Q Q s ' 4 pg! 4 f s N Q L Fi? 0 Q , Flash! Dash! Duck!-The photographers are at it again. They shoot a picture at every turn. Nothing stumps them. They take it lying down--standing up-peelo ing over railings. Sports-social events --dances-classes - glamour - nothing escapes the eye oi the camera and its shutter pusher. All informal shots used in the Log and Navigator were taken by Camera Club members, many of whom won recognition in camera contests. Hands up and walk! . . . An at- tempt at burglary? Oh no. just the Dance Club warming up for a new routine. Not only the very latest dance steps. but also the old circle waltzes and rhythmic fox trots are learned. R. I. Dompke and Boyce Bradley. president and vice-president, are student teachers. Mrs. Hage is carrying on valiantly the project which Mr. Carty so capably sponsored beiore he left Denby. Educate by films! is the motto of Denby's Operators' Club. Twenty-:ive members of this or- ganization under the direction of Miss Lightfoot divide the respon- sibility of showing entertaining and educational iilms to our stu- dents. President Bud Lachat and his gang have proved to us that they can chalk up a continuous row of successes.

On with the show ' Th' . is, the policy of D enby's Broad- casting Guild, has long served as a dependable motto. With the aim of helping in Ameri- ca's war effort, this past year has yielded many blue ribbon successes to the credit of Mrs. Schneidewind, sponsor of the club. Under the direction of president Stan Challis, aided by vice-president Norma Wheeler. the Guild has intro- duced not only highly enter- taining dramatizations, but also educational Round Table Discussions. We know that their future record will be twice as impressive as this past record is. The tickets fo l ralevents and social affairs of Denby are handled by the Sales Club. Sponsored b M' y iss Lind of the Commercial Department, the Club has 98 sparkling, ag- gressive members. Each home room is represented and offi- cers are elected each semes- ter. This organization has been I . . eadmg an active life for six years. During the last four. the ticket sales have been under student management. instead of teacher control as during the first two toddling years. Even a democracy needs some form of policing and the Service Club is up on es to its toes when it com keeping the halls of Denby in order. Every hour of the day a student can be at his appointed post. found Discussions of the questions of the day vital take place, and in the heat of argument, freshmen often challenge stately seniors. Democracy can not thrive except by bringing these questions into the light and thoroughly thrashing them out. Nor can students learn to defend their ideas except by having them challenged by students with other opinions. The Forum and democ- racy go together. It is democratic in that its mem- bership is open to all stu- dents of Denby and in that all ideas are tolerated and respected by others. ,. in , ii it
