there was an extensive exam given to all old and prospective members. The results were used as a criterion for the election or rejection of new members and as an incentive for the old. There has been a 1938 Ford V-8 engine with supervision and advice avail- able throughout the year for all those who wanted it, in the form of an informal meeting once a week. Second, there has been a safe driving program, including a talk to the club by Inspector Panora. On the lighter side, there has been an occasional racing film for the benefit and amusement of all, featuring Le Mans, 1954 and 1955. There was also an expedition to the Larz Anderson Antique Auto Museum open to the antique enthusiasts. The president is quoted as saying, This has been our most productive year so far. We have had very strong interest in the club proj- ects and, I think, have supplied many with valuable experi- ence in Automobilia. With the invaluable and patient aid of Mr. Williams, I hope I have paved the way for a prolific next year and have attained a good reputation for the club.

Activities ran the gamut from painting the darkroom floor and walls to producing a calendar with a ten inch photo- graph for each month. A highlight of the club's year was a Friday night meet- ing at which Mr. Charles Asbrand, an industrial photog- rapher, gave an illustrated lecture on his hobby, color photography of Boston fires. New equipment for the darkroom included: a develop- ing tank with reels, a seventy dollar print washer which replaced an inefficient tray, and electrical wiring in the back room, giving more space in the main printing room, where drying had been done previously. New this year, also, was the plan of letting any member use all the free photographic paper he wanted. A box of paper was put in the darkroom, and it was soon evident that the plan had served its purpose well. Mr. Herzog, faculty advisor, says this plan will continue next year, with Kodak Polycontrast paper provided. Members have kept the club bulletin board full of in- teresting shots. The value of these exhibits was in making known some of the tricks and techniques of good photog- raphy. Next year's student heads are Peter Parks and Charles Bolton who can very well provide an even more profitable year.
