After three years of successful work at Merrillville High School, the Camera Club started its fourth year with John Ashton as president; Dan Smith, vice-president; and Roy Shannon, secretary-treasurer. During the meeting, slides and motion pic- tures were secured and shown to the club. Each of these pictures was related to some phase of photography. The dark room, which was secured last year was put in use and a developing service was offered to the members and students. This year many candid pictures were made of unposed activities as seen about the school. It was hoped that some of these pictures would be good enough to be put into the annual. The members his year included: Edna Mae Dick, John Ashton, Don Ellis, David Bookwal- ter, Wayne Hortnip, Bernice Kapella, Betty Major, Charles Kitchel, Jackie Richards, Bry- ant Wade, Norman Schultz, Barbara Reveal, Bill Hall, Doug Witham, Dan Smith, Paul Max- ey, Roy Shannon, Art Lewis, Ronald Baessler, Tom Barbarcheck, John Burris. During all four years the club has been under the guidance of Mr. Pruitt. MR. FRANK PRUITT CAMERA CLUB COMPLETES ITS THIRD YEAR CAMERA CLUB MEMBERS EXAMINING CANDID SHOTS TAKEN AROUND THE SCHOOL. 13

INFORMAL G. A. A. MEETING G. A. A. SETS NEW MEMBERSHIP RECORD “Ouch! Oh!” These were some of the wails and woes of the new members being initiated into the G. A. A. Under their new umpire, Mrs. Weldy, the G. A. A. has scored many runs and has enjoyed one of their most successful years. The follow- ing line-up for the year was as follows: Pitcher: Mary Elma Bryan Catcher: Mary Ann Halfman Score Keeper: Theresa Franko Financial Reporter: Jane Hamilton Reporter: Pat Shearer Some of the hits scored by this team in- cluded candy sales, the Round Robin Tourna- ment in basketball and the Annual Sadie Haw- kins Dance where “The Woman Is Requested to Pay.” Participating in such sports as softball and volleyball also proved enjoyable. This year’s G. A. A. had a larger member- ship than that of any other club in the school. MRS. DOROTHY WELDY 1 2
