THE BEAVERBOARD . Seafeif: Mr. Clough, Aa't'imr': Mooney, Murphy, J. Bizzozero. Slfzzzdizzgx D. Childs, O'Hearn, Howenstein, Lavedan. As in the past, The Bt?dL'61'b0:ZWZ,, now in its fifth year, continued to give the school its own paper, primed on the campus. Although the paper is lino- typed by the Wilkinson Press of Newport, the actual printing is done by the boys in the basement of the New. The news is divided into the fields of activities, sports, and humor, with special features being Man of the Issue and hook re- ports. This year the Beaverbomd was capably edited by Jim Murphy and Joe Bizzozero. Alan Mooney deserves special credit for his excellence in directing the Activities Board. Bill Howenstein did a fine job as Sports Editor while Wttlt O'Hearn supplied the school with many laughs as Shovel Editor. As Business Manager, Pierre Lavedan kept the B8Ll'L'6'1'b0lll'Ei in black ink. Once again, Dan Childs, who is one of next year's Editors-in-Chief, was Head Printer. Mr. Clough merits special mention for his careful and tireless supervision of the paper. According to the tradition inaugurated last year the HCi1l'C'1'!im!I'lf staff finished the year with an excellent dinner in Newport. O B

CAMERA CLUB . Sealed: Remick, R. Healy, Lavedan, Godfrey, Slmzdi1zg.' Jo. Williamson, Knoll, Hoyt, J. McDonald. This year, as in the past, the Camera Club started out with very few active members, those on the Photography Board of the Yearbook being the only camera fans to be observed around the campus taking pictures. However, largely through Fred Switzer's efforts, the Camera Club was organized into a flourishing activity, and soon a managing board was drafted to arrange the statutes and club regulations. Following, with the help of Dick Godfrey and Russel Hoyt, the darkroom was painted, and by a well appreciated donation of a print dryer by Mr. Lawrence Hoyt, as well as donations of developing trays and linoleum covers for shelves, given by Bob Healy and Fred Switzer, the necessary working equipment was complete. Soon, though, the cynics began to say, What are the meetings of the Camera Club for? They never seem to do anything. To dispel these objections an exhibition was staged by the club, and it showed that there is good photography technique to be found in the school. The managing Board also dedicated itself to teaching the junior Members, boys with the desire to learn the finer points of developing and printing, the proper darkroom tech- nique. In this manner is the felicitous continuation of an active Camera Club insured. R. H.
