The Audio-Visual Club is involved with all functions concerning the videotape machine. Their major duty is to tape any sports events requested by coaches and to play back the tapes for team viewing. To coordinate assignments among club members, faculty advisor Mr. Keur regu­ larly distributes questionnaires and cal­ endars, producing one of the most prompt and efficiently run clubs in the school.
After receiving assignments, the stu­ dents become basically independent. Un­ supervised, they are responsible for both the A-V room keys and the safety of the equipment. Novices work with the more experienced members to hone their tracking, filming, and zoom skills. Most learn the hard way that the equipment contains an automatic audio-recording device that objectively retains the oaths uttered feelingly close to the machine, and replays them for the reviewing sports teams. Many have vivid recollec­ tions of working on the tower swaying in a freezing wind to tape field hockey games, while others remember the time the machine obstinately refused to re­ cord, stumping even veteran filmers, until
Mr. Keur was summoned and plugged in a cord. While providing an entertaining and educational experience, the A-V club welcomes any number of new people, male or female, as long as they are eager to learn the basics of motion filming and are willing to spend a few late afternoons at school to gain firsthand experience.
