High Schools Adopt
Forum Discussions
Prize Contribution
BY CoroIie Hurley, IS
Woodrow Wilson High School

Did you know that the high
schools have what we call forum?
This idea is definitely not new one
as those Of you who take Latin will
find comments about forums way
back in the time of the Romans.
This idea Is to take the place OF
the debating teams in our parents
time.
The schools are now getting to-
gether at meetings and briefing
themselves on the material to be
used for discussion.
Some of our topics are: "Atomie
Eenergy Control" the United Ma
tons and an international Law.
In our school, we have had two
meetings and have been given read
ing material.
A couple of our most outstanding
members are Laura Weese and
Katherine Crenshaw.
To have such an organization, of
course, you have to have a supervi-
sor. Ours is Miss Mary Gillespie.
Some time later, we are supposed
to have the first meeting of the
forum. The high schools will send
representatives to this.
In our school, I know, and prob
ably in the other high schools also,
the enrolment has not been closed,
so It's now your chance If you're
interested in discussing up-to-date
problems.

Adventures at Camp
Prize Contribution
By joseph {. Kostonek, II
St. Michoel's School

Last summer, group OF boys
from around here left on a char
tered bus for the Elks' Boys Camp,
located on beautiful lake in the
Blue Ridge Mountains at Pen-Mar,
Md. The trip took about two hours,
and we were all good friends by the
time we arrived.
After we were assigned hunks in
the barracks, we had a swell supper
In the big mess hall, and then we
all sang around a campfire. After
we met the counsellors, they told
us it was time to go to bed. Some
of us didn't keep quiet after lights
out, so we were disciplined. We had
to walk up and down stretch about
a block long for a half hour. After
that we were quiet when 1t was
time to go to sleep.
We went on an overnight hike,
and that was really fun. A truck
went along to take food and extra
bedding. We hiked across the
mountain and bedded down on the
other side. 1t was fun drinking
water from a mountain spring. The
scenery was beautiful from the top
of the mountain, and we could see
places that were miles away.
We played all sorts of games, went
swimming every day, had tourna-
ments and contests, and ate three
really big meals every day. We
could have second and third help
ings.
l hope I get to 60 to camp again
next year because it was lots Of fun.

Portrait Of q Korean lady, by
Laverne M. Ruth. member Of the
National Photographic Society.
Analysis and criticism by Harry
B. Shaw. fellow of the National
Photographic Society.
This is an interesting study Of a
racial type not common in the
United States, but of particular
appeal to us at this time. The prin-
cipal light was evidently of soft
and rather diffuse character. The
fll-in light, whether from a re-
fector or from a distant spot or
foodlight, softened all shadows and
revealed detail even in the black
hair, thus revealing the contours Of
this type Of face without accentuat-
ing them; at the same time, the
texture of the skin is indicated
rather than fully revealed. Appar-
emily little or no retouching has
been attempted. The background,
too, is well selected and placed in
relation to the tones of the head,
yielding a soft contrast throughout.
The black hair, very dark eyes
and heavy eyelids render the light
ing of such a subject far from easy.
In one respect, Mr.. Ruth has not

sthat will come with improvements
in that industry.
Hand in hand with the photog-
rapners are the laboratory tech
nicians and research specialists.
These technicians, skilled in chem
istry and optics, play major role
in the progress of the Photographic
industry and provide many we'll

studios and finishing concerns, and
in the big laboratories of the film
and chemical manufacturers.
Schooling Advised.
There are only two practical ways
to enter the Photographic profess
sion. One is by studying photo
graphy in a recognized school and
the other way Is through appren-
ticeship. Many of our best photo
graphers have come up the hard
way by carrying equipment for
the experienced photographer and
learning his methods. But this
method does not always give the
beginner well-rounded knowledge
of the subject.
So our advice Is this: If you
intend taking up photography as
profession go to good school and
learn your subject in the same way
that a doctor or lawyer does
through hard study. Even If you
are scheduled for college you will
find an increasing number each
year that major in the subject with
a degree in fine arts. Investigate
the sibilities-theres a great
future in it for VOll

the news photographer, who covers
all the crime, sports, society and
general news stories. There's seldom
a dull moment in the life of the
man who works for the newspapers
and news services. He goes every
where, sees the action as it takes
place and has the thrill of see
ing his work appear on the pages
of the daily newspapers.
Magazine photographers specialize
more in the feature type of photo
news stories and are more inclined
toward shooting series of sequences
Of pictures on a subject than the
newspaper cameramen. Most maya
zine photographers are recruited
from the ranks Of the news photogs.
Pick up any magazine and you
will see the work of the advertising
photographer. Formerly classed with
the commercial photographers,
these cameramen now follow high
ly specialized branch of their own
with special equipment and studios
that match the most elaborate OF
Hollywood. When models are used.
as they frequently are, advertising
photography calls for close tie-in
between portraiture and commercial
prasticeS.
Used in Crime Detection.
For those who would prefer en-
ployment with local or Federal gov
eminent, we suggest that they in
vestigate the field of crime detection
by camera with an emphasis on the
study of photomicrography, ultra
violet photography and other means
of detecting forged documents by
Photographic means. On the other
hand, photography is being used
every day by specialists who track
down another type of criminal
disease We are all familiar with
the X-ray photograph, but in addi-
ton to this well-known aid to the
photography is con-
tributing in many other ways in
the battle for health. Photographic
case histories are kept by many
doctors and hospitals, the United
States Public Health Service and
other institutions both In color and
black and white - motion picture
and stills.
Motion picture photography, far
from being the exclusive province
of Hollywood, is field that is grow
ing daily by leaps and bounds.
There are several contributing fac
tors that will lend impetus to this
branch Of the profession for years
to come. First, the newsreel indus
try Is as strong as ever and requires
numbers Of cameramen to cover ex-
banding fields Of operation. But
even more important Is the influ-
ence of the 16-mm. field, which is
mushrooming all over the country.
Visual Aid Field.
This may be surprising to many
who are not aware OF the great
upswing of interest since the war
in visual education. Many firms in
all parts of the country are shoot
ing thousands Of feet of film daily
on subjects that are taught in every
school level. And large percentage
Of visual aids motion pictures are
shot on 16-mm. film. This industry
has become so important in recent
years that several manufacturers of
the best known 35-mm. professional
movie cameras have designed 16-
nm. pro cameras Of equal versa
tility.
Another great factor influencing
the demand for movie cameramen
Is television. Thousands OF COM
petent operators will be needed
within the next few years to handle
the immense television coverage

| lust Between
Yourselves
BY Philip H. Love

Some authorities list Harry 3.
Truman as the 32d President of the
United States; others insist that he's
No. 80. Both groups can prove-to
their own satisfaction, at least
that they are correct.
Who's Who in America The
Encyclopedias Britannica" and the
Britannica 1916 Book of the Year"
all identify Mr.. Truman as the 33d
President, as does presidents on
Parade" a picture book prepared by
two Library of Congress employees,
Hirst D. Milhollen and Milton Kap-
Ian (Macmillan.
In the list of Presidents pub
lished in the Congressional Direc-
tory, however, and also in the World
Almanac, No. 80 appears before Mr..
Truman'S name.
*4 X
The disagreement traces back to
Grover Cleveland, whose two terms
in the White House 1885-1889 and
1893-189O were separated by the
presidency of Benjamin Harrison
1889-1893). Because his terms were
not consecutive, it is argued, he must
be listed as if he had been two diff
ferent Presidents. the 22d and the
oath. He himself is said to have
held that view.
The Directory and the Almanac,
however, list him only as No. ~
and make William Mckinley No. "A.
Both publications are, of course.
careful to explain that the figures
preceding the names in its lists in
dictate the number of individuals
who have served"
What it all boils down to is SIM
ply that Mr.. Truman, no matter
what his designation in Who's
Who and elsewhere, Is indisputably
the 32d man to become President.
Another controversy that goes
back q long way has to do with
whether George Washington was
the first President or the ninth. It
is, as you might suspect. an argu-
ment that involves a bit Of hair
splitting.
Those who contend that WASH
ington was No. insist that he was
preceded in the presidency by
Thomas Mexican Of Delaware, John
Hanson, Maryland; Elias Boudinot,
New Jersey: Thomas Mifflin, Penn
sylvania; Richard Henry Lee, Vir-
GINA; Nathaniel Gorham, Massa-
chusetts; Arthur St. Clair, Pennsyl-
vania, and Cyrus Griffin, Virginia.
Under the Articles of Confedera-
ton, sometimes called the First
Constitution, all these men, as
presiding officers Of Congress, held
the official title, president Of the
United States in Congress Assem-
bled." (John Hancock also was
elected to that office, but did not
serve)
The fallacy of the argument is.
of course, that 1t brushes aside the
fact that the Articles of Confedera-
ton were operative only until the
Constitution went into effect, March
4, 1889. And Washington unques-
tionably was the first President UNI
der the Constitution.

Occasionally we receive inquiries
from our readers on the ACCESSIBILITY
of taking up photography as pro-
fesSion. And we are always quick
to point out that photography now
as never before, In its many rapidly
expanding fields, is becoming one
Of the most highly paid and re-
spected professions available for
the present day career seeker. The
field is wide open to both men and
women and, In its many ramifica-
lions, will provide anything that
person might desire in the way of a
job-from the thrills of sports
photography to the absorbing work
Of a laboratory technician.
The average person thinks of the
professional photographer as the
man whom they see from time to
time in a studio when they wish to
have their picture taken for por-
trait or passport. But the man be-
hind the portrait camera is only a
specialist in one branch Of vast
industry that ultimately affects the
lives of all Of us. Down the street
from the portrait studio will be
found quite another kind of photog-
rapher. He calls himself a com
mercial photographer" Although
he may also on occasions, take
portraits with his camera, his main
income is derived from filling the
Photographic needs of business con-
Germs On an average days assign
ment he may start off by taking
views of a damaged automobile for
an insurance company, go from
there to make a shot of house
for a real estate dealer, picture
the operations of new steam shovel
for a manufacturer, and finish of
by copying document for trial
lawyer.
Finisher Is an Expert. 4
Both the commercial photogra-
pher and the portrait photographer
are highly successful businessmen
limited in income only by their
degree of proficiency and their abil-
fly to find enough competent help
to take care of the work. The photo
finisher operates another side of the
profession. Equipped with modern
machinery and expert technicians,
he is the man who develops and
prints thousands of pictures every
day that are left at corner drug
stores.
On the more glamorous side is
