THQ NH RMU THE BOYS' GLEE CLUB During the year nineteen hundred thirty and nineteen hundred thirty-one the Boys' Glee Club gave performances for our school and other schools under the able direction of Miss Esther Miller. These in- cluded the Christmas Pageant, The Musicale, and the Nay Day exercises at Roeding Park, May third. The boys' Quartet is composed of Clinton Seals, Walton Mariner, Jack Walton, and George Tockstein. There is also a double quartet composed of Clinton Seals, Lee Clark, Walton Mariner, James Morrow, Jack Walton, Hobart Zody, Horace Ballow, and Macie Dudley. These two groups have also contributed to many programs. - 'Y STAGECRAFT Stage Craft: once a clan, now a club. Perhaps there is more work than anything else in school, but some fun is thrown in for good measure when you have such a leader as Miss Doris Powelson for spon- sor. The pride in achieving something that large audiences will enjoy makes it well worth our while. As a real class we started with twelve members in February, nineteen hundred twenty-nine. Bill Hoadley, Walton Mariner, Vivian Law, Edna Monck, Francis Conpejly, Richard Millburn, and Letha Brown were the pioneers working on our first production WMiss Cherry Blossomsu and are still on the job. Many of our graduates and graduating seniors have helped to put-over our plays and pageants. We have this year grown to the large class of twenty-one, Wjust enoughn, we'Il say. We now proudly boast club standing and a real President. No one around here knows just where to find any one in stage craft anytime, anyhow, or anywhere.lf you look for them on the stage, they are probably in the attic, or on the front lawn paintinga backdrop or goodness knows where! You never can tell! Did you ever watch Connelly up on the cat-walk resting himself between scenes, or Bill, or Harold in their Wdolled-upn smocks for the night performances, or Anna Cade bossing the stage crew, or Walton working like mad when he has to do so, but loving DSSE to boss the rest. These are just some of the side lights on what you'd see if you should peek behind the scenes in Stage Craft. PARENT TEACHERS ASSOCIATION Theodore Roosevelt High School Parent-leacners Association was organized October twenty-six, nine- teen hundred twenty-eight. It has grown from a membership of seventy to one hundred fifty three, win- ning the Fresno City Council l93l Membership Cup for percentage increase over the previous year.

Other outstanding features are the sponsoring of two Scout Troops, work in the Student Aid Department, and membership in the Crippled Children's Society.
