' BUOTH AND STAGE CREWS a The Booth and Stage Crew members are some of the most important behind-the-scenes students at Willis. Any senior high boy may start as an apprentice, and when he has put in sixty hours of work, he is considered a stage crew member. The duty of the stage crew is to keep the stage repaired and ready for any activity or performance. The booth crew is responsible for school movies and the spotlight during spe- cial activities. , This year the stage crew acquired new high fidelity amplifiers and a portable public address system. Don Baird acted as stage manager and Mr. Slasor was the faculty advisor. D. Morris, Mr. Slasor, D.'Segner, J. Liggett B. Benton, D. Baird, I. Eishen 55'
