The constitu- tion was revised. The racks for bicycles which were begun the preceding spring were completed and installed, greatly improving the appearance of the grounds at the rear of the building. Friday afternoon dancing classes were con- ducted for the fourth successive year with many students taking advantage of instruction for a small fee. In April a dance was held to pay for printing Handbooks for Freshmen which are to be dis- tributed next year. Mimeographed booklets of rules were given to Freshmen this year. The extra-curricular limitations program was drawn up and will be put into effect next year. This will make possible a better distribution of offices and activities over a larger number of students. The Red Cross drive netted 3542.15 and the In- fantile Paralysis drive netted 34315. Girls from the Council also solicited in the factories for the Kiwanis Club Milk Fund.

Photography Club The Photography Club of Whitman High School, consisting of 30 sophomores, juniors, and seniors, met in September 1940, and elected officers as follows: Robert Wales, President: Hugh Cox, Treasurer, Evelyn Brown, Vice-Presi- dent: Pauline Lincoln, Secretary. Mr. Gordon W. McKey of the faculty is its capable adviser. For the payment of dues of ten cents per month the members have the privilege of using dark room equipment for developing, printing, and en- larging their own photographs. Much of this equipment is generously lent by Mr. McKey. This year, however, the club has bought its own en- larger from the proceeds of afternoon dances and monthly dues. Meetings are held twice a month, for the execu- tion of club business and also for the purpose of instruction by the adviser. On the afternoon of March 6, the W. H. S. club entertained the Photography Club of Cohasset High School with an exhibition of their work and equipment. Another event first tried this year was an exhibition in the Public Library during the week of March 17. In May when night school was in session, the annual exhibit was held in the assembly hall. The club has done a great deal of fine work this year and has greatly increased individual knowledge of photography.
