Operators were responsible for videotaping athletic events, filming, lighting and stage effects at plays and similar activities. The AV club was necessary to both extracurricular and classroom activities. Another essential group, the Library Club, was responsible for maintaining order in the library. With all Works easily accessible and constantly in use, the club members always had to be working to keep track of materials.
