Kamera Kids | The Kamera Kids club was organized for the interest of those who wanted to learn more about the use of cameras. During the year meetings were held at which the purpose of the different parts of the camera were discussed. We also learned some of the fundamentals in finishing pictures. A dark room was fitted up under the stairway. A dark room outfit and supplies were purchased and various students developed films and printed pictures at a cost just sufficient to cover materials. The event of most interest was a picture contest conducted near the end of the school year. Results are not yet available but indications are that it will be a worthwhile undertaking. Judging from the new cameras and the number of films processed, the club was a great success. Officers were elected as follows... | President — Arlene Hochstetler | Vice-President — Bill Swartzendruber Secretary-Treasurer — Lester Kempf ; 7 PAGE 19

This was due to the fact that we joined the Old Capitol Valley League. Twelve of our games were league games. In league play we won four and lost eight. Chief interest of the season was a victory over Sharon, the first in many years.

Au AU American What do we mean by being ‘An All-Amer- ican”? First, let us apply this to our school work. “An All-American” wants to get his lessons well, and to get them on time. He will not just skim through them, hoping that the teacher will not find it out. After all, he knows that he’s hurting only himself when he does that. In the years to come, America will need more men who know something, men who can dig for themselves; and school is one of the best places to learn this. Another place to practice ‘“All-Americanism”’ is on the playground, or around other people. ‘‘An All-American” does not want to be boss all the time. Neither does he expect to be first in every- thing. He is willing to stand back and give the other fellow a chance. “An All-American” is fair in his play as well as in his work. America needs men who are fair. “An All-American” is patriotic. He wants to do something for his country. He knows he can do things other than fight for his country. Obeying laws is doing something for his country. It lessens crime and accidents. Caring for public property helps his country. His government has given many public parks and such things. It is his duty to care for them. “An All-American” loves his country and his flag. Did you know that the American flag is worth more today than any other flag? Foreign spies have tried to steal our flag to hang on some of their buildings or ships so that they would not be destroyed. Sir Francis Scott Key wrote his song “The Star Spangled Banner” after looking out into the morn- ing and seeing our fiag still flying in the breeze. This meant that America was still the “land of the free and the home of the brave.” Let’s help keep it this way by being “An All-American”! M. J.
