Kirk Advisor Mr. E. L. Huber Just a minute, please. Hold that pose. Ah--that's fine. Now let's try one on Central's front steps. I'm going to submit my best picture in the contest. .lust think-this picture may win a prize. Hey-wait a minute. There's the milkman's horse. That look on his face would make anyone laugh. Think I'll take a snap of him. Say-you should see the picture I took of the grouch next door. Almost anything makes an excellent subject for my pictures. Did you know that professional photographers have started this way? From scratch I mean. Here is a good place to take an angle shot. Now all you have to do is stand on this stairway and look up at that building. I'll just be a minute getting adjusted, so be calm. My pictures always seem to be better when I take them at an angle. There--that ought to make another good picture. After it is developed, you will be standing up-side-down, defying all the laws of gravity. V At last my friend and his camera left me. and I decided to resign as a subject for photogra- phers. My neck had a kink in it, and my dignity had' gone with the wind. I think that last picture of me had a slight CU resemblance to Frankenstein. I wonder where he ever learned all this material about the camera. The last time I met him he acted normal, but now he keeps mumbling things about tripods, filters, hypos, and other foreign terms. Help-he's returned. This photography is surely great, isn't it? I really Wasn't interested until this year, when I heard Central had a Camera Club made up entirely of its senior high students. When I heard they met every first and third Wednesdays during club period, I lost no time in joining it. I leave my woes behind as the mysteries of camera mechanics are explained. Taking pictures as a hobby may start an amateur like my friend toward a successful camera career. These Central photographers are learning to snap their shutter with the skill of an experienced cameraman. India ink? Paints and brushes? Sculpturing? You never heard of these at Central? Then you must not be a member of the Fine Arts Club. If you are wondering how these tie together, just ramble into Room 350 during a club period. As you step in, you will see students molding small dolls' heads. CNo, they aren't going back to their childhood days, either.Q I wonder why they're making dolls? These future artists are certainly busy. Look at their skillful hands changing a blank piece of paper into a beautiful sunset! Over there in the corner is some scenery or something. Isn't that Miss Mary Kirk examining a country view? I wonder what that group of girls is doing at that table? It looks like they're sewing on something. Horrors-a body. Help-I'm in a morgue. Oh- it's only a doll's body. What are our high school students doing with dolls? I'll have to investigate this. Excuse me, but I was just looking at some of your work. I managed to say, and I wonder if you could explain why-? You mean Why we are working on these? Oh-these are going to be marionettes. No wonder they fooled youl For two years the. Fine Arts Club has looked forward to presenting a marionette show. Then it was only an idea, but now they hope it will become a reality. You had better' be careful when you step back: that maze of strings has to be put on the dolls yet. How do you like this miniature chair? Every meeting they add a few more pieces of furniture to the collection. You ought to see some of Central's he-men making doll furniture. With everyone' co-operating, no wonder they keep the Fine Arts Club ranking among Central's outstanding clubs. DOROTHY KOEHLER ml 23:2
