Photo journalists record memories Previous experience and a desire to serve the school were determining factors in selecting pho- togfaphers. Although most had taken a photogra- phy class previously, it was not required. Returning for his fourth year, senior David Berry served as chief annual photographer. Juniors Allen McHenry and Ronnie Weiss returned for their second year. Weekends and hours after school were often filled with assignments necessary to compile a total view of club and sports activities. Taking the pictures was the first step.
