It may seem that we are wasting the type and presses at our disposal, but we are still in the process of organizing. Last year the Print Club was virtually dead. There were no old mem- bers. Therefore, the officers set a standard for membership which was hoped to insure an in- crease in membership and activity in the fu- ture. To join, each boy must work for two hours at sorting or cleaning type. We were surprised and pleased by the number of sincere candi- dates who turned out. Our main piece of work was the program for the football and soccer games with Nobles. Thanks to Holcombe, Bradlee, Whelton, cider, pizza, and Stokey's ditto machine, these pro- grams were ready by game time. We think the programs helped everyone, and, we hope, were appreciated. Since our principle function is to furnish some good, 'clean' fun, we consider ourselves one of the most successful clubs on the campus. This will continue to be true if there are members who can laugh at their mistakes and enjoy the hard work. The M. A. Press First Row: Baker, Willis, Whelton, Mr. Duncan, Bradlee, Pappas, Swett.

The Motor C lub There are several basic features of a school such as Milton which make a truly active automobile club a very difficult sort of organization to establish and maintain. Boarding restrictions and the vast amount of work to be done are prime examples. Nevertheless, the Motor Club can, and does, offer a great deal to those willing to put time and effort into it. Last fall, the club began the year by using the new system of interviewing prospective members, instead of choosing from a list of names. This proved very worthwhile, resulting in a pro- nounced emphasis on lower class membership. Later in the year, Sergeant Robert Panora of the State Registry gave his third talk to a Milton group, and once again gave us an interesting and informal show. The meeting was open to non- members, and was extremely well attended. Another safety talk, even less formal, was delivered to Wigg Hall by Jack Pappas after Christmas. Rather than having a project to work on and complete, a plan which has usually resulted in the activity of only a small fraction of the club, there have been several mechanical units available to be inspected and worked on by those interested. All the basic functioning units of automobiles were included, having been selected for simplicity and ease of demonstration. Movies and short side trips completed the list of activities in this both suc- cessful and interesting year. ai 5 Q 5 , Nt K ?fm'f pfi I I W A ig, The engine ' is

A meeting, believe it or not The Historical Society this year, due to many conflicts with other clubs, and inability to ob- tain top-flight speakers on the relatively few free evenings, was very inactive during the fall term. Mr. Elliott Perkins, however, of Har- vard, gave a very good dissertation on some considerations of the usage of history. He set forth a few basic reasons for studying history, placing particular emphasis upon its practical applications. Following the lecture, there was the traditional and revealing question and answer period, highlighted by Nick Littlef1eld's pene- trating questions about Harvard. President Pierce Mr. Alfred Bingham also came and lectured to us on March ll, about his recent trip to Russia. This illustrated lecture was particularly good in that Mr. Bingham was able to compare the Rus- sia which he had seen in 1931, with the Russia he saw last summer. Mr. james Burnham, the well known writer, came on April 22, to speak on contemporary affairs of a political nature especially. This lec- ture was a very thought provoking one indeed. As always, our thanks should be extended to Messrs. Feather, Bisbee fE.J, and Bulfington for their continual guidance and help.
