This flair for the dramatic is a touch added by the projectionists club to their job of showing movies. During their free periods projectionists show movies in either the cafeteria, room six, or the auditorium. Since educational films have become an important part in the teaching of many subjects, qualified people to show them are in constant demand. To take care of that demand the projectionists club was started and has grown considerably. Students are trained to run the machines and can make expert emergency repairs. Mr. Taylor, the sponsor, has gotten the club on an almost independent basis, where the officers make arrangements and the projectionists run off the reels smoothly and professionally.
