The C6l'l'l2l'6 This year we have had very fine attendance records at most of the meetings. The Club has been divided into two groups. the Juniors and the Seniors. These groups meet on alternate Wednesdays, the Juniors taking the elementary steps of photo- graphy and the Seniors doing more advanced work. The members of the Camera Club have been very active this year. A number of them have had Work displayed in the Club show-case beside the Assembly Hall door. During the Autumn a Camera Club hike was held which was well attended. Despite t h e strong wind and frequent dis- appearance of the sun behind clouds, several of the members made fine shots of Jackson Park bridge. As usual, the Club handled the selling of the school Christ- mas cards. During the Autumn several pictures of Grades IX, X and XI were taken and it is expect- ed that more will be taken in the spring. Our large five-by- seven inch plate camera is equipped with a new Tessar lens, one of the best which can be bought. The use of this lens insures sharpness over th e whole picture area, even to the extreme edges.

During the year we have added several items to our equipment. Among these are: a Kalart synchronizer for Hash shots of action, an F-R roll- developing tank, two chromium plates for giving a shiny finish to prints and two devices for insuring sharp focusing with the enlarger and the Recomar cameras. On behalf of the members of th Camera Club. I would like to thank Mr. V. R. Henry, whose work has made possible the ex- istence and success of the Camera Club. J.T. Miss Irma Wright She came, she typed, she left us spell-bound. In January members of the commercial classes were privileged specta- tors of a demonstration of typ- ing by Miss Irma Wright of the Underwood - Elliot - Fisher Co. Ltd. For three quarters of an hour the students gazed in open-mouthed wonderment as her skilled fingers skimmed gracefully over the keys at a rate of more than one hundred and thirty words a minute. The perfect coordination between brain and fingers, exemplified by her typing bespoke hours of persevering practice and a comprehensive study of her art. Though all of us who watched her cannot become World Champion Amateur Typist, as Miss Wright has, Csome of us may not even surpass medio- crityj we were inspired to a more vigorous and scientific study. Canada Packers This year once again the Canada Packers Ltd. sponsored a contest for the benefit of Grade XI Commercial a n d Special Commercial. On March 14, Mr. George Batley, repre- senting his tirm, awarded iirst, second, and third prizes to Miss Edna Borland, Austin Haig, and Donald Metheral respectively. Dr. Kenner expressed the gratitude which we all sincerely felt towards Canada Packers for giving the students an op- portunity of gaining practical experience in the Art of adver- tising. fSee Im-ide Front Coverj Page Forty-three

This year the club has numbered about thirty girls who have met once a week under the capable leadership of Miss Weddell.

Suddenly cheers rang through the air, and there! there was the Queen, lovely beyond words! She drove with Lady Tweedsmuir to the opposite building, where she too could watch the King review his soldiers. The King arrived to roaring cheers.

They paraded to the well-known Grenadiers' March played for centuries in this ancient ceremony. What a glorious day! The sun shone on the great crown hoisted on the entrance door of the Parliament Buildings. In the tower the bells softly tolled out O Canada . Then trumpets sounded and the trample of horses' hoofs echoed around this square massed with cheering people! Above all this uproar, Canada's Big Ben rang out twelve bells. He, perched high-up over this fair city, had witnessed another glorious page in history.--M.S.
