WITH BUX 81 FLASH Fostered and propagated among the youthful Hshutterbugsll of Power Memorial is one of the least publicized of all the school's many and varied activities, the Camera Club. Under the auspices of two of the star photographers of the Power '56, Steve Greaux, the Editor-in-Chief, and his sole consoler and head assistant, Marty Flanagan, this active little society flourishes and grows each successive year. Comprised entirely of Freshmen and Sophomores, the Camera Club devotes itself to the feat of instructing these belabored students in the fine art and the fundamental points of reproduction with box and flash. Once a week this association meets and discusses, experiments and graphically illustrates the procedures undertaken in correct lighting, proper focus, and developmental technique. This teaching, in a year or so, shall prove more than its worth in time spent. Years of practical photographic knowledge is con- densed into a few months and only certain points of great import are stressed more than once. Being supplied with practice cameras by Kodak Photo- graphic Company, the students are using the finest and most modern equipment available to high schools. Their tutors, products of the expert guidance of Brother H. A. Weigand, Yearbook moderator, are accomplished masters in amateur photography as shall be their pupils. when given the time. ff X fyf A ' 1 , -f f 'WQJQWCZ I AM A CAMERA says Jim K.
