THOSE BEHIND THE SCENES D edicated and industrious are the only two words that can describe the stage crew. They stay after school each day to make posters, construct sets, and assist in other jobs involved in the tech production ot The Man Who Came To Dinner, B y Kaufman N. Hart The members ol the stage crew work not for applause and praise, but for self-gratification and the gaining of new skills in lighting, construction and technical staging. All, of these new found skills were taught to the 18 students of the stage crew, by Mr. Sol Rymer, the Advisor. This group of students were non-existent before the ' Bye. Bye Birdie production last year. Since then, the stage crew has been involved in NYPD promotions, the Mayor Koch visit, Tech Pride Day Assembly, and The Hutchinson-Tech Band perfor- ma They are an integral part of the building processes at Tech. They, more than most, really give people a platform to stand on!

H orizons,lech ' s Literary magazine, is not only a source of prose, poet¬ ry, and drama, but also a source of talented prize-winning writers. For exam¬ ple, last year’s number one poet in New York City was editor David Cameron and there have been others before him who have also won prizes. The staff meets twice a month after school to discuss any of the works submitted by students. There are no restrictions on the types of works submit¬ ted, but publication depends on the careful scrutiny of the editors. Any tech student can buy a copy of Horizons in his English class for two dollars. Because of the amount of time needed to review the work and choose the final copy, only two issues (Fall and Spring) are pub¬ lished a year. Besides producing Horizons, the staff also holds poetry readings for Technites and members of the faculty. The Horizons office is located on “Publisher ' s Row , in 5W3, and any student who wishes to submit work can see the advisor, Ms. Edith Heinlein, or the editors, Periods 4-7. By: A Ur Ms. Heinlein.
