Intermediate-band DDO photometry is presented for 52 dwarf stars covering the spectral range from K2 to M2. All the stars have measures of the emission intensities of the H and K lines of calcium in their spectra, and it is suggested that thirty of these stars are young stars, based on their motion and calcium emission intensities. The DDO photometry clearly defines the locus of the K and early M dwarfs, and shows a small separation between the young and old stars, which is interpreted as a small difference in surface gravity and a possibly marginal difference in cyanogen intensity.
