This station is the outgrowth of the combined eltorts of Lawry, adviser Mr. Ward, and other mem- bers ofthe Club, who, by selling candy bars, raised the money necessary for the enterprise, The W2T.lFl2, as the station is called, is serving a two-fold purpose: it enables foreign students to communicate with their homes and it gives boys who are interested in electronics an opportunity to do some preparatory work in the field. Some of the stations with which the St. Paul's club has made contact are in Alabama, Mississippi, New Jersey, and Cuba. Ably advised by Mr. Ward, the Club has drawn up a constitution and elected as its oflicers president William Lawry, vice-president Thomas Morrione, secretary John Fliedner, and treasurer Thomas Hogan. ervers ' Qiuilcf Since the founding ofthe Servers' Guild some ten years ago and of the Sacristans' Guild this year, St. Paul's has never been at a loss for servers. ln those ten years almost two hundred and titty boys have participated in the various services. This year's president of both Guilds, .lon Bren- ner, with the invaluable assistance of the assistant sacristans Clayton, Harris, and Longnecker, sets up the chapel for the morning, evening, and Holy Eucharist services. Every member of the Servers' Guild serves once every two weeks. The sacristans alternate once every four weeks in supervising the 7:00 a.m. Eucharist. Father Geerts, school chaplain, has shown great interest in both guilds and has given valuable advice and assistance. The four sacristans are all boarders and represent the four different Forms.

Meetings, consisting of a business session and a discussion portion, were held every two weeks. The business section usually consisted mainly of electing new members and of making plans for the future. When the business was completed, the meetings usually turned into heated discussions of world affairs. An added attraction of the Club was its field trips. During the year excursions were made to the Federal Reserve Bank, the New York Stock Ex- change, the United Nations Building, and the New York Times. rmlzotograplzg This year, as in the last tour years, the Photog- raphy Club has made tremendous progress not only in its facilities but also in the quality of its photo- graphic productions. This progress has been made possible by the guidance of Mr. Canning, the ad- viser, and the financial support of the Mothers' Association. Among the newly made purchases are fifteen lockers and numerous developing trays. All equip- ment is used under the supervision of the older members who have the ditticult task of training the newcomers. With the newly acquired facilities, the quality and the quantity of the photographs have increased. The work ofthe Club has been used by bath the Sigillum and the Record. According to the constitutional provisions, the Club elected as their officers Adrian Courtenay president, Richard Thomas secretary, and Richard Levy treasurer.

Qiofogy As a result of the increased interest in science in St. Paul's, a bi- ology club has been formed for the first time with the purpose of performing advanced dissections. Two days after the club's con- stitution was completed on March 9, the fifteen new members started on their first specimen, the turtle, guided by faculty advisor Claude Casey. There is a business meeting of the club once a month, but dis- sections are carried on by members during their free time.
