HMS History of Film Museum a Hit!

Story and photos by Dianely L.

The theatre students of Haltom Middle School worked extra hard to make our school's first ever museum! It had many fascinating things. From Walt Disney to Tim Burton, from the history of gushy, romantic films to terrifying horror films, the museum had it all!

April DeLeon's entry won first place. Can you guess who this is?

Walt Disney seemed to be the most popular topic. There were many displays about him.

Many people thought the most fun display was the sewing machine from around 75 years ago. You could take a piece of tissue paper and make stitching holes in it by turning the wheel by hand.

One of the other popular sections was the make-up display. Did you know that "medium" blush back in the 1920s is like a strong, neon-looking blush today? It's amazing how things change over time!

Here are pictures of more of the great displays.
