The primary purpose of the Photography Club was to take pictures for the yearbook and newspaper, but due to poor atten- dance at meetings, Moderator Mrs. Karen Wedding disbanded the club. At the beginning of the year, membership swelled to over sixty. Of that number, however, only four or five photographers continued to shoot. Many times they came to the rescue of the newspaper and yearbook staffs which had to meet crucial deadlines. Junior Tom DeLoreto, a true roving reporter, would agree to take pictures often at a moment ' s notice. Junior Ray Piesck not only took pictures, but he developed film in his own darkroom. Said President of the club, Genevieve Cleary, I really give credit to those few who did a lot for the yearbook and the newspaper. ABOVE: Junior Brett Baker shoots an assignment for the yearbook.

nitiation We want YOU In order to become a member of certain clubs at Newman, students had to go through a mini hell week. A pledge had to obtain an allotted number of signatures from previous club members and to earn these signatures a pledge had to perform such embarrassing tasks as dressing up in ridiculous costumes, singing to the crowded cafeteria during lunch and crawling across the floor. For a week rabbits hopped down the halls, cats crawled across the floor and donkeys galloped between the build- ings. 124 CLUBS
