PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB Plzotograplzy Club The Photography and Aero- nautics Clubs were the first to start what is now known as the HOBBIES CLUB, whose main objective is to inspire young people to have a hobby of their own. The Photography Club was founded in 1945 with Mr. Hum- phreys as sponsor. The first president was Henry Voznick. This club is especially fortunate in having for its sponsor an amateur photographer, who has equipment that the club mem- bers enjoy using. Each year the Photography Club holds a pho- tography contest for the entire school. The Airplane Club began with Mr. Adams as sponsor. It is now know as the Aeronautics Club and is sponsored by Mr. Haynes. Orange and Blue Since the re-establishment of a school paper in the 1945-1946 l ,., school life. Margaret Ashley, assistant editor, and Barbara Guzik, special editor, have con- tributed interesting stories to every issue. Little known facts concerning the town and school have been looked up and report- ed by Jacqueline Johnson and Jane Topping. Herbert Haynes covered all athletic contests as ' sports editor. Kathryn Putnam, art editor, spent many minutes working at the mast-head and drawings. The Christmas issue contained much of her work. To Barbara Dyson, as editor-in- chief, fell the mammoth job of co-ordinating all the activities, correcting the work, selecting stories, making assignments, and nervously and patiently watching typists Anne Hum- phreys and Joyce Highland bring ideas into reality. No lit- tle credit is due Bynum West- 1 ORANGE AND BLUE REVIEW STAFF 'W ,, , , session, the ORANGE AND BLUE REVIEW has become an important part of the students' SCIENCE CLUB moreland, who, as business man- ager, was responsible for seeing the papers delivered and the money collected and deposited. This year saw the birth of two new ideas which, it is hoped, will continue. One is the Stu- dent Opinion Page on which stu- dents give their opinions con- cerning certain questions. The other is the Senior Issue, which was devoted entirely to the seniors. Biographical sketches, future plans and senior auto- graphs feature this last issue of the school year.

-..YW -- .V I HIGH SCHOOL WINS STATE CHAMPS TAKES FIRST IN CLASS C TRACK The absence of track for two years at West Point seemed to be no hindrance as far as track activities were concerned. Be- cause of the lack of interest on the part of other Group III schools, meets were impossible to schedule. The Pointers were forced to enter the State Cham- pionship Meet practically un- tested. In spite of these condi-I tions, West Point came back from Charlottesville with the Group III title. At the Highland Springs In- vitational Meet, West Point came in a strong third, just 2116 points behind Glen Allen. Ken- neth Turner showed very good form in the 440 for West Point's only first place. Wilson, Riddle, Schultz, and Petke turned in good performances against the larger schools. It was at Charlottesville, how- ever, that the Pointers showed their strength. They scored 42 1-3 points to their nearest op- ponent's 201-3. Double wins were scored by Schultz in the 100 and 220, and by Wilson in the shot put and discus. All except two members of the team scored at Charlottesville. Those who scored points in track were: Riddle, Turner, Schultz, Petke, Wilson, Dicker- son, Downey, Berry, Johnson, and Hasty. ONSHIP You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give. Backward, turn backward, O Time, in your flight, And tell me just one thing I studied last night. Lots of people spend time making money and then spend money killing time.-CStar Yel- landl. You are educated if you can do what you ought, whether you want to do it or not.-Herbert Spencer.
