F., i I Y. 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. STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council plays a lafqe part in the government of Mill- burn High. Each homeroom has a rf-presentofive who reports on the criuricil meeting. It is also his duty to report to the council any question that the homeroom wants discussed. One of the main projects of the council this year was the setting up of a series of standard penalties for student offenses. Our council is a member of the Suburban Student Council, and as such participates in ull ils activities. This year it has been under the capable leadership of Ed Miller, president, and Mr. Barr, fac- ulty adviser. 4 v 'i wat' K 9 . t -n P ' VARSITY CLUB Millburn's Varsity Club, under the direction of Mr. Focht, has grown along with Millburn's athletic ac- complishments, to be one of the largest organizations in the school.

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. With Mr. Es1er's cooperation they planned programs to further their interest and knowledge in physics through supplementary experiments, movies, discussions and the reading of articles by members. The officers are: president, Bruce Holmang vice-presi- dent, Ioel Henkelg and secretary-trea- surer, lack Faulks.

The Iunior Play, Clarence , glittered with such stars as Broadfoot, Bergen, Wittkop, Huntoon, Campenella, Rosen, Cornell, and Stark. Miss Yeomans was their director. The sophomores, slightly less experienced, but no less ambitious, have produced many skits during their meetings. Their officers are President, P, Norwine: Secretary, H. Mathenyg and Treasurer, I. Han- son, with Miss Chilver and Mrs. Snively as advisers. VISUAL INSTRUCTION This group of twelve boys, plus their faculty adviser, Mr. Woltman, contribute much toward making our classes more interesting with supple- mentary instruction in the form of slides, movies, film-strips, and opaque projections. They show the assembly movies and this year initiated the system of showing the assembly hymns on the screen. The new record- ing equipment lends still another method for serving the school and the community. The boys enjoy their work and devote much of their time to it. CHESS CLUB Forty students of Millburn High who understand the complicated game of chess have gotten together with Mr. Powell to organize this club. Check and checkmate are the ezzclamations heard from the three groups of players, divided according to their ability in the game, in 212 during Tuesday activity periods. Their officers are President, Paul Shimang Vice-President, Iulian Simon, Treas- urer, Charles Bibbons and Secretary, Warren Gray. Nu.
