A basic tool of education is the use ot machines to augment textbook information and lectures. Such a tool is used at Soldan in the varied forms of audio-visual equipment. Film and filmstrip projectors, radios, record players, a tape recorder and even a television set are among these useful aids. These ma- chines require skilled workers to operate smoothly. Herein lies the purpose of the Pro- iectionist Club. Members of this organization Cwhich is also part of the Service Club? donate their study hall time to run these machines for any teacher who requests them.

Here you will find some of the most devoted, helpful, and loyal students at Soldan. The qualifications for rnembershipv-high grade point and citizenship-explain the in- stinctive reaction of members even while off- duty to guests in our corridors.

While on duty, Service Club members aid the school in such various facets as office assistants, librarians, lunchroom workers, as- sistants to the doctor or nurse, gym helpers and projectionists. The importance of these jobs, however small, is easily exemplified. What utter chaos would result from such a seemingly insignificant task as the sorting of absentee slips, if it were left undone! Workers in the lunchroom help the staff to serve the noon meal in surroundings that are orderly and sanitary. Many students work behind the counter to sell the food while others straighten and clean the lunch- room between lunch periods. Checks, also handled by Service Club members, are sold before school and at the beginning of each lunch period. Gym helpers relieve the physical education teachers of some of their load by refereeing games. This service allows the teachers to take care of much of their paper work and facilitates more personal supervision. Sixty-three

Not all students become skilled in the operation of all facilities in the audio-Visual department. Some are specifically trained for certain jobs: if a member has exceptional skill, he is allowed to learn more and more about the related phases of audio-visual edu- cation. One student Went on to learn such processes as recording on magnetized tape, systems of splicing, and other such tasks. ln order to keep the department running efficiently, all members meet in room li7 for advisory. Here, in addition to routine busi- ness, schedules are made, assignments are distributed, and the duties of the day are arranged. rojecfioniznfa t 1 PA. trouble.
