A new and interesting course recent- ly added to this department is photog- raphy, taught by Mr. Smith, our chem- istry teacher. The students here are instructed how to take, develop, and print pictures. All the pictures which appear in this book, with the exception of the individual senior photographs, are the work of this class.
