PHOTOGRAPHIC SOCIETY. President : THE HEADMASTER. Chairman : L. BURGESS, Esq. Secretary : W. H. PING. Committee : R. R. L. Pryer, P. R. G. Dench, T. B. Boulton. We are glad to be able to record the continuation of the Society in spite of the increasing difficulty of obtaining materials. Meetings have been held to discuss points that have arisen. At the first meeting the new Secretary was appointed, and Boulton was elected to the Committee. The Dark Room has been open to members throughout the term, and we have been very fortunate in being able to provide the necessary chemicals and printing paper. Films have, of course, been very scarce, but members seem to have been able to buy them at infrequent intervals. The usual competition had to be abandoned this year, though it may be possible to reproduce some photographs taken of school activities during the term.
J. T. C. The attendance at parades this term has been good, and many useful and interesting lessons in the art of war have been learnt. The corps had two full-dress parades each week on Tuesdays and Fridays between tea and prep. hours. The smartness and efficiency of the Corps was greatly improved by the efforts of the Army drill-instructors, who came to train us from the I.T.C. at Strensall at the instigation of our liason officer, Capt. S. H. D. Chamier, M.C. These N.C.O.'s divided their attention between the Certificate 'A' candidates and those who had passed this examination, and their patience and ability worked wonders with some of the lesser lights in the corps. The J.T.C. field-day, which characterizes every school term, was held on Friday, July 24th. At 9-15 in the morning we embussed for Strensall Barracks. On arrival, we marched to an army educational but where we were given an extremely interesting talk on the modern battle drill for sections and platoons in advance. We were told how this drill was evolved and the reasons for its existence, and the exact formation of the section and the platoon was explained to us. Afterwards we tried to put all that we had learnt into practice, at first in drill movements and then as an actual manoeuvre. The corps returned to school late in the afternoon after a hard but interesting day, and all were grateful to the officers and N.C.O.'s who instructed us. 25
