CAMERA CLUB The Camera Club at Lowell High School originated in the year of 1950. This club’s purpose is to promote interest in photography and to teach photography in detai I. The club’s most talked about project is the dark room. The use of this room was resumed last year for the purpose of developing pictures. This year the room is almost completely refurnished with the proper developing equipment. The Camera Club this year has purchased flood lamps in order to take photo flood pictures. The club entered the 1952 Annual Snapshot Contest and is very much inter¬ ested in having rivalry between Lowell and Crown Point concerning these snap¬ shots. The students have worked primarily on table-top snapshots. They have learned how to use all kinds of cameras and thread the projector. The club took pictures for the “Snow Frolic Christmas dance. The students also took snapshots for the Lowellian. The club has surely lived up to its name as the Camera Club.’’ , | f JUr-V s y W ' -y, $ ■ - V j® ’ f T l : v v S tJm SCIENCE CLUB The Science Club has been in existence for many years.

One of the most active clubs around school is the Girls ' Athlectic As¬ sociation. Besides putting on a marvelous Follies this year, the girls also sponsored the dance after the Morocco game. In order to encourage everyone to participate in sports, points were awarded, such as 10 points for 4 practices and 10 extra points if a girl gets on the first team. A girl must have 100 points before taking the G.A.A. oath. When 150 points are made, a letter is awarded and at 250, one is entitled to a sweater. This system was started last year. Intramural sports included: basketball, speedball, hit-pin, and softball. A majority vote ruled that basketball leagues should be formed instead of taking up volleyball. There were ten leagues and ten captains. The purpose of this club is to promote good sportsmanship and stress the consideration of others. Under the able leadership of our advisor, Miss Lois Kruger, and our president, Sue Nixon, the Follies proved to be the highlight of ’52. (Seniors): J. McNay; L. Labosky; J. Wor¬ ley; M. Purcell; J.

During the school year, the Home Ec Club has put their time to very good use. Their regular meetings were spent deciding how to raise money. At Thanksgiving time they held a Turkey Raffle which proved very successful. Then later in the year they started a project that was as novel as it was worth while. The girls purchased a small doll, then designed clothes for it. This kind of raffle was a new idea. The profits, of course, went into the Home Ec Club treasury to be used to the advantage of the school. One of the biggest events of the entire year is staged by the Home Ec Club. In the spring of each year the annual Mother’s Tea is held. It is a celebrated affair with a May Queen and attendants. All of the airl or invitaJ to feeirvQ mother and aftnr tha program they all enjoy refreshments prepared by the Home Ec Club. In addition to the annual activities this year the Club has added a new one. For a long time the idea has been thought of and rejected. The club tried to make a success of noon lunches for the students in the cafeteria. This has been tried several times before with little success, but this year the students and the faculty alike have hot lunches. It is a non-profit project and the Home Ec Club gains little from it except satisfaction. At the end of the year the Club purchased a gift that will be used for many years by the future students. This is a tradition with the girls. Each year the school's Home Ec department receives a gift from the club.
