On the opposite page are snapshots of seniors, in and out of school, that show how valuable to a yearbook an up-and-coming photography club can be. Nearly all of them are the work of jack C Wliitey J Milroy. Although Refltfrtiom has got along for years with nothing but the pictures taken by the official class photographers, we've missed the informality and spontaneity of pictures taken by pupils who just happened to be there and had their cameras with them. This was the second year that the Photography Club functioned under the guidance of Mr. Arnold VI. Borofsky. It seems as if this year, more than ever before, cameras were almost as common as handbags in the classrooms. Future staffs of Re- ,fz'er!jmz.i' may well consider having all their pictures -except the senior panels-done by the school's talented amateurs. Club members, during the year, experimented with developing, printing, and enlarging pictures. For the beginners in photography, Mr. Borofsky gave lectures on the fundamental techniques and on the care of cameras. Each member was allowed to use the darkroom for developing pictures he had taken in or out of school. The club dues. collected by Treasurer .loan Yonlier, were used to buy badly needed pho- tographic equipment. PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB son, Ruth DeLairrio, Jean Donald.

effin on 0lfUCUf'0!6 .giakin The activities of the Dramatic Club tapered off a bit. The club, under the direction of Miss Doris M. Grant, met once a month during the s-hool year. lts membership was large and en- thusiastic, and its projects were many. At the beginning of the year the club watched a demonstration of the art of make-up, as prac- ticed by Mr. Clifford Gustafson, art director. Two of the club's members were used as models. Next on the program was a one-act play, The Pearls. This was put on at a private performance for club members. The cast included Elsa Basilici, planet Smith. Charles Mulholland, and Lennart johnson. The club got considerable enjoyment out of the fact that one of its members, I-larry Mahoney, was an amateur magician who frequently entertained at its meetings. Club members, accompanied by Miss Grant, attended Boston performances of -lulius Caesar and Pygmalion during the course of the year. Along in March, however, the club coasted for a while, as Miss Grants attention was needed elsewhere. lt all begin with the senior class' play- reading committee, composed of .Ianice Heiferman, Marie Motte, and John Tuck. For weeks they met with Miss Grant, trying to find something not too young nor too old, funny but not foolish, dramatic but not too clillictllt. l26l DRAMATIC CLUB OFFICERS SITTING-Jane Downey, Richard Andrews. STANDING-Thomas Walsh. Joan Gapello. Then there was a solid week of try-outs in the auditorium, with Mr. Ryan getting girls to drag Mike Eremita up on the stage, with everyone try- ing to read Miss Grants mind, with dentist ap- pointments missed, and the same lines spoken over and over again. Finally there was the list posted on the bulletin board. Then there were two months of rehearsals- and epidemics! Measles, strep throats, colds, aches, and assorted miseries. Was the cast ever all there at one time before the opening night? Somehow or other, Miss Grant went through it all and still stayed sane. Somehow the lines got learned. We began selling tickets and painting scenery and hunting for old hats. Half the class was in a fog and everyone was excited. QC0llfl6Q fitere wad . . .
