Existing light, sometimes called light, includes artificail light which
available naturally exists in the scene, daylight indoors, and twilight outdoors. It’s the light that happens to be on the sceine, such as the light from table and floor lamps, spotlights, neon signs, windows, skylights, candles, fireplaces, and any other light source that porvides the existing lighting.
Advantages of existing-light picture taking are tremendous because you have not altered the illumination in the scene. Even a skillfully lighted flash may look artifical when compared with a good existing-light picture.

El quejarse de los problemas es lo mas fácil del problema. Como padres nosotros debemos estar en el medio de la educación de nuestros hijos. Muchos padres no asisten a las juntas de padres y maestros (PTA). Otros asisten pero no hablan, no preguntan, no actúan, dejando a los principales y maestros que decidan y hagan todo. El systema de nombrar la directiva de los PTA es tan democrática como la dictadura. Los padres nunca son animados a ser oficiales de la directiva Estos son escojidos por un comité que nunca se ve. El ano pasado, y todos los anos que yo recuerdo la eleccidh de oficiales fue “cubierta” en una nota a los padres invitándolos a la gente, en una frase que decia: “Habra una pequéfra junta de negocios.” Este systema se uso en todas las escuelas elementarías. Ni un solo padre se quejo de esto o de que solamente un padre de familia fue nombrado para cada puesto. De nuevo les digo que es nuestro deber, nuestra responsabilidad de hacer preguntas y pedir cambios cuando no estamos de acuerdo. Y la mejor area donde debemos de actuar es en el plan de estudios que se usa para ensérTar a los nin6s, el “curriculum”. Cuando tantos niños gradúan de high school no sabiendo leer o deletrear bien, después de doce anos de escuela, algo estazmuy mal. Pero quejamos no es todo lo que tenemos que hacer... tenemos que trabajar para lograr los mejoramientos!

Parents, Do Your Part
Complaining is the easiest part of facing a problem. As parents we must be right in the middle of our children’s education. Many parents do not attend PTA meetings. Others play a passive role, letting principals and teachers dictate their roles. The system of nominating officers for the PTA is as democratic as a dictatorship. Parents are never encouraged to run for office. Officers are “hand-picked” by an obscure nominating committee. At the first meetins of the PTA’S in all the elementary schools the election of officers was camouflaged in a note to the parents inviting them to the meeting with a last sentence that said: “A short business meeting will be held.” Not one of the parents complained about this or the fact that only one parent for each office had been placed as a candidate. Again, parents, its our duty to question, and ask for changes where we don’t agree. And .the best area to concern ourselves with is that of the curriculum. When students graduate from high school unable to read and spell we need to be concerned. But complaining is not all we need to do.... we must work for
improvements!
Those awarded 25 year pins were Alma Naomi Hall and Zoe Stephens.
New teachers in the system were treated to a tour of the city after the conclusion of the general assembly. There are 51 new teachers in the system. Eight of these are new units however.
