Semaphore CAROLYN DINEEN Editor Under veiled secrecy and Miss Foeller's watchful eye, the Semaphore staff labored tirelessly this year to put out the monthly edition of the paper. Ambitious reporters could been seen hurrying around school in search of a story or interviewing some lucky person. Carolyn dashed to the printers at least three or four times a day, while Hannah and Sandee ran the stall ragged. At the end of the month, however, the paper rolled calmly oil the press, and was soon in the hands of excited Downer girls. The exhausted staff breathed a sigh of relief, and then settled down to work on the next issue. SEMAPHORE STAFF Stamiing-P. King, K. Dineen, K. Kessler, F. O'Neill, D. Anderson, M.

Bedlam reigns eighth period each Tuesday and Thursday as the CREST staff con- gregates in Mrs. Spau1ding's room. Amid the turmoil and slamming of doors, Wendy pleads for order and an hour of hard work begins. Bev vainly cries out for more ads while Susy traps unwilling writers. Huddled in a corner the juniors pretend diligent study. The rest of the staff occupies itself with proofreading, naming pictures, and other CREST work. In spite of the general confusion, the Staff somehow manages to meet its deadlines and in June the result of many months of hard work is the 1955 edition of the CREST. CREST STAFF Left to Right- S.

MARGIE LOWN President Dranlatics It has been an annual affair at Downer to walk into the audi- torium and see the upcoming stars of the Senior Dramatics Club put on a play under the skillful direction of Mrs. Fritz. There is, however, much more complexity in the play presentation than may meet the eye. Into every play go months of weary practicing, a well organized stage crew, carefully created scenery and costuming, and many, many hours of contemplation and planning on the part of Mrs. Fritz. The result of all this hard work is not, however, without its reward as was revealed on May 14th when the Senior Dramatics Club received a prodigous ovation from their presentation of A Boy with az Cart and other short comedies.
