All students are given the opportunity to gain this knowledge by getting the experience of working with the following equipment: speed graphic camera, 35 MM camera, their own personal camera, light meter, flash units, and developing, enlarging, and printing pictures. Some members act as salesmen and secretaries tor the club. The photographic skills learned by the students depend upon each individual as to his or her interests and the amount of time spent working for the club. All work is done during a student's free periods. Pictures have been taken for the newspaper and yearbook. All students are wel- come to join this club so that they can take better pictures of their own and also gain a rounded knowledge in the field of photography. Sixty Four
