In the individual championship V. Nonoo, the present champion, has not lost a bout. The same applies to 1. Adler and since both are Einstein House boys it looks like an Einstein House victory in this competition. The club is fortunate in having one of the best captains since the formation of the club. Farid Nonoo has given up a great deal of his time to be an assistant instructor to the club. He has all the necessary qualifications for the teaching of the sport and has proved his abilities as a teacher. He organised and supervised the novice championships entirely alone. I cannot really express my Appreciation for all the work that he has done and I take this opportunity of thanking him on behalf of all members. We also thank 1. Adler for the work that he has done for the novices of the club. We are indeed fortunate to have two such boys at the school. Boys who have done well and represented their Houses are: F. Nonoo (Club Captain and champion, chief assistant instructor), 1. Adler (Vice-Captain and assistant instructor), A. Aciman, 1. Illoulian, M. Sadary, P. Samson, R. Glass, Behnani Shahandeh, J. Wahba. F.J.T. THE PHOTOGRAPHIC SOCIETY This is a new society in the School, and has been made possible by the provision of a dark room in the new laboratory block. This is now fully equipped with an enlarger, developing tanks, a print dryer and every other type of apparatus required. The society has attracted boys of 'all ages, and the interest shown by the younger members should ensure the future of the society. In all about a quarter of the boys in the school have played an active part in the Society since it was founded. Ludwig Mandel has been particularly active as the Secretary. The society has already held a competition in which considerable skill was shown in developing, printing and enlarging film as well as in taking photographs. The Society provided photographs for the school play production and the photographs published by this magazine have been provided by the society. An exhibition of photographs has been arranged to coincide with Speech Day. T.J.H. THE BADMINTON CLUB This club was founded in the autumn term. Present facilities in the gym. and in the open are not ideal, but play has taken place as often as possible-usually several times a week. Considerable enthusiasm has been shown by boys of all ages and the standard of play has greatly improved. It is hoped to have House competitions in the future. T.J.H.
