New Club Makes Debut Making its debut this year, the Foot- lights Club under the guidance of Miss Lois Conrad, dramatics instructor, has well established itself as one of Creston's leading groups. The purpose of this appropriately named club is to study dramatics in detail by means of observation. Their major activities included monthly dinner meetings at the homes of its members and a formal dinner party held at the Peninsular club preceding the junior-Senior Prom. Political advisers of this organization were Betty Guenther, presidentg Shirley Saunders, vice-presidentg and secretary- treasurer, Sveri Klar. Among the plays seen by the fair dam- sels this year were The Trojan W'mue11. The Ijwnrfiozz put on at Fountain Street Baptist Church, and Om' Tozwz a major yearly production given by the Civic Players at the St. Cecilia Auditorium. Pecuniary activities included sales of mystery bags, ice cream sandwiches and hot dogs. Below left: Lorraine Rosendall applies make-up on Betty Langeler, while Sveri Klar fixes herself up.

Squad Maintains Order A democratic government with demo- cratic supervision was the pride of all Norsemen. So the courtesy squad under the direc- tion of Miss Mary Windt was organized for the purpose of keeping order in Creston's halls. As a form of student government it has promoted a demo- cratic feeling among the pupils. This organization, the largest organ- ized body in Creston, was headed by Walter Wood, president, Helen Kort- lander, chairman, and Jeanne Ladewig, treasurer.

Sacred, Comic Plays Given For the fourth consecutive year Gloria, Creston's annual pageant in a spirit of deep religious atmosphere under the direction of Miss Lois Conrad, was presented hy the North- men of Creston, Decemher 20 and Zl. After telling the sacred story the pageant closed with the a cappella choir singing Silent Night! Holy Night! Also on November 17 the dramaties classes presented The Teeth of the Gift Horse and The Pampered Darling amidst much laughter. Teeth of the Gift Horse was about a search for some vases hy a young married Couple in order to have them sitting around when their donator, an old aunt, visits them. Telling the story of the efforts of a spoiled hoy to thwart his sister's attempts to go to a house party, The Pampered Darling was also a success. i F' 53339, Upper left: Watching an operation are Leonard Vander Linde, Ann Miller, Dora Vincent, Ruth Weber, Frances Pearson, Don Grotemat, Charles Berry, Robert Straayer.
