When I joined Key Club at the beginn- ing of my freshman year, I wasn ' t really sure what I was getting into. I had gotten a letter from the club asking me to at- tend their first meeting. I went, found out what the club was all about, talked to the upperclassmen about the club, and officially joined the next week. Since that time. Key Club has given me the opportunity to serve people in the community and school in fun and ex- citing ways. Through the club ' s ac- tivities and Key Club con- ventions, I have made valuable friendships and learned a great deal about leadership and responsibili- ty. Without a doubt, Key Club has been the greatest experience of my high school years. David Lack: •••••••••• Officers: Back: Michael Tisdell. treasurer; David Lack, International secretary.

f i p hotographers learn skills, display talents in camera usage, film processing Photography is n ot as simple as one would think. A lot more is involved than snapping a picture. In order to take a good pic- ture, said Trey Graham, head photographer, you have to set the correct aperature and shut- ter speed. Otherwise, you ' ll get a picture that is either too dark or is unprintable. Using a camera is only the beginning. Photographers must then process the film and print the pictures in the darkroom. Who would think a simple Randy Jefferson checks the negatives to make sure they are all in proper condition. Photographers roll and process all film that is used for the Roundup, football program. Insight, and Directions. Dana Mathis checks the camera ttefore loading it. All equipment must be kept cleans and free of dust in order to get good pictures. Esther Trevino, darkroom manager, is responsible for all chemistry and film supplies. She makes sure that all camera equipment is checked out properly. thermometer could stop our production. Well, it did. Ours broke and we had to special order one. In the meantime, we had to be really careful because if our chemicals are not at the exactly right temperature, our film may come out grainy or under or over exposed. said Esther Trevino, dark room manager. There ' s a lot of outside work to be done, said Randy Jeffer- son. We photograph out-of- town games and many after- school activities for the year- book and newspaper. You can always tell when a deadline is near for one of the publications, said Graham. All of a sudden, there are a stack of photo orders and one of us stays late after school to catch up or comes on Saturday. Photography is easy. Once y ou learn, it ' s all downhill. The main thing to remember is to have your shots look natural, not posed. This gives the yearbook a personal quality, making it something to enjoy and have fun with rather than just read. Being a photographer is great. Photographers 173
