PHOTOGRAPHIC TECHNOLOGY Mr. C B Nt BLiim- See your seif as others see you Is not what we pro jess, We d rather make you beautiful With photo-tech finesse. But what a struggle! Oh, don’t go away— we didn't mean to insinuate that mother nature didn't pul! all the strings she could for you. You see the camera makes the most of diose lit- tle things of which the human eye just isn't conscious so our lament is to the camera—not to you. Pinhole cameras are the highlight of our freshmen year. Although these uncanny card- board contraptions are the joke of the class at first, we find out ironically enough as we ad- vance to using better cameras, that some of our best shots were taken with a pinhole. Most of our junior year is spent beating a path in and out of little white blocks wondering where our next shot is coming from, good com- position and perspective being our aim in life. We’re seniors and the practice house is ours. Its studios and laboratories are fully equipped for all types of photography. Ma- trices don’t register, camera club dues must be paid, and four pictures seem too much for the salon. In general life is plenty nerve-wracking. Patience is a thing to be rationed, And we be- gin to hope that the old boys were right when they quote, Perseverance generates success”. 22
