Fifty-second Annual Meeting of the O.Y.S.A.: Held in the John Bright Library, Bootham School, York, on Saturday, June 7th, 1930. Arthur Rowntree presided. J. C. Knowles reported on the Bootham magazine and said that the receipts had been £206 2s 6d and that the profit for the year was £19 12s 4d. The profit for the year compared with the preceding year’s profit of £13. The number of subscribers during the year was slightly less than in previous years. There were now 449 subscribers apart from the school and the masters. The decrease in subscribers was not reflected in this year’s accounts because a number of subscriptions were stopped on March 31st. The explanation of the extra profit was that the last two issues of the magazine had cost rather less. New advertisers in the magazine were needed and they would be glad to hear from anyone able to help in this matter. It had been suggested that publishers might find the magazine a valuable medium for advertising the sale of books and he wondered whether ant members would introduce advertisers of that kind. He added that the work of the Treasurer was greatly lightened by the help of Mr Chalkley, who published the magazine, and the Editor. They felt deep gratitude to Gurney Braithwaite for the ten years of extremely hard work he had put into the magazine. It was no light job, but he had done the work very effectively and had made the office of Treasurer very light and pleasant indeed, and they felt very grateful to him for his work for the magazine.
