This object was achieved principally through reports given by members of the club and by addresses by faculty members or people experienced in related fields such as beauty operators, nurses, and business people. Organized this year, the club immediately became immensely popular with girls of all classes and soon boasted a membership of seventy-five. Meetings were held bi-weekly on 'Fliursclays at the activities period. In addition, the club's two social functions were a great success, the one a Christmas party on December 16, the other a gala Valentine dance which made a hit with the students because it was a bit different, The club treasury was boosted by coca cola sales at a basketball game and by hat check- ing during the Sectional. One of the purposes for which the funds were used was to buy a rug for the Home Ec dining room. Programs all year were in charge of a committee: Alma Krodel, Margie Miller, Lois Beuchler, and Patricia Luegers. A.-M.. ,wma .air I .-

amz '10, CIM PRESIDENT ------ - - ART WAGNER SECRETARY-TREASURER - - ROBERT VOGEL SPONSOR ------- - - - MR. MASON The Camera Club, in its third year of existence went over with a bang again this year, as it has in the past, only a slightly louder bang. The Club sponsored the first school dance of the year on October 16, 1940, with music by Ebb Uebelhor and his Moonlight Serenaders. The profits were used to purchase supplies for the dark room. Throughout the year, the meetings of the club were made interesting by slides and motion pictures from the Eastman Kodak Company, by talks and demonstrations delivered by some of the members and by local professional photographers, and by movies, most of which were furnished and shown by Glenn Gramelspacher. The dark room, with its new equipment and supplies, was rarely abandonedg it had no chance to get dusty from lack of use. A book entitled, How to Make Your Own Photo- graphic Equipment was purchased causing all glass hammers and left handed monkey wrenches and board stretchers to be put to work making photographic equipment. In the latter part of the winter season, a photo contest was conducted. Twenty-three pic- tures were submitted. The winners were: Richard Nicholson, first prizeg Glenn Gramel- spacher, second prize, and Art Wagner, third prize.
