ART CLUB The Art Club. in its first year of service to the school. gathered an enthusiastic' group of artistically in- clined boys. Under the expert guidance of Mr. Richard Lunetta. who joined the Academy faculty last fall as 21 language instructor. a number of prospective painters. modelers. and sculptors were given the oppor- tunity to develop their talents and to discover previously hidden artistic' abilities, Unlike the other clubs. the Art Club had no officers and held no formally scheduled meetings. Its members met in the art workshop, a convenient room in lfuller Hall basement. where boys gathered in- formally and worked at their own pace under Mr. l.unetta's supervision. The workshop also housed the art materials and supplies of the group. During the year various items were added to the Clubis assort- ment of art equipment. XY'ith the workshop expanding. the future of the Art Club looks bright indeed. Undoubtedly its cul- tural impact will be felt in the life of the school. Participation in the program helps the members use their free time constructively as well as to observe representative phases of artistic endeavor. Perhaps the Club's greatest contributions are its encouragement of self-expression in boys and its development of their ap- preciation of art forms. b9

CAMERA CLUB The c.imcff.i Club is set up to give boys a wider knowledge of the use of camera equipment and to teach them how to develop and print their own film. The club is also responsible for much of the photog- raphv work for both the weekly and quarterly editions of Life. the school magazine. and for the Wildcat, the yearbook. The Club participates in the Vermont State Camera Club exhibit at Burlington as well as in the Southern Vermont Exhibit at Manchester. At the end of the year the members put on a local exhibition of pictures they have taken during the year. The photographic equipment owned by the Club was added to this year by a gift from the Argus Com- pany of an Argus C-3 and an Argus 75. Through purchase the Club acquired a wide-angle lens and a telescopic lens to augment the usefulness of the new cameras. They have proved helpful in the coverage of sports events, Movies were taken of home football games to assist the coaching staff in their task of sharpening the teams performance. The bulk of the photographic work in the XY'ildcat, other than the senior portraits and organization groups which are professionally taken, is taken care of by Camera Club members under Mr. Bosworth's superv ision. 1 j Quebman.
