MILLER STAFF The Miller Staff resilvered the mir- ror of M.H.S. in '47. Variety was the watch-word with original features and news items reflecting the old and the new in the school. Shirl Daniels' Cat's Meow, Rit Kellogg's short short The Christmas Pup, the witty Chaff, and inside stories on all the big events make the Miller a traditional part of M.H.S. Much of the paper's success this year is a result of Aurorita Kel- logg's clever editorship and Claire Apgar's shrewd maneuverings in fi- nancing and advertising. Mrs. Blanche MacCrea and Miss Virginia Chilver advised the staff. , 2 RED CROSS Every little bit helps and so Millburn does its part in contributing to the nation-wide Red Cross pro- gram Miss Buerman's girls worked mainly on a clever contrivance for helping wounded veterans to enjoy solitaire in bed. This group also sponsored a very successful Red Cross drive this fall. The Pedecine girls are the officers with Claire as president and Concetta as secretary-treasurer. f-T . .qi ..,'f. .13 -1.1 .N PHYSICS CLUB Not content with their classroom dose of specific gravity and positive and negative charges, a group of am- bitious junior boys organized the Physics Club at the beginning of this year.

N75 X STAGE TECHNICIANS The Stage Techs , under the guidance of Mr. Ridgeway and Mr. Sadowski, are responsible for all the backstage work involved in the per- formances and programs given at M, H. S. For their clever and effi- cient manipulation of sets, sound effects, and lighting, they deserve much of the credit for the many suc- cessful and smooth-running assem- blies and entertainments produced. The Wrecknicians have two periods a day and all activity periods in which to work, but can be found puttering backstage almost any time.
