HOBBIES O Ji. Mr. Crane supervised the technicalities ot photography. This past year Prospect's Radio Club again gave members the opportunity to maintain ham radio licenses. During club meet- ings they had a chance to communicate with radio stations of other schools and communities. The cIub's own station was operated from the Industrial Arts classrooms. Co-sponsors of the club, Mr. Baker and Mr. Wanner, possess licenses and often helped students operate ham radio sets. F SIGHT, SCUND Students investigated the techniques of developing and enlarging their pictures. Mr. Etherton and Mr, Crane were the program directors for this year's Camera Club. Meeting every second Tuesday of the month, the fifteen regular members learned the secrets of the dark room through actual experience of developing the film, making the prints, and enlarging the pictures. The major aim of camera enthusiasts was to improve focusing for clearer, brighter, and more interesting photographs. ..---'ff RADIO CLUB.
