PHOTOGRAPHIC SOCIETY
We started much the same as previous years with four successive Mondays brief instruction in taking photographs and processing. This was followed up by several weeks of "practical" in which the beginners have an opportunity to use the darkroom under supervision.
Before the first Society meeting the committee held its own meeting to decide on the distribution of members among the years in the School, and the question of presidency. We found we had too many older boys and very few potential younger boys. This would have meant a big step back in a few years when these older boys left. To remedy this we have selected many more younger boys.
In the past we have had a president and committee elected at the beginning of the year, but since this was more a popularity competition than one of efficiency, we replaced the campaigns for presidency with another system. We have a committee of nine senior and experienced boys each who are president for a month at a time. This gives all nine of us the chance of being president instead of the burden resting on one boy.
I think it can be said that the attitude towards photography has changed for the better amongst our members. In previous years a number of boys joined only because they had to do a hobby and photography seemed the biggest dodge. We have nobody feeling that way this year and there is, amongst the younger boys particularly, an unusual enthusiasm.

VOLUNTARY SERVICE COMMITTEE
The Voluntary Service Committee began this term. We have representatives in each house. At first it seemed we had started for no reason, until Mrs Sanders came.
Mrs Sanders represented the Sue Ryder Fund which looks after people who suffered in concentration camps in the last war. Her lecture was original and it held our attention, without even a bored whisper, for fifty minutes. The terribly gruesome detail she gave appealed to the whole hall and while the images were still fresh in their minds, we swooped on them and collected £23. This was our chance to show our active assistance.
Later we collected money for the Earl Haig Fund by selling poppies. We are planning in the future to find old people in Dunblane who would benefit from odd jobs we could do for them. We are also considering sending boys who wish to volunteer, to work in the holidays for Sue Ryder.
