RADIO CLUB HE Radio Club is one of the newer organizations of the High School, being introduced last year to satisfy radio-minded students who wished to obtain amateur radio operators' licenses. Although it start- ed out with but a few enterprising individuals, the club can boast of doubled membership this term, two members being girls. At the weekly meetings radio theory and the international code have been mastered. An interesting lecture on the vacuum tube was given by Mary Ann Reeves, the first feminine member. The club is proud of its fully equipped transmitter, and the mem- bers were anxious to pass their license tests in order to operate it. During the year a receiver was built, which automatically gives the members opportunity to put into practice the fundamentals they have grasped. The high school has its own call letter, WZMRQ. Last year one boy received his license to operate his set, and this season President Frank Arvay obtained his. Some members may wish to make a career of radio, as has past President lsrael Sinofsky, who now operates a radio shop in Passaic.

This is a true story, ladeez and gentlemen-and it's little wonder when one glances at the club's interesting program. In November the members provided their companions with enter- tainment plus instruction when they presented a fashion show consisting of a complete wardrobe for a high school girl, made and modeled by themselves. Miss Smith of the DuBarry Pattern Company, commented on the styles and fabrics. ln December the club held a Christmas party at which home-made gifts were exhibited and the club's most newly acquired and highly prized possession, a radio, was allowed to entertain the chosen few. March brought a lecture by Genevieve Blazejowski, who described her travels in Europe and Asia. In May the club held its annual spring dance, which was the grand finale in the year's entertainment. Good luck, l-lil-et-Chi, and may you always have as happy and busy a season as this has beenl

PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB Adviser President JOHN ANDERSON Secretary NANCY FULLER Treasurer CARL BRUBAKER HIS year the Photography Club, besides doing exceptional work in the field of picture taking, has also struck a clever note in interior decoration. ln order to provide a dark room in which to develop their prints, the club mem- bers constructed and installed a system of blinds for the windows of the mechanical drawing room. There Passaic l-ligh's ardent camera fans now come to revel in the mysteries of the little black box. The club has also been working on a snapshot project of various civic and public buildings in Passaic, Upon completion, it will be donated either to the Photography Club or to our Alma Mater. Several group hikes were taken in and about Passaic to capture some candid glimpses of the city. This scheme provided excellent material for comparison, criticism, and appraisal. The group also witnessed some illus- trated lectures on photography by prominent photographers, among them George Holm of the Herald News staff. Included in the entertainment during the meetings were pictures featuring comedies, demonstrations of camera techniques by expert photographers, and full length films. With only three years of organized activity behind it, Mr. Bowes' Camera Club has already gained a wealth of experience in the field of photography. JOHN BOWES
