CEa1o1zJ Lens Club gave experienced and talented photographers a chance to work in the laboratories creatively, and to do work other than their photography class assignments. Under the sponsorship of lXIrs. Crane, the activities were few but unlimited in scope, due to the relatively simple function of the club. President Gordon lllaller, and Secretary-Treas- urer Douglas Booth presided over the biweekly meetings. At the Halloween Party, the club had a booth in which members took and sold pictures of the students. A contest was also held among members: two student models were invited to sit for the photographers, and the best pictures won in the competition. To give the members a chance to talk to fellow model- ers, to gain something in the exchange of methods and ideas, to learn about their hobbies, and to have fun, were the goals of lylodel Clubfl stated Secretary-Treasurer llflar- ty Cahill.

Players of varying skills attended the weekly meetings, and classes in beginning and advanced bridge were offered by club sponsor lVIr. Bosshart.
