Under the guidance of A-V Specialist Tom Valeri, the Photography Club improved its skills in taking, developing, and printing pictures. Mem- bers held meetings after school in the Media Center where they learned good darkroom technique. Lance Rectanus the 1979 photographic editor of the Eyric personally took all of the color photo- graphs included in the theme section. Lance and other proficient photographers helped Mr. Valeri instruct new members in photographic skills and tecnhiques. He planned to attend Rochester Insti- tute of Technology with hopes of becoming a pro- fessional photographer. Yearbook and newspaper responsibilities gave the club practical experience. The group got the chance to work with color film because of the new color section in the yearbook. Members also learned about videotaping through work on Centennial On the Air the Journalism Departments news show Greg Mason a sophomore photographer gets positioned on the floor for a better angle from which to capture a wrestling match against Glenelg. 5 l Gi 99 9 9 9 which aired in May.

Aquila, Centennial's first literary magazine, made its debut in May. Aquila, Latin for eagle, was a 32-page collection of both literary and graphic artwork contributed by the Centennial staff and student body. The magazine, put together by the Advanced Composition class, allowed students to experiment with literary techniques that they otherwise would not have developed. Literary selec- tions ranged from Haiku and concrete poetry to articles and free verse. Pen and ink, and pencil reproductions with an em- phasis on form and texture allowed art students to do charac- teristic representations of the magazine s written work. Because she takes a strong interest in creative writing, Mrs. Ava Vecchioni advisor to the publication, said she hopes to publish two issues of Aquila next year to give students the op- portunity to exhibit their artistic and literary talents.

Sophomore John Friskey highlighted the Chess Team's season, earning a trophy for his seventh-place county-wide ranking. Vice-principal Bob Bastress spon- sored the team, which differed from other school teams in that members were responsible for their own trans- portation to county chess matches. The team's eight members traveled to events held at various county high schools between December and March. Team members scheduled practices at their own discretion often using the Media Center or an empty classroom during their lunch shifts. Chess Team 1 CT!
