H Il ',y Graphic Arts Over in the Northwest end of the annex basement there is a place where students go to make a lot of noise, and get printer's ink on their clothes and under their fingernails, and incidentally, study one of the most popular and worthwhile laboratory courses in T. H. S., Graphic Arts. Since its beginning in September of 1940 this department has provided a well- planned course in a number of the methods of reproducing thought in visual form, such as printing, etching, embossing, bookbinding, and pho- tography. Down in the shop . . . listen to the throbbing beat of the power presses as they turn out jobs planned and executed by students, the printing of the Quarterly, grade slips, report cards, excuses, and individual projects such as calling cards, letter heads, Christmas cards, and other personalized objects . . . then listen just a little harder and you'il hear the voices of Gtis Chidister or Harry Goldstein vocally rapping knuckles for the careless word, lack of cooperation, or plain old-fashioned goldbricking. These are the men who keep the presses rolling and the cameras clicking. Even those who take only one year of the work are supplied with a basic fund of working knowledge in the field of Graphic Arts that can be of benefit to anyone contemplating a career in journalism, commercial art, or photography. 153

5 Hadin Club Reinstated as an activity in Tucson Senior High School after three years, the Radio Club is presided over by Dick Kaller, who was elected president at the beginning of the year. The purpose of the club is to stimulate interest in radio activities, con- struction, maintenance, and code, according to Philip Buehman, adviser of the group. Each Monday afternoon, the twenty students who compose the club meet and discuss interesting facts and phases of radio. During these ses- sions, as well as at other times, they work in their lab. The laborlatory is on the third Hoor, in the room to the left as one enters the old school Lgymnasium. In this room these students have gathered many tools with which to work-almost any tool necessary for amateur radio work. Also there are various test apparati for testing tubes, radio circuits, and voltages. Girls in the club are mostly interested in Radio code, while the boys tend towards experimenting with different phases of radio, and also towards the construction of sets such as transceivers, which are used as a broadcast station and a receiving radio combined. There are but two requirements for membership in the Radio Club: that the person be a student of T. H. S. and that he or she be interested in any technical phase of radio. 152

Stamp llluh The T. H. S. Stamp Club, which had been disbanded during the war, was re-organized in the fall of 1945 with twenty-four members. It has met every Tuesday throughout the year. The purpose of the club is to introduce to students the romance, art, history, and geography found in the study of the common postage stamp, and to further the spirit of friendship among students with a common interest. The climax of the year's work was the exhibit held in April, in which most of the members and some non-members participated. Officers for the year were Bill Weaver, president, Shirley Altman, vice-president, Dorothy Polk, secretary, and Dan Driggers, sergeant at arms. For the second semester officers were Bill Weaver, president, Albert Gwinn, vice-president, Paul Orth, secretary, and Dan Driggers, sergeant at arms.
