Communication For Education Without communication knowledge is not shared and the learning process becomes stag- nant. The Communications Club played an im- portant role in aiding the faculty at SPFHS in their efforts to educate the student body. Help was administered in forms of photog- raphy services, mimeographing, printing and movie productions. Performing these services fulfilled the club's purpose of keeping the faculty abreast with modern teaching methods. Recordings of pertinent television broadcasts were made available for teachers' use. The recordings kept the students up-to-date on current affairs, and for the first time, a school club produced and directed movies. These films were shown tp students during class time. By using their imaginations, and contributing their talents, members of the Communications Club enriched their own knowledge as well as that of their fellow students.

Aviation Club Gets Off the Ground t Aviation has come a long way since the Soup- with Camel and its advancement has not been stifled at SPFHS. Aviation Club emerged this year attracting many members. The club's man objectives were basic flight instruction, actual flight experience and an in- 1 creased appreciation for aviation. The club advisor, Mr. Crespy and three other members, l having already received their pilot's licenses, inspired new members to earn theirs. Perhaps the most exciting and beneficial aspect of the club was the field trips. Several trips were made to Newark Airport. The first trip was an orientation flight given by Mr. Crespy, g 7 , while later trips included tours of control and W W fi? radar rooms and the famed 747. Two other trips were made to air shows at Reading and Rhinebeck. 'f all fists ,Eye ,K JLKJU You mean YOU don't know how to fly either? Tom Posbergh.

Providing incentive for new members, the club entered New Jersey competition in early fall. By spring the club was competing with other schools from surrounding states. Besides the construction of the aircraft, many hours of practice were needed before entering competition. The most important events entered were the precision aerobatics stunts which followed difficult standards set up by the Academy of Aerobatics in Washington, incorporating many formations within specific time limits. Aside from more serious competition, club members found the dog fighting and balloon bursting events most enioyable. Meetings provided a needed opportunity for members to trade or sell equipment or for the club advisor, Mr. John Gayewski, to discuss plane construction. Model Airplane Club members have gained invaluable knowledge about aircraft, aiding them in the pursuit of future careers in aviation. 173
