Thespians produce movie showing aspects of school Members of Drama Club expanded their artistic efforts this year to include the making of a film. The movie was a documentary of school life at Horace Mann. Members used the camera to take scenes of the school as seen by students, building inspectors, and as uninvolved observer. The camera zoomed in on dress fads, pollution and took close-ups of students in action. Editing was com¬ pleted after school ended and members enjoyed the first screening at a sum¬ mer-time party. Chester Elliott draws a stage sign order to make directions clearer. Robert Curtiss holds the wire to the flash attachment as Chester Elliott begins the first day of shooting.
