Although activities in the Cameras Club got off to a late start, many students still had a chance to satisfy theirxinterests in photogra- phy. They were busily lengaged during the year taking, developing, printing, and enlarg- ing their own pictures. The club, headed by the new chemistry instructor, Arwin Hoge, made various accomplishments during the last half of the year. Regularly scheduled meetings took place every Monday night and some type of demon- stration was arranged for each session. Show- ing of motion pictures and discussions on the development in modern photography pro- vided additional subject matter for alternate gatherings. Outside activities such as hikes and picnics were held for the purpose of giving the mem- bers experience in taking unusual outdoor pictures and also for their enjoyment. Inci- dental expenses of the club were met by dues paid by each member, revenue from the all- school play, candy sales, and some voluntary contributions. Photographic supplies used by the members were available to them at cost and all the solutions were prepared in the laboratory. lnterest in the club was shown by the in- creased membership during the year. Some of the members had photography as a hobby while others wishing to learn the art of pic- ture work were given instruction concerning the fundamentals. Doing their own picture taking, developing films, and seeing the images appear on the sensitized paper while printing was proof to them of their accomplishments. Warbler staff photographers also shared in the use of the club's facilities to develop films and print most of the pictures used in the year-book. Members of the club consisted of Phyllis Wlelch, presidentg Vincent Oster, vice-presi- dentg Carol Danforth, secretary-treasurer, Pat Casey, James Potter, Pat Bloom, Jack McCallum, Don Anderson, Don Johnston, Es- ther Saxe, Doyle Grout, Helen Okun, John Maxwell, and Basil McGill.
