Two Darkrooms
Available For
Photo Students
For the first time in the history
of GHS, there are two photograph
ic darkrooms in the school.
Both are sponsored by the Hi
News and printing classes.
One of the darkrooms is locat
ed across the hall, directly in
front of the journalism class,
while the other is located above
this on the second floor and in
ti’ont of Mr. Anthony Blysak’s
science room.
Both darkrooms are equipped
with running water, developing
trays, enlargers, printers, and
other essential equipment.
First One Built
About three years ago the dark
room upstairs was equipped for
joint use by the students in gen
eral science and in journalism.
But the distance from journalism
class to the upstairs darkroom
made it inconvenient for journ
alism students.
During the past spring, princi
ple C. W. Twii’ord and printing
instructor, E. L. Roberts decided
to make photography a unit of the
coure in printing, so the down
stairs daj'kroom has been com
pleted this fall for use of these
classes.
The upstairs darkroom has a
2V2- by 3Vt Federal enlarger,
while the downstairs darkroom
has a 2^4 by 3^4 De Jur enlarger a
factory built printer and an elec
trical print dryer.
Work in the setting up of both
darkrooms was. done by the stu
dents under Mr. Roberts.
Hi News Owns Equipment
Equipment in both of the rooms
is the property of the Hi News
and printing department.
Mr. Blysak gives a unit in pho
tography to his students in gen
eral science and then when they
come to journalism or printing
they have some idea of elemen-
try photography.
As soon as some of the advance
students become proficient
enough they will do the- photQ:
graphic work of the Hi News and
will make prints available to stu
dents at reasonable prices.
