Stage Crew Audio-Visual Aids Wherever public address or mo- tion picture projection equipment is used, the Audio-Visual Aids Club can be found on the job. This year’s club boasted a member- ship of thirty-one. Meetings were held every two weeks. Officers were chosen early in the fall. Pat Jenkins was elected president, Don Renk, vice-president; and Dave St. Clair, Secretary. At the beginning of the year new members were put through a training course to learn the fundamental workings of the equipment they would operate. As in past years, all classroom movies were shown by club opera- tors under the direction of Mr. William Cleveland, the clubs ad- visor. At the close of the school year, the club had trained thirty-one expert operators and had performed an invaluable service to Downers High. 18 The unsung heros of any production put on in the DGHS auditorium are members of the stagecrew In every play or activity undertaken by the students, members of the stage crew supervised by Mr. Kenneth Lage, handle the job of putting up scenery, taking care of the lights, tending curtain and keeping things in general running smoothly. Whenever necessary, they also construct sets that may be needed. This group of industrious workers, in order to accomplish the task laid out for them, must donate most of their spare time during and after school towards their work on the stage. Because of the many hours of hard work put in by the stage crew, the recognition received from the student body may not seem entirely adequate, but they do have the thanks and appreciation of every student and member of the faculty.

May I have an aspirin, please? I have a headache These are words that the clinic assistants hear many times every day throughout the year. However, headaches rank only second on the current list of student complaints; stomach disturbances claim first place With Miss Myna Beck, school nurse, as their supervisor, the assistants watch the clinic each day, giving aspirins and applying dressings. They must keep a detailed record of who comes in and at what time, how long he stays, what his complaint is, what the assistant does for him, and what time he leaves Each of the girls who acts as an assistant is in the clinic every day for one hour, having arranged to give up one of her study halls to help the students In this way, she helps operate one of the important functions of our school.

Lab Assistants A group of students representing the three branches of the science department work as laboratory as- sistants They work before and after school and during free periods, per- forming the numerous and varied duties assigned to them. Each as- sistant is in the lab for one hour every day. They must check equipment in and out, take inventory, make solu- tions to be used in classes, and do any other odd jobs that turn up around our busy science labs. By working in the science lab, the lab assistants not only aid the science teachers, but also gam a valuable working knowledge of science for themselves. The science instructors wish to express their gratitude for the help these lab assistants have given them throughout the past year. 19
