PROJECTIONISTS’ CLUB The Projectionists Club, under the sponsorship of Mr. Dalton Howard, is in charge of the audio-visual equipment of the school. Students from this group are trained to operate opaque projectors and projectors for motion pictures, film strips, and slides. They install the public ad¬ dress system for the auditorium activities and for football and other outdoor games. Club members perform a real service to the faculty by relieving teachers of machine operation during periods of audio-visual instruction. The Club was an out-growth of a general science class activity in 1948. A group of boys became interested in the use and operation of the varied equipment of the school. Their interest and sub¬ sequent skill of operation in handling audio¬ visual aids has filled a real need in our school. The 1952-53 officers of the steadily- increasing club were George Hotton, President; Robert Sturgis, Secretary.

At the first meeting last fall, Marie Dixon was elected President; Joyce Matthews, Vice President; Ann Lee White 7 Treasurer; and Jean Small, Sec¬ retary. It was decided that the members had to have twenty-five points in order to receive their pins. A committee made a list of the things they could do, includ¬ ing club work, interviews, visits to places connected with nursing, and ob¬ servations over at the hospital. At Thanksgiving and Christmas the girls sent baskets of food and clothing to two needy families, and they acquired a wheelchair for the school from the Sal¬ vation Army. After January 1, five girls went to see Mrs. Layfield about their sister nurses. A ,, sister M nurse is usually a Scalpel, please . . . first year student at the hospital who is assigned to one of the girls. Near the end of the year, a tea was given by the girls in honor of their sisters . The last activity of the year was a banquet at which all of the girls who had earned enough points were given their pins. These pins were donated by the Junior Board Auxiliary. 15

PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB LEFT-RIGHT: Rene Kawalec, Max Franks, Gerry Bounds, Ronald German, Buster Truitt. STANDING: Mr. Howard, Advisor. Begun in 1949, the Photography Club is still quite young. Despite that and its small size, it performs a very important service to the school by por¬ traying its program through pictures. During the year the group photo¬ graphed such activities as athletic teams and events, play and operetta casts, clubs, homerooms. Senior func¬ tions, May Day, and pictures for the school newspaper. Its major contri¬ bution to the school is photographing and printing the pictures of the many groups that appear in the Yearbook. Ronald German, Buster Truitt, and Gerry Bounds-- working?
