Photographers Provide Pictures with Pride This year the photographers for DHS have proved Themselves hard- working and eager ro do their jobs right. The photography class meets sixth period where they prepare pictures for the school newspaper and the yearbook Eddie Bradshaw, junior, said Photography is fun and a good way ro get a lot of experience in working with cameras and other equipment involved. Aside from raking pictures ar school, photographers attend after- school activities to take pictures, and this often takes up a lot of their time. The photographers, however, always enjoy their jobs. This summer the photographers were divided and attended different summer camps. LThey arrended Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches and Sam Houston State University in Huntsville. Both camps were presented by Taylor Publishing Company. The photographers had a good rime at both camps and learned a lor about photography techniques. Some students broughr home awards. Junior Dale Ellington, attending 5FASU, won third place in the candid portrait division. Senior Christine Mullen, arrending SH5U, won most im- proved and a first place in sports and activities. I devoted all my time at camp this year and it paid off well, said Christine. Christine is now the phorog- rophy editor.
