UmUO Like rolling towel calendars, money-making projects are tedious. But, Alice Carmichcel hopes that D.E. will profit from her labors. D.E. issues students Social Security cards Demurely seated in a leather swivel chair with a cigar in his mouth, glasses on the tip of the nose, and a pencil behind his ear, the business- man labors endlessly into the night. These are the impressions one has about the business world. Yet the bright young members of the Dis- tributive Education Club were a far cry from this stereotyped character. These students were interested in the opportunities the business world could offer them after graduation. Firsthand experiences in business were gained from their calendar towel sale and through their issuing of Social Security cards. Many mem- bers had jobs in local shops, and the knowledge found there was in- valuable. There was fun, too, as out- ings and parties were given. With small-lalk and an eagerness to help, Karen Haggeman and Jon Seabrook, fill out applications for social security cords. Giving club members a few suggestions, Mr. Phil McKinney represents the many sponsors whose aid is welcomed when ideas are few. 81

Students yearn for bright lights Purples, oranges, and myriads of other hues filled the screen as the Photography Club viewed its Light Shows. These were slide-music pro- ductions highlighted by different colors moving constantly over the screen. This effect was achieved by pressing colored gelatin between pieces of gloss and placing it under an opaque projector. The result was similar to lighting techniques being used on television. The buddy system was employed to better teach the inexperienced members about the taking and print- ing of pictures. Each of the older students was responsible for several others whom they took to the dark- room in order to teach them how to develop film and print pictures. At their meetings, reports were given on the many parts of a camera, and members studied such things as how film reacts in a camera. Glaring, suffocating lights are hard on a performer, but they are an abso- lute necessity for any theatrical or musical production. EGATS was the organization responsible for these at CHS. Before, this club ' s main jobs were the musical and the Sensational Sixties. Neither of these were done this year, but EGATS had plenty to do with the Carol Sing, various dances, and the spring style show. Let ' s get with it now guys! Photography Club President Mark Belding raises a threaten- ing finger at sonae boys in his club. Looks of indecision and quiet resignation appear on the faces of these Photography Club members as they work on difficult assignments.

Mr. Elwyn Brown, and Jim Crews tug on some of the heavy ropes in the gymnasium. 80

Neon lights ahead for dramatists? Tryouts for any one of the various Drama Clubs plays were tense af- fairs; nnany mennbers found them- selves with considerably shorter nails than before, and nervous giggles often prevailed over the speaking of prospective actors. Remarkably, the plays presented were fascinating successes, despite the problems of finding costumes, scenery, and enough copies of the desired plays. The addition of sophomores near the start of the second semester pro- vided the groups with new talent, though one sponsor was heard to pro- claim, Aren ' t any of you new people going to try out for the play? There is nothing to be afraid of ... or is there? Opportunities to see plays in Bloomington such as Cabaret and The Price and an invitation by the local Arts Guild to attend their enact- ment of Anastasia provided club members with a chance to compare different styles of acting, directing and the interpretations of playwrights ' ideas. Plays of every conceivable descrip- tion, by renowned and unknown au- thors, were read to better understand the world of dramatics. Mrs. Able, portrayed by Pam Dwenger, gives some motherly advice concerning her daughter ' s disposition. Barb Winebrenner was Inez who seemed intolerant of the immaturity of Peter, played by Jerry Kauper. The ploy wos pre- sented to the drama club on February 1 1 during club period. The Arts Guild would certainly draft Debbie Chavis, Linda Linn, and Richard Prather for their dramatic talent in this presentation of Impromptu. The play involves six people who are asked to perform without a script and, in doing so, reveal their personalities. Folks is folksl laughs grandmother. Susan Brown portrays the elderly woman who is dis- gusted with a life of peace and carpet rags. 82
