1 ff uimD'urQ QaUDU.U't4 age' xxx N October 3, the Camera Club for 1934 a11d 1935 was organized with about thirty-five prospective members present. The following ofiicers were elected: Honorary President: Mr, Henry: President: Bill Scottg Vice-President: Grant Smed- morg Secretary: Kathleen Lacey: Treasurer: Jack Borland. A committee composed of Iris Borland. Gordon Pammett, Bill Turner and Horace Steer, was also chosen. Although in other years the Camera Club had professional photographers as its guest speakers, due to the Christmas rush it was thought better to leave these for the meetings in the new year. As a result, all the meetings were conducted by mem- bers of the club. Seven meetings were held before Christmas. Among the first meetings were those dealing with the fundamental topics, which are printing and developing. Others included Diaphragm Stops and hlargins and Borders. This year the Camera Club has had several meetings which were of great interest to the senior as well as the junior members. Among the first of these was a talk and demonstration to show how to use the Bccomar Camera which the club purchased last year to take the Echoes pictures. This Camera is also lent out to the more experienced members, and can be used for copying pictures and making Christmas Cards. The most interesting meeting of the year was divided into two sections. One of the senior members gave a demonstration on Dry-mounting and another demonstrated how silhouettes are taken. The first meeting of the new year was devoted to a talk and demonstration on enlarging. This year the Camera Club purchased a smaller box camera, which is quite simple to operate and takes sixteen pictures on one roll instead of the usual eight. This camera also is loaned out to the members and has proven very popular. A clock which has long been needed in the dark room has also been purchased. The first contest of the year was held in the hall. A prize was offered for the best picture of the school and was won by Grant Smedmor. This picture was used on the school Christmas Card. As in other years. Mr. Bond. who is one of the Camera Clubs best friends. has kindly oi'l'ered his prize for the ammal contest which closes in lfarch and is now well under way. The prize. a Parker pen and pencil set, is won by the person gaining the highest number of points on the pictures he or she enters. Another important function of the Camera Club during the past th1'ee years has been the taking of all the pictures for the Et-hoes. This year 111: Henry. Grant Smedmor, Bill Scott and Jack Borland have given unsparingly of their time to make the pictures a success. The club wishes to extend its appreciation to lNIr. Henry and all the others who have been instrumental in making all the meetings so successful and interesting. .-58..

Q-: my 1- N E HIC year lflfil was :i successful one in the history of our cadet corps. Upholding the 1'.C7.I. tradition. the cadets put on an excellent display for the inspecting olticcr, Vaptain Mann. Credit for the line exhibition should be given to ltr. Craig. the instructor. Early in the year he called for volunteers for the officers' training course and as a result, he was able to turn out highly trained ofticers for the corps. Inspection day soon arrived and three hundred and ninety-seven cadets were on the grounds ill front of the school, ready to go through their drill. Ceremonial and platoon drills were smoothly carried out. Then a group of cadets gave a fine exhibi- lion of tumbling. The bugle band, headed by E. Westbye, led the corps, and as in other years, rendered yeoman service for the occasion. l After the inspection was completed the inspecting officer addressed the cadets, and complimented them for their fine exhibition. This year the I.O.D.E, shield was awarded to Number One Platoon. commanded by H. Botnick. The cadets then marched down-town. and on their return were treated to ice-cream and cake i11 the school gymnasium. .X dance was held in the gymnasium that night, this concluding the activities of the day. The signallers under the command of G. YYooll, put o11 an excellent demonstra- tion. Later on. they were examined by the district inspector. There were two courses in signalling this year. ltorse and Seinaphore. Those who took instruction in the Morse and passed. received the government bonus of five dollars. Those who were successful in Semaphore received two dollars. The ambulance corps also took an active part in the inspection under the com- mand ot' H. Davidson. llany of the cadets qualified for their junior certificates. In preparation for 1935. an ofiicers' training course has been started. The f-ignallers' corps and rifle team have also been formed. lltv? ' 'l L ae JK anal ,Ei a i 'ILLX . . ,- ,, .. .
