Stage Force Warren Christopherson, Rudolph Siira, Robert Westerberg, Robert Bondus, Mr. Melby, Eunice Anderson, Betty Nichols, Gladys Brown, Vivian Peterson, Viola Burgess, Dawn Ripley. Upon the completion of the high school in 1930 and the addi- tion of a larger auditorium, there was a need for an organization that would be responsible for all stage settings, designing, and decorating. The first stage force was organized under the supervision of Mr. G. B. Melby with Everett Drummond as manager. As years passed, better class plays were chosen, and classic operas were produced. Each year the stage force determined to improve its Work until today the Alexan- dria High School has the reputation of having the most elaborate scenery and lighting effects of any High School in the state. Small models are made for all productions. In this way the right perspectives are measured and all difficulties in lighting and color are overcome. The scenery is made in jogs and fitted together to com- plete the scene. In late years huge double jogs have been made and painted on both sides, having one scene painted on one side and a second scene painted on the reverse side. The many tricky lighting effects are part of the scenery. This year the stage force, under the management of Gordon B. Melby has been co-managed by Dawn Ripley and Bob Westerberg. Other members are, Seniors: Eunice Anderson, Viola Burgess, Betty Nichols, and Vivian Peterson. Juniors: Gladys Brown, Bob Bondus, and Rudolph Siira. Sophomores: Warren Christopherson. Sixteen

Under the leadership of Editor-in-Chief Ralph Thornton and Associate Editor Dorothy Seed, the staff of the Alex High Timesv, a bi-weekly school newspaper, successfully finished its fifteenth year of publication. One of the notable innovations which made its appearance in the paper this year was the streamlined form of make-up. Several staff members attended the Minnesota Press Associa- tion Convention at the University where they attended classes on jour- nalism. Later, several copies of the paper were submitted to the Na- tional Scholastic Press Association Critical Service from which the Alex High Timesu received a first class rating. Kathryn Westerfeld managed the business department with Bette Sather as broadway columnist and Kathleen Kiger as circulation manager. Gerald Johnson served as Sports Editor until a heavy load of activities forced him to give up the position which was filled by Roy Heinecke. Dennis Nelson was in charge of editorials. Other seniors on the staff included Marcelyn Stoppel, Andrea Wick, Yvonne Hustad, Merlin Roth, and Janet Anderson, reportersg Edward Fiala, Elsa Monagle, Irene Erickson, and Geraldine Skoglund, typists.
