First intended to include only a small number of students, the club proved so popular that plans had to be rapidly expanded. Over one third of the February class joined the club during the first semester, and it became an ideal place to discuss problems of the class. The group acted as a sort of policy making board for the seniors, having much to do with the class party and play. ln addition to working on group problems, the club also dealt with the difficulties confronting the individual student before and after graduation. The advantages of different colleges were shown, college life was discussed thoroughly, and the needs of the future were studied. lob qualifications were explained, and different vocations were examined closely. Speaking generally, the Senior Problems Club proved itself one of the most useful in the school. Officers, elected by the entire club, were: Daniel Rader, President: lean Buseck, Vice President, Marge Stod- dart, Secretary, and Mr. Joseph Zipper, faculty advisor. nluniur Camera Dlub Due to the appeal that photography has for young and old, this club was one of the popular groups among the Junior High students. With Miss Mabel Weir as sponsor the lunior Camera Club chose Don Liebel, President, Mildred Boyce, Secretary and Nancy Gronnett, Treasurer. The aims of the club were to teach the mem- bers to know and understand their cameras, to be able to take good pictures, to process films and to make good prints. During this past year the club members constructed pin hole cameras, had lessons in tinting pictures, learned to take silhouettes, and delved into the use of filters. They soon realized the magnitude of the field which they had already found to be fascinating. Row 1fM. Gardner, I. Vitelli, L. Strand, A. lohnson, B. McKeen, V. Schugart, M. Rodriguiz, K. Kauffmann.
