MONTHLY LETTER September, 1956 Officers Elected at the Annual Meeting May 12th, 1956 Members gathered on the above date for the business meeting of the year. The proceedings were enlivened by the preliminary wassail and dinner, after which the choir, in excellent voice, rendered the Willan setting of the Club Constitution. Voting followed with Charles Thompson, Alf Gray and Reg Heal acting as scrutineers. Reports of the various committees were adopted, the retiring chairmen earning the plaudits of President and members. Treasurer's Report The Treasurer reported that on current account there was an excess of expenditure over income of $429. This figure was arrived at after charging against this year's operations unamortized amounts of $1136 covering expenditure on kitchen improvements, @ library fittings and piano from previous years. Our Capital (or Surplus) account increased from $94,625 to $137,548 during the year, because of profits arising from sales of investments and certain adjustments to our accounts made in the interest of simplification. The Club's surplus funds are invested mainly in Government of Canada bonds, bank and first class industrial common stocks. Our holdings showed considerable appreciation in line with the advances shown in practically all stocks during the past year of boom conditions. Special mention was made of Ian Cameron's contribution of time and energy as chairman of the Entertainment Committee. Walter Moorhouse read the names of Club members who had died during the year; a moment of silence provided the opportunity to remember past associations with these comrades, whose work and personalities have woven their names into the pattern of Club tradition. As a result of the voting the following officiate for the Club year 1956-1957: President - Cleeve Home Vice-President & - James Wardropper Treasurer Secretary - Fred Kemp Members of the Executive Committee elected at the meeting for two years: Arthur Ament George Foord Edward Corbett A.
