Some pupils at Sandy Elemen
tary School are taking advantage
of the generosity of a parents'
club and getting an early jump on
possible careers in the film and
television industry.
While none of the students in
volved in Tuesday 's filming of the
school's annual interm ediate

strongly that they will pursue
such a career, they have found
operating video cameras brings
some immediate advantages
"When it comes around for so
meone to tape,” noted sixth
grader Jon Edwards, “ you sure
get a lot of friends ”
Edwards, along with fellow
sixth-graders Mike Hamrick and
Patrick Archer, have become the
mainstays in librarian Mary
Smith's crew of cameramen who
film school events like talent
shows, plays and iessons
" I t ’s a good c a r e e r ed
thing—even if it's long shot,”
Mrs Smith pointed out
The crews work with a cassette
recorder, camera and television
monitor that were purchased for
the school earlier this year by the
Sandy E le m e n ta ry P a re n t-

money selling Christmas tree or

The school is open to any
interested children ages 4
to 15. No pre-registration is
necessary.
Leader Kelly Fischer of
Boring said the emphasis
in the class sessions will be
on d esirable c h a ra c te r
traits such as love, cheer
fulness, patience and kind

Mrs. Smith said some moved so
much, it was like getting seasick.
Those problems have virtually
vanished and the trio have grown
accustomed to the equipment
enough to look at it as a career
goal, even if it is a long shot.
“ I think it would be an in
teresting job,” Hamrick conclud
ed.
If paying for wasted electricity
turns you off, maybe, next time,
you should wait for a full load of
clothes before turning your
washing machine on.
