Tri-C The Colts' Camera Club had a very enjoyable and successful year, in spite of working under difficulties through the loss of many of its members by graduation. One of the most interesting meetings was one in the form of a Held trip. This was held at Belle Isle during the first part of the semester, as the island always does furnish beautiful pictures. This splendid trip gave to the mem- bers a good selection for pictures. As a form of amusement there was staged a treasure hunt in which all members eagerly took part. Following this came the lunch of goodies and other such dainties as are expected on a picnic. The purpose and aim of this club is first, to give a variety of exhibits: and second, to improve in taking pictures and to profit by and enjoy the criticisms given the pictures by the faculty advisers and other experts on photography, There were several social meetings held during the terms, and with Helen Campbell as chairman of the program committee there were many interest- ing and beneiicial programs given. These social meetings were topped with refreshments, which always make an event be proclaimed as enjoyable. The success of the club was due to the faculty adviser, Mrs. Holmes, together with its efficient officers and the co-operation of its members. The officers of the year were: President, Mildred Cloonan fly, 425: vice-presi- dent, Helen Campbell Qld, Q23 g secretary, Alice Beckerson tlj, QZJ 3 treasurer, Virginia Baxter CU, t2AJg and the student council representative, Grace M.

Northwestern Scientific Society The purpose of the Northwestern Scientific Society is to give those stu- dents: interested in science the opportunity to see more of the practical and industrial phases of science. To accomplish this, Professor Coates. of the City College of Detroit, was secured to give a very interesting demonstra- tion of liquid air, and trips were made to the Ford River Rouge plant once during each semester. The society did a great deal toward creating interest in the Chemistry Essay Contest, and during November, a meeting was devoted to speeches on the subject by Mr. Rivett. and the several members of the Scientific Depart- ment. They gathered together pamphlets from the leading industries of Michigan to help the students to obtain material, In January, Professor St. Peter of the University of Michigan gave very interesting discussion of the atom. The lirst meeting of the second semester was held in the auditorium and all members of the chemistry and physics classes were invited to hear Mr. Rivett tell the Story of Iron and Steel. The faculty advisers for the fall term were Mrs. Condon and Mrs. Craw- ford.
