Because of space the membership was limited to the following students: John Sherman, Payson Clark, Peter Ohrstrom, William Kenny, Peter Wu, Efstathios Markantonatos, and James Tuller. The club met once a week on Fridays to work in the darkroom and carried on open discussions on photography. A high point of the year was a session with Mr. Morris Jaffe, a professional photographer, who lectured the club and demonstrated not only darkroom procedures, but also camera techniques. The club devoted many hours to exploring the varied aspects of photography, which included camera work, developing negatives, and printing photographs.
