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

A STEP TOWARD SENIOR HI-Y THE JUNIOR HI-Y GETS TOGETHER Although this is just the fourth year for the Junior Hi-Y, there was an enrollment of fifty-one. The Junior Hi-Y was organized to prepare the Freshmen and Sophomores for the Hi-Y. These fellows try to improve our school in any way they find possible, provide high ideals for members and promote good fellow- ship. The Senior Hi-Y is their friendly rival when it comes to a football or basketball game. These two clubs join together to give athletic trophies for outstanding ability and achieve- ment of the year. They consider themselves very lucky to have Coach Demaree as their sponsor. The of- ficers for the year were: Ronnie Youngkin, President: Don Barclay, Vice-President; Don Mills, Sergeant-at-Arms; Ted Roessing, Secre- tary and Treasurer. 1 5
