I-'lhe Aff! and Camera' flab FINE ARTS CAMERA CLUB President - - - Juanita Rogers President , . , Loretta Lyons Vice- President - - Gordon Sheirrick Vice president and Secretary - Secretary - Muriel Teitelbaum ----- D0l'0fl1Y K0ehlel' Treasurer - Dick Zimmerman Treasurer - - - - Sue Thomas AdViSDl' - Miss Mary B. 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

Bartlett Clerk - - - David Jenkins Sergeant-at-arms - - James Hughes Advisor - - Mr. William Taylor i'Senators, quiet! demanded a loud voice. Say--who is the sergeant-at-arms? Yes, I know you're a Republican, but you can have the floor later. Give me that gavel. Will the meeting please come to order. Ah-that's better, Proceed to read the minutes, Mr. Secretary. What is going on in Room, 3Ol? I thought this was Central High, but it sounds more like the Senate Chamber in Washington. Somebody is demanding to have the floor. What does he want with the floor, anyway? Here they go again. Are there any additions or corrections to be,made in the minutes? Good-they stand approved, Say-you Democrats over in the corner. we haven't started to filibuster yet- quiet! CDid he say filibuster? Gee. I must be in Vilashingtonl Fellow senators, the topic for today is: The United States Government should abolish the Electoral College. What stand is each party taking? Hmm-I'm rather glad I slipped in. Looks like there will be plenty of fireworks going on for the next forty minutes. There goes a senator-I think that's what they call each other -striding up to the front. Sure looks important. doesn't he. Mr. President and Fellow Senators, I am taking the negative stand. CLong pausej. Our party believes that without the Electoral College, our government would- b k I demand the floor, Mr. President. This is outrageous. Think what the country would e li e if- Quiet, please. The senator from Oregon has the fioorf' Well, what do you know. I'm beginning to see the dawn. I must be in the Senate Club. Oh-I think their president is going to say something again. Fellow Senators, you have very capably handled the question. I now call for a vote on the problem. , You can hear a pin drop. Hmm--wonder which way I should vote? Say-he passed my vote right up. Help-the awful truth-there has never been a woman in the Senate Club for all of its twenty-six years. I think I'll slip out while I'm in one piece. What's that the presi- dent said? Oh-the meeting is adjourned. VJell, after this l'll know better than to put my nose in Room 301 during a club period. DOROTHY KOEHLER Skaffhg dab SKATING CLUB President - - - Don McKinley Secretary and Treasurer - Barbara Seiser Reporter - - - Dorothy Gierhart Advisor - - Mr. Gordon Bartter With eager expectant eyes, she ran up to the roller skating rink, As she entered the Vast room, her eyes darted over the heads of other people and rested on the graceful skaters, Her long visualized dream wasi to come true. She was going to skate. CSo she thoughtj. Grasping her skates in her hands, she made her way to a bench and prepared to put them on. After carefully fastening her skates, with an exalted look, she stood up. Then with an empty stomach she sat down. Somehow all was not well. The floor was too slippery. Gathering the fragments of her courage, she again attempted to stand up. Finally succeeding, she hesitantly made her way to the Hoor. Oops! She and the floor struck up a great friendship. After being politely introduced to a resounding thump, she arose and gritted her teeth for the ordeal that was to come. f First the right foot: then the left. That was it! It really was very simple after the first ew steps. Slowly she progressed. But alas! Again she met the oilor. In fact, the floor became very persistent about these introductions. After circling the rink several times she decided to add a little to her accomplishments. Carefully she debated whether it should be a Hgure eight or a one-foot stand. Deciding upon the latter, she began to slowly raise her foot. If Sonja Heine could, do it on ice skates, why couldn't she with four good wheels under each foot? Shall we leave her now with raised foot? After all, we do know the consequences, don't we? DEANA FILLIPS -l25-
