Working on the display to publicize the club pro- ject, Terry Sell poses Cindi Minor for pictures. Photo club members experimented with a unique service this year. During January the club advertised a portrait and candid service with a display in the cafe- teria hall showcase. Gaining experience in the type of work done in commercial studios, club members sold the finished products to their customers. Profits were used instead of dues to pay for a page in the yearbook. Other special events of the year were two picture- taking field trips, one to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, the other to North Cheyenne Canyon. Members gained practical experience in the techniques of photography and development. Club leadership in 1968-1969 was provided by Mr. Frederick Southern, sponsor: Ed Pompea, presi- dent, Terry Sell, vice-president: Laura Engels, secretary- treasurerg and Bill Giese, l.C.C. representative.
