Camera Club Develops Art Of Photograph Camera Club consisted of eight people wishing to learn b all they could about picture taking. They met once a Week to develop and print pictures and to exchange their ideas on photography with those of other members. Eastman-Kodak sent films and slide shows to the club so that the members could learn some of the finer points of photography. Subjects covered by the films included developing and printing techniques, travelogues, night photography, and processing color film. All equipment used by Camera Club belonged to the members. Selling pictures raised money to buy some of the equipment. Several years ago, the club decided to r make a movie, which is how Media began. Since then, Media has separated from Camera Club, forming a separate group of its own. Z ttf: 28 Camera Club TOP: Camera Club member Bob Borcherding examines his camera in preparation for reloading.

Sponsored by Mr. Neal West, 20 members held meetings every Wednesday to improve skills and try to solve difficult problems. Experience acquired through the club enables students to advance to various computer sciences if they so desire. One ofthe activities of the club involved composing a computer skill test to be taken by prospective members. Since the school provides equipment, the club does not have any expenses. This accounts for the lack of money- making projects. LEFT: After programming the computer, members of Computer Club anxiously await the results.

Uf2!5fU1 2 AFS Funds Earned Bic cle Ramble Goals of the American Field Service Club of Kirkwood High School as stated in their constitution are as follows: To assume responsibility for the welfare of the foreign student in the school, to stimulate interest in the Americans Abroad programs, to cooperate with the local AFS chapter in all aspects of the program, and to explore other aspects of international living. . fi Before the 1970-71 school year, Student Council sponsored an AFS committee. However, lack of support and interest from S.C. members resulted in the formation of an individual club for the sole purpose of AFS. Commended by the AFS headquarters in New York, this small young club set out to achieve its goals. Despite sporadic meetings, the club raised enough money to bring another foreign student as AFS had previously financed the personable Noor Duraanee of Afghanistan. They also made efforts to help finance the Americans Abroad semi-finalists Lindsay Wright and Suzanne Gnaegy in case either became a finalist. In order to raise the 51,150 needed to bring a foreign student to KHS, the adult AFS chapter, the Kirkwood Police, and sponsor Miss Karen Kaufman helped initiate a fifteen mile AFS Bicycle Ramble which through the endeavors of over sixty participants and individual spon- sors earned nearly 51,000 for the cause. A regular and nation-wide money-maker. AFS Christ- mas cards provided additional funds as did the Red and White Day Donut Sale and the AFS Candy Sales. To spur further interest in foreign peoples, various exchange students visited Kirkwood AFS homes overnight and participated on the panel in the traditional AFS assembly held for the students of KHS.
