THE STAGE CREW The Stage Crew is an organization of thirteen boys selected by their sponsor, Mr. Dinwiddie. This is a very important organization as they are responsible for all the stage work when plays, assemblies, and other entertainments are in session. The crew is a very selected group of boys, as they must be quiet, reliable, and obedient. Without their help many of our plays would not be as successful as they are. The boys of this crew are divided into five groups: lights, property room. curtains, doormen, and scene shifters. They are appointed to their positions by their sponsor. The sponsor appoints the boy he thinks can do the job, and it is up to the individual to see that the work is done well. The members of the club are: Charles Hill, Clinton Herron, Ray- mond Stolmack, Glen Sands, Floyd Mickens, Raymond Radcliffe. Charlie Dever. Iames Dodson, Frank Iohnson. Wayne Brunnick, Wal- ter Wiklem, Van Barbarie, and Castro Duran. QE

THE PILOTS The pilot organization was begun during the first semester after the school was opened. The students, at the beginning of the semester, formed a sort of government to regulate the traffic in the halls, keep order in the auditorium and cafeteria, and to check lunch permits for those going home for lunch at noon. Mr. Porter and Miss Whittlesey called a meeting in the auditorium. Every homeroom, with the excep- tion of the B7's, was to elect two boys and two girls as representa- tives. At this meeting the students chose the name pilots for this or- ganization as being appropriate for our school, which emphasizes the sea idea. The pilot badgeswhich are issued to the different officers after election, have a picture of a sailing vessel on them. Court martial is the only form of punishment used by the pilots. Court martial is held when a suflicient number of students have re- ceived four or more pilot cards. Miss Whittlesey summons the offend, ers to Mr. Porter's office where the court martial is held. The oifendf ers are brought into court by the sergeant-at-arms, who directs him, or her to Mr. Porter's desk. The real-admiral swears in the offender and the secretary reads the offenses to the court. If he, or she declares not guilty the case is dismissed until the witnesses who signed the card are procured. If the accused pleads guilty, the culprit is examined by the court. The court decides upon the punishment, which usually is a number of courses in citizenship. The minmimum number of courses in citizenship is one, The number of courses is determined by the seriousness of the offense. The court or jury is made up of the admiral, vice-admiral, real-admiral, secretary, and the pilot captains, who total THE COMMANDERS This organization has as many members as there are homerooms, for the commander of each homeroom automatically becomes a mem- ber. The commander is the same as a president. He acts as chairman at all elections in the homerooms, and often takes full charge at every meeting. ln case the teacher is out of the room, the commander of the group takes charge of the class. lt is his duty to keep order in assembly at all times. If the commander does not keep his homeroom in order, he is not likely to get the office the next semester. The commanders are usually very good.
