Robert Treadwell ExchangeEditar ONE-ACT PLAYS The evening of April 5, 1951 marked the annual presentation of three one-act plays in the gymnasium. “His First Shave” was given by the freshman class. Members of the cast were Linwood Lufkin, Patricia Mc- Ginley, Allen White, Joyce Stewart, and Ruth Campbell. “For Whom the Telephone Rings” is the comedy presented by the sophomore class. The cast included Charlotte Keirstead, Shir- ley Nelson, Marilyn Light, Harold Elling- wood, Vanessa Lord, and George McKay. The league and district championship play, “The Kid Makes Up His Mind”, was pre- sented in a repeat performance. The cast was: David Keirstead, Melvyn Kitchen, Patricia Leathers, Gayle Lovley, Sheila Web- ber, and Mary Bragg. Each of the three plays was under the di- rection of Mr. Dwyer. Jean Simpson, Terrance Reynolds, Patricia Leathers, Marilyn Light, Marvin Willey, and Gilbert Young served as property and stage managers and prompters for the plays. THE PROJECTOR CLUB The new projector club has brought about an opportunity for more students to learn better projector operation. The students are very much interested in this club. Its mem- bership is now eighteen. At the end of the school year there will be a small number of club members picked to take responsibility of the machine—preferably one from each class. At the first club meeting the leader stressed that the members showing little caution and care in handling the expensive equipment would have to be eliminated from the club. A threading diagram was drawn on the board and explained. Questions were answered. During the next class actual prac- tice in threading was given. The club will continue with other instruction classes, tests, and actual experience. The class has held activity period once or twice a week. During the past school year there has been a shortage of operators. Many students were interested in learning projector opera- tion, but they did not have the opportunity to acquire properly the art. If a student from each class is capable of properly setting up the machine, the instruc- tors are saved the time and trouble of learn- ing to operate the projector, a process which would interfere with their own educational program. They need all the time possible to devote to it. Also, the teachers could be using the time in class, while one of the operators set up the machine.
