Dean Surette makes sure exposure is set Let’s go into my darkroom and see what developes! Photographers really got tired of people who tried to make photography jokes. After all, the Photography Club was certainly no joke. Members strove to increase the depth of their knowledge in the field by studying advanced techni- ques in camera operation, film pro- cessing, printing, and picture mounting. The club sponsored movies on the various styles of famous photographers and the owner of Photo Craft was invited to speak. The club's field trip to Lake Braddock gave everybody an op- portunity to stop and shoot nature scenes. A photo show gave the club's talent exposure in the school while a school-wide photo contest helped raise funds. Members concentrated on the ar- tistic aspect of photography once the mechanical operation of taking a picture had become a single reflex.

The other requirements were a 3.5 or better average in all college preparatory math courses and completion or current enrollment in Algebra II Trig. The society’s an- nual field trip to the National Bureau of Standards was held in November and included an oppor- tunity to meet with four resear- chers in their laboratories. Mu Alpha Theta was a good way to provide recognition of achieve- ment in the field of mathematics. Opponents were unseen and unheard. Competition took place in silence but eyes kept a close watch on the clock. When time ex- pired and competition ended, members of the Math Team didn’t know the results - they would have to wait until their papers were sent in to be compared with those from other schools. This “long distance’’ competition was substituted for the normal field trips to area meets in the name of energy conservation. Competition, which involved problems ranging from Algebra to pre-calculus, took place on the county level for Superintendant’s Academic Awards as well as on the state level for titles in the Virginia Math League. The Math Team offered twenty-one students who enjoyed math the opportunity to sharpen their problem solving skills and to become involved in intense mathematical competition, even if it was “long distance.” Alan Episcopo gives a math problem his full concentration during competition.

Each gymnastic event; the uneven bars, balance beam, floor exercise, or vault, gave team members plenty of room for in- dividual creativity. Taking advan- tage of time during intramurals after school, the team practiced every Thursday and attended special workshops throughout the year. Routines were performed at Varsity basketball halftime shows, seventh grade orientation, Parents Night Show, and the Intermediate Night. Goals were set and achiev- ed in improving all around gym- nastic ability, good sportsman- ship, team togetherness and especially team work. With a physical effort and a lot of spirit the Intermediate Gymnastic team truly displayed their talents in each and every manuever they made.
