STAGE CREW Mr. Hoskins, J. Post, D. Conway, B. Henrikson, B. Collins tudents assist backstage and in the office. Behind the scenes of every school assembly, con- cert, and stage activity, one finds the hard-working stage crew. Under the direction of Bill Henrikson and Mr. Hoskins, the stage crew has operated the stage lights, worked the curtains, set up the micro- phone and recording system, and made the necessary adiustments in all stage properties. During the year, the boys assisted backstage in both the Junior and Senior plays and at Night of Rhythm . Without the stage crew's dedicated time and service, our assem- bly programs would not have been possible. The hall monitor system has been arranged so that one student is found in the first fioor hall every hour of the school day. Among the iobs that the hall mon- itors perform are directing visitors, maintaining order in the halls, running errands, and collecting the li- brary and absence slips. Several students, other than the hall monitors, have helped the office staff by typing, recording ab- sences, and answering the telephone. The hall mon- itors and office helpers are always ready, willing, and able to serve our school. HALL MONITORS Row one: M. Heaton, L. Witthohn Row two: B. Brown, D. Albers, L. Dewey, K. Keller, A.

McDonald in editin the yearbook and the newspaper. This year's Flintlock Staff was faced with two maior problems: producing a newspaper which would retain student interest, and keeping the budget balanced without financial aid from the Student Council. With the help of a new printer and a new advisor, Miss Jaqua, these problems were alleviated, and a news- paper of fine quality was published. Energetic Pat Carrow rallied her stat? in an early September subscription campaign, and several sales A Saturday morning date with the newspaper. plus a new advertising program greatly helped to pay the costs of printing. The Flintlock came out once a month, with special issues for Christmas and Graduation. Make-up Saturdays were always full of bustling activity in room 200. Betsy Freeman and Kathy Bennett cut copy and made layouts, while the typists plunked out the news on their typewriters. After last minute proof-reading, the Flintlock was ready to be circulated by Halle Baer. Those last minute checks before circulation!

DEBATE TEAM Row one: S. Maclntyre, P. Barnes Row two: B. Murray, C. Tappen, J. Thompson Pioneers polish their forensic skills. Resolved: That direct United States economic aid to individual foreign countries should be limited to technical assistance and disaster relief. This contro- versial issue was well-handled by our debate team: Jim Thompson and Bob Murray, affirmative, Chips Tappen and Stuart Maclntyre, negative, and Penny Barnes, substitute. Under the leadership of Mr. Walter F. Terris from Calvin College, the team, participating in the Grand Valley Debate League, had five wins. Marshall, lonia, and Central, schools not in our league, provided the debators with additional competition. Our team gave Central, the city champions, their closest match. The annual forensic contest led by Mrs. Meyer at- tracted many students. The program consisted of interpretative, humorous, and declamatory readings, as well as original oratory and extemporaneous speeches. After an elimination contest for students who did not participate in forensics last year, a second contest was held. The winners from the first contest were then competing with those who had participated in previous years. The district contest and finally the regional contest decided the lucky and talented winners.
