Any monotony which might have infested college routine was shattered by the advent ot' the Camera Club, sponsor- ed by Miss Sterz. Going strong with twenty-tour members, it has taken t'or its slogan, t'Shot in the Act. The first semes- ter, President Gish and Vice- President Mehl held sway, but after they had gone on to bigger and better things, Mary Ellen Gilmore and Na- dine Atkins were elected as potentates ot' filmland. Because of the infancy of the organization and the am- ateur standing of all its mem- bers, Crawford and Suther- land, wizards of the dark- room, spent many 'twee hours extracting pictures t'rom impossible negatives. The club remains a problem child. In living up to the motto, it was our 'tmean task to shoot Acker swiping the bulb from the entrance light, Marsh es- caping duty via the window, and Gish and Mehl absorbed in the intellectual realms of education. VVith the club's equipment, we were able to secure shots ot' Orville Suth- erland in action in the dark room, ot' a busy day on the bulletin hoard, and of the Camera Club in session.

Liglils could occasionally be seen blazing in the college lniilfling .in lihe wee small hours ol' the inorning while the staff, sl,ii'ling yawns, and propping up drooping eyelids-pored over manuscripts, crossed one word ont, inserted another, re- arranged piclnres, or planned advertise- ments. Anyway, it was a, lolz of fun, and the stall' feels their i'pi,oi'ieering was time well-spent blazing anew the aninial trail. Tl'liI'ty-fO11l' Snapshots are memory prickers. The Trail Blazer includes all kinds. Some will call forth chuckles, others, frowns. As you have probably noticed by glancing at the pictures. students were willing to sacrifice all the pride they had worked so hard to attain, just to make a good snap for the Trail Blazer. For instance, there was the time when the certain person, who edited this hook-not mentioning any names-dropped her dignity and posed Cor was the slip accidental?j prostrate on the .icy sidewalk in mid-winter. Another person, it is rumored, had twenty-seven shots taken of herself.
