The Camera Club's main effort this year was the putting out of its annual calendar. After all of the time that had been put into its preparation, the club was overwhelmed and pleased, to say the least, at the complete sellout in three days. Nobody was greeted this year at the Christ- mas Glee Club Concert by the smiling face of a calendar seller, for the calendars were gone. Their popularity seems to be attributed to the two-tone, Orange and Blue cover, the new format the calendar's ability to stand up, and the good photographs. We hope that next year's club will have more printed and follow our example of selling them all. 7 The First Class's participation in the club this year was not as good as it might have been, and the major work on the Calendar and in the darkroom was done by the second classmen. Be- cause of this, and the fact that this year's presi- dent C. Bolton and vice-president P. Parks soon became involved in producing this fine publica- tion, the new elections for 1960 were held at mid-years. This idea was brought up last year, and this seemed a good time to make the switch. So far the change has been most successful and enabled us to increase our Spring activity.

q 1 iw. 'H 3 Mr. Norris presides Society In dual competition this year, the Debat- ing Society was undefeated, winning decisions over Winsor, Roxbury Latin, and Noble and Greenough. The team's constructive speakers were Walter Mack and john Burnham, who pre- pared extensive cases on the Supreme Court ques- tion, Cuba, and Algeria. Prior to the debate with Roxbury Latin on the Cuba question, Bolton and Norris had the unusual privilege of a private interview with a well-known economics expert who has lived in Cuba for twenty years. They were followed by cross-examiner Charlie Bolton, who usually brought down the house, and rebut- talist Bob Norris, who never failed to bring down the opponents' case. Special thanks are due to Mr. Norris and Mr. johnson, both of whom spent many hours or- ganizing and advising the Society, and we hope next year's competitors may preserve our oral tradition.

president K. Bolton the best of luck hoping that their calendar will be exceptionally good hav- ing a full range of months to work on it. Improvements in the darkroom were again made - a new dryer and a new enlarger were purchased out of the accumulated funds pro- vided for us by our able finance geni, T. Swett and secretary Witherby. Two people were then able to print 35 mm. negatives at the same time, which helped out tremendously with all of the photographic work in this book. Friday night figures who highlighted our meetings this year were Mr. Bassett, who spoke on the composition of a picture at our first meeting, and must have made an impression judging from the calendar, and some informal slide showings by members Burgin and Brigham. A trip to Franklin Park in the Spring added an elephantine note to the program. Activity in the darkroom was great. Never did Club more than one day go by when you could not find our avid crew of V.B. Cunningham, Witherby, Kitchin or Sylvester busy at work and verbal combat. The number of people in the darkroom became so great, however, that the new regime initiated some new law codes which tended to keep a bit more order, both among the people using the room, and the vari- ous jars of chemicals therein. The bulletin board had some good exhibits up on it, - one that we will all long remember was Brigham's all color 8x10 show of pictures he had developed and printed himself. Our guiding hand of experience, never-ending help and patience has been Mr. Bradford Herzog, and to him we are truly grateful. The club is a true club in that its members run it, and we are proud of this fact, as we are proud to have such 21 willing advisor. Judging from the enthusiasm in the second class this year, the club should if possible be even more active next year. Meeting S Sorting calendars
