STAGE CREW-As the curtain goes down the audience relaxes and sits back with nothing to do, but backstage there is more activity than one can imagine. During this brief moment the Stage crew is working in close harmony to change sets, curtains, lights, or furniture backstage for the next act or scene. These unseen boys are a very vital part of any stage production. Stage crew is a regular class and can be taken by any boy interested in play production. Under the capable direc- tion of Mr. Wilfred Abbott, the iack of all trades, and in co-operation with the are de- partment, the Sound Crew manages to con- struct the fine sets used in the plays and Spring Review. ALL CONTRIBUTE SOUND CREW-The Sound Crew, working closely together with the Stage Crew, are responsible for a large part of the success of our many rallies, plays and other aud calls. The boys design and build much of their own equipment which is in use backstage. Under the direction of Mr. Robert Gilliland, electricity teacher, the boys manage to keep the complete sound system in the auditorium in good working order. Sound Crew is no special class and any boy interested in radio, sound equipment or electronics may enter. The Sound Crew has also received and in- stalled the new arc proiector in the auditor- ium which everyone enioys. Paper drive money made the proiector possible. A FILM PROJECTIONISTS-Science . . . English . . . Social Studies . . . Homemaking . . .Show- ing films to these privileged classes is the maior iob of the film proiection classes. With Mr. Norman Noonan filling the position of adviser of the film proiection crew, the boys learn such interesting and useful things as cleaning, repairing, and oiling the proiectors. Some of the films aren't the newest to be had, and so knowing how to splice them when they break, comes in handy. Now you may wonder just how and when the films are dis- tributed to the teachers and classrooms. This happens once a week. The films are delivered to Washington and then checked in. Notices are sent to all teachers and those wanting films for their classes notify Mr. Noonan. There are usually many more requests than these boys are able to fill. Their work doesn't go without being appreciated.
