PERMANENT STAGECREW The permanent stagecrew, under the direction of Mrs. Meyer, is responsible lor all the backstage work that goes into our assembly programs. Ora ganizations sponsoring assemblies call upon the permanent stagecrew members to do a variety of jobs. These include putting up makeshift sets, laying and taking up the floor covering, pulling the curtain, and working on lights. ln addition to these regular jobs, some of the crew members have done extra work. Noel Black took charge of loan- ing the stage lights to clubs lor dances: Dave Beiriger, Bill Cedris, jolm Layman, and Chuck Hancock assisted with the University of Michigan productions for the grade school children. Their earnings for backstage work were contributed to the fund for stage equipment. Several of the mem- bers also cleaned the shelves and fixed the locks of the cupboards backstage. SPANISH CLUB iHabla Vd. Espanol? lf you speak Spanish, you are eligible to be a member of the Spanish Club. Some ol' the conversations in the meeting are held in this tongue.
