Clubs Offer Varied Interests
"Have you ever wondered what silk screen, montage, collage, and wood blocks are? If you have, then come to an Art Club meeting and find out!" says Pat LaSalle '65, the club's president. He adds that they are all art medias and will be used throughout the year in its activities.
Last year the club's big money‑making project was handmade Christmas cards. "We were planning to make cards again this year," says Pat, "but our schedule was too cramped and we didn't have time to finish them. But next year we plan to sell them again!"
According to Mr. Earl Meitzner, club sponsor, the purpose of the Art Club is to provide interested students, who can't fit a regular art class into their schedule, with artistic activities, or to supplement regular art class work.
Sketching field trips, a poster clinic, and an all‑school art exhibit are to be held in the spring and will round out the Art Club's interesting agenda for this year.
BUSINESS CLUB
The Maine West Business Club is open to all interested juniors and seniors. Its main objective is to bring to all interested students a better understanding of the business world around them. This year the club has been divided into two clubs, one for girls, and one for boys. Each club has its own sponsor, officers, and meeting dates, but they participate in the same activities, and joint meetings are held for the officers.
The girls' club sponsor is Mrs. Rosella Dieter. The officers are Pat Vogel '64, president; Ruth Salzman '64, vice‑president; Jane Ebert '64, secretary; and Carol Bongiorno '64, treasurer.
The boys' club sponsor is Mr. Wallace Hommerding. The officers are Bruce Northcott '64, president; Dan Ost '65, vice-president; Dave Aegerter '64, first secretary; Dave Simek '64, second secretary; and Dick Braun '65, treasurer.

The girls meet once a month with a speaker at every other meeting. The boys meet about every two weeks and they also have speakers. The speakers are from all phases of business.
During the basketball season, the clubs run the concession stands at the JV and varsity games. With these profits, the clubs go on two field trips a year, sponsor the faculty children's Christmas party, and give a banquet at the end of the year. "I find," said Pat Vogel '64, "that the Business Club has helped me a great deal to better understand the colossal business world."
PHOTO CLUB
The art of photography can be learned at Maine West. The Photography Club is open to any interested person in the school.
Photography is a highly interesting art which can lead to a good job, such as public relations, advertising, and working on a newspaper.
The first step in learning photography is the knowledge of the chemicals and the order in which the picture or film goes in them. Enlarging, which is an art in itself, is another aspect of photography. For this, one must learn the proper exposure for a normal picture, a normal negative, and then the amount of exposure needed for a light or dark negative.
After learning to do this, a person is ready to learn some of the tricks of enlarging to get different effects; for instance, if a screen is placed between the lens of the enlarger and the paper a textured effect will result. If petroleum jelly is put on a piece of glass, leaving the center clear, and the galls is placed in the desired place between the lens and the paper, the entire picture will be blurred except for the point of interest. Many other interesting effects can be obtained through different procedures.
If anyone is interested in joining the Photography Club, he should contact Mr. Roland Wolfe in D-107.
