Monitors . . . Upstairs and downstairs and in the lady's chamber, Hasty's henchmen, the school monitors, keep watch over daytime traffic. Stationed in seats of the mighty, they gauge your speed and hurry you up if you're too slow—and slow you dov n if you're too hurried. And if you don't have a hall pass, better v atch out! More than one free lance culprit has suffered rebuke and been given a ticket to the judicial committee. And no gnawing and gnashing of teeth, Studes! Your monitors function! Projectors' League—Public Address— Although two separate organizations, the projectors league and the public address system work on many cooperative enterprises. The projectors, 12 in number, operate the sound movie at noon. In this service group, members are chosen for their high scholastic standing and their leadership ability. The P. A. system with seven members supply the system for assemblies, football games, basketball games, and school productions. Monitors Back Row: Sloven, R. S in i i h . Atkinson, Jor.os, Mitchell.

Hyde Library Staff' . These student librarians know how to work and how to play. Many are the giggles heard when staff members are congregated in the back room. But while on desk duty, the librarians maintain a dignity, impressive to behold. Growing with the school, the stafl now has a maximum membership of 14 compared with the half dozen girls who first assisted the librarian. Their passion above and beyond their library work is giving book reviews. Production Staff . . . With the snipping scissors of the costume girls, the busy brushes of scenic artists, and the stage crew in action, deft fingers of the production staff know how to fashion an elaborate stage on the traditional shoestring. Hours upon end are spent by this laboring group. When every school performance takes the stage, the production staff stands behind, a bulwark of strength. This semester they have assisted in the production of Ladies Go Legal, “The Outlaw King. and Christmas Autographs the World. They are now hard at work on the opera, The Fortune Teller.

Junior Actors—Junior high boys may have dramatic talents, concealed or otherwise, but circumstantial evidence shows that all members of the junior actors' club are girls. These promising young maidens, bent on getting experience early, meet each Thursday to study script and learn stage technique. Club days often provide hilarious entertainment in the v ay of talent shows. Character Commission—Building for better character is the earnest desire of members of the junior character commission. The organization, in an effort to establish better standards for Lincoln, sponsors a character conference each year, this semester's theme being The Value of Influence. By striving to be better leaders and better followers, commission members hope to make their club a worthy example for the school. Junior Actors Bock Row: Carl, Mi Price, St. lohn. Gray, Botkin.
