SOPHOMORE LUIS FLORES removes the bottles of developer from the closet. Luis worked on development and priming and mixed the chemicals to be used. The darkroom was well equipped with a tina enlarger, three dryers, adequate trays and running water. Numbers were kept small because the work required training and patience. Many boys would find the work too exacting. FRANK BERNARSKI and Dennis Lydting were iust beginners this year but learned a great deal. They helped with developing when older students couldn't make it. The club turned out over 1000 prints. . . BROTHER UNSWORTH, moderator of the Camera Club and school publications, supervised the students' work and taught picture taking and development. He has been in charge of yearbooks and camera clubs for eight years. SOPHOMORE FRED MARTIN looks up from his print drying task to get his picture taken. Fred worked in the afternoons and Saturdays. The group turned out high quality work, made few mistakes. Many thought the finished pictures to be the work of professionals. They were surprised to learn that all work was done at the school.
