To C.H.S. Students The future of the Senior Honor Society rests on the shoulders of its officers. Planning the next meeting is David Hochstetler, trea- surer, Howard Godfrey, reporter, Jim Hodge, president, Eileen Hollenbaugh, secretary, and Mary Feeney, vice-president. Calumet’s Honor Societies provide a real in- centive for each and every student. These clubs not only give the students the will to make good grades, but also are in themselves providing a val- uable service to C.H.S. The Junior Honor Society sells candy each day to students during the lunch hours. They also sell Christmas candy with which members provide a scholarship for a worthy student to help further his education. For one of their projects, the Senior Honor Society, also, sold candy to raise money for their treasury. In year’s passed, they, too, have given a scholarship to a deserving senior. Donna Sowles, who as of February 7 had sold $58 worth of candy, is shown making another sale to Pat Schwartz. - 23 -

Thespians Present “ The Heiress” And “Blithe What goes on behind the stage? It would take too long to tell! There are so many problems that sometimes the sponsor resorts to a stop, a stare, and a scratch on the head, as the cast contests with a blank appearance. Such was seen while the play “Blithe Spirit” was rehearsed. A silence falls on the audience, the curtain rises, the moment has arrived, and all eyes are on the actors. From there on a certain feeling between the players and the audience is present. It isn’t easy to achieve this feeling. It takes time and practice-- there are rehearsals, and the job of getting to know and understand your character. The Calumet Players present two plays a year. They selected “Blithe Spirit,” by Noel Coward, and “The Heiress,” by Ruth and Augustus Goetz. The plays are directed by Mr. Roy Chapman and an assistant directo r, chosen by him from the club. Anyone in the club is eligible to try-out for a play. Then the remaining members are assigned to one of the various crews: make-up; properties, light and sound, house, stage, publicity, costume, usher- ettes, and paint, all of which are vital to the produc- tion of a play. The annual Drama Festival, which is held in the spring, is also a production of the Calumet Play- ers, who started it three years ago. “I enjoy this work!” may well be the comment of Gloria Webster, member of the make-up crew in “Blithe Spirit”, as she applies make-up on Sherra Wilt. - 24 - Lights are very effective in any play. To make sure that all is in tip-top shape, George Carl adjusts the lights as Roger Toczek steadies the ladder.
