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.

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.

Mr. Furber has organized a'very willing group of students who are especially interested in chemistry. Not content with the regular course of study, the members of the Chemistry Club pursue advanced topics usually studied in college. They meet twice a week to discuss the latest developments in this highly complex field. Sometimes the emphasis is upon the applications of scientific principles to modern life; sometimes the emphasis is upon the trends of pure research in the field of chemistry. At all events, each meeting is interesting and informative. Experiments may be performed and analyzed; articles in scientific periodicals read and debated; new discoveries ex- plained and shown how they affect man and civiliza- tion. With such a vital subject as chemistry the topics for each meeting are endless. Chemistry Club, Second Row: Hill, Christian, Hughes, Kline, Mr. Furber.
