A very enthusiastic group of boys made up the Camera Club this year. The latest developments in the technique both of taking pictures and of develop- ing prints were closely studied and put into practice. The members could be seen at assemblies, sports C L f events, and all school gatherings, capturing on film amera u the highlights of any important event. The Camera Club gives encouragement and helpful publicity to many school endeavors. It also maintains a very useful and historical file of pictures taken over the years. Many events and personalities of Boston Technical High are recorded on film that otherwise might have been forgotten.

Working under difficulties because of the cessation of Military Drill, the members have shown great spirit and have kept alive the fine traditions of our school Band. Pep- py, lively, and colorful, they specialize in rhythmic melodies. Mr. Kahn, Music Director, has worked very hard to bring out the special musical talent of each boy. Mr. Carey is faculty adviser. Rehearsals have been well attended and the result has been apparent in a well trained unit. There is even a band within a band, a small combination that plays light popular music. To hear and see our band in action is a thrilling sight. The blare of trumpets, the ruffle of drums, and the resounding bugle calls answering the brass and the woodwinds would make anyone wake up and notice that our band is one of the best in Boston. Our regiment parades for the last time

Very few high schools have this unusual club. Here boys learn the secrets of molding clay and of making glaze. They create their own mosaics and their own ceramic sculpture. Practice is the best of all instruction. The members donate many hours both in and outside school to gain experience, train- ing, and finally craftsmanship in this artistic field. Mr. Rosenthal personally supervises all projects and en- courages everyone to develop pride in his work and to do the best job possible. Since the use of ceramics and pottery is both useful and ornamental, the wide possibilities for future use of the skill gained in this club is obvious. Many boys not only gain a good knowledge of fundamentals but become successful skilled craftsmen in a field that provides many oppor- tunities for future employment.
