The purpose of the club is to develop a practical interest in photography. Monthly meetings were held in which members were taught how to take, develop, and print pictures. Colored moving pictures and slides were shown at the meetings. Monthly snap shot contests were also held. The Club had the largest number of members of any club in school, because any student was eligible for membership. At the first meeting the following officers were elected: president, Wesley Palmer; vice-president, Jo Love; secretary, Barbara Welsh; treasurer, Mable Ray. TWENTY-EIGHT

In addition, Jerry Piper was elected as Assistant Editor, Jane Love as Literary Editor, Barbara Welsh as Humor Editor, Gaylen Cain and Sally Garner as Sports Editors, and Joan Morrison as Art Editor. Under the direction of Mr. Sunderman, immediate steps were taken to improve the paper. One of the first changes which was made was the development of a neater head- ing, with the date, volume, issue, and name of the school included. Also a careful check of the articles was made each time. The rough copies and stencils were checked for misspelled words and typographical errors, and some helpful suggestions for the writing of articles were made by Mr. Sunderman. The Typing II class typed the rough copies and Miss Schutte, their teacher, checked them for mistakes and helped the typists to improve their work each time. The typists included Bill Ashelford, Dorothy Boehm, Sally Garner, Gloria Hendee, Barbara Welsh, Dick Falk, Mary Smith, Jeanette Yelinek, Barbara Spencer, Gaylen Cain, Jean Moats, Carl Wright, Cherie Dyer, Joan Morrison, Evelyn Cain, Pat Kanode, Mable Ray, and Velma Harmon. Attempts were made to improve each issue, judging by the past issues the diffi- culties and mistakes to be corrected each time. TWENTY-NINE
