DeCrtstoloro, Theron VanBrakIe, Martin Bluestetn, Stanley Finer, Robert Rosoff This past year under the very able direc- tion of our genial mentor, Mr. DeCristoforo. an expert on photography, we of The Cam era Club were instructed in the art of tak- ing, developing, printing, and enlarging pic- tures in the school's photography laboratory. The laboratory in our opinion is one of the public school systemls best equipped. We have held a contest to determine who has captured themost interesting picture ol this, our last year at Memorial. The person who is chosen for having shot the best pic- ture will receive a prize consisting of some photography equipment that he needs. For this affair, we hope Doctor Crudden and some of the instructors from the Art De- partment will be available as judges. Melvin Chessler is president: Theron Van Brackle, vice president: Irwin S. Rosenbloom. secretary, Martin Feldman, treasurer. Robert Rosoff, Arnold Visnick and james Branche are also regular club members. At our first and second meetings we were taught the fundamentals of photography. ,......-- .-f t' .,.t , ,,.. 1 if ,,-, . , , --Q...
