New Equipment Aids Tomahawk Photographers During one of the school assemblies. Danny Charles takes a picture of the speaker Christmas brought the Tomahawk photographers a long-awaited present from the annual staff. A new Fujica camera, drum dryer, and enlarger were purchased to enable the photographers to take and develop better pictures. As their picture taking assignments included after school club meetings, sports events, and special events such as the Miss KHS Pageant, the Junior Ring Dance, the Senior Prom. Sophomore Co- Rec Night, and the Keyette ' s Celebrity Auction, the photographers seldom left school at 3:00 p.m. and often came on Saturday mornings. During school Danny Charles, Mike Tolliver, and John Wilt were responsible for covering all assemblies, classes, and capturing faculty members throughout the school day. With deadlines nearing Tomahawk members often called on the photog- raphers for last minute pictures. They were also asked to reprint lost pictures or to touch up pictures needed for the annual.

To fulfill this obligation, some members actually per- formed in the plays, but more often they were important in completing back stage work. Club members were an essential part of the productions for their work on stage crews, costumes, and make-up. Detailed art work and complicated make- up and costumes were a necessary part of each production. Outside activities for the members in- cluded field trips to Wedgewood Dinner Theater, the Virginia Museum, and atten- dance at a William and Mary Theater sem- inar. President Scott Jacobs conducted the meetings which were held every other Tuesday. At these meetings plans were made for field trips and seminars. Drama Club members who did out- standing work and showed a real interest in the school dramatic productions were rewarded for their efforts by being in- ducted into the National Thespian Society.
