THIRD ROW-Thomas White, Charles Day, Harry Ledford, Neal Brown, Ronald Weaver Whenever there is a play, assembly, banquet, or party, the stage crew is always on hand. Their work is to arrange scenery, plan lighting, make sound effects, pull curtains, and do all the little things necessary for a smooth production. There are sixteen members ofthe stage crew. Each grade is represented with four members. The stage crew members must be carpenters, artists, electricians, critics, and iust plain stage hands. The two biggest iobs the stage crew had this year were the Senior and Junior class plays. The members of the stage crew spend many hours before the plays in making flats, backings, tloodlights, stairs, etc. You can be sure when you see a play that much thought and labor by the stage crew has gone into it. The head of the stage crew is the stage manager. He organizes the stage crew, arranges for making scenery and properties, sees that the actors are called for their cues, holds and marks the prompt book, and in every way relieves the director of executive detail. Mrs. Chance, director, is responsible for training and advising the crew. The stage manager for this year is Jerry Wise. 52

PLACE: The living room of the Foster home in a town in the middle west.- , TIME: The present. Spring. Judy Foster, a typical teen-ager, while trying to raise money for the Community Relief Fund in order to be crowned queen of the dance, which the community is sponsoring, is involved in many embarrassing predicaments. Her schemes to raise money involve her friends and particularly her family. Judy finally accomplished her goal at the last moment after she has upset the quiet of her home and has almost lost some of her best friends. The plot was very good and the players performed ably under the competent direction of Mrs. Chance. The crowd was the largest ever to attend a class play at Blanchester High School and the money obtained from the ticket sales gave us courage to underwrite this Annual.
