'V V 's-mama? A A Mr. Gates The musical score for the Acorn production is arranged by our director, Philip Gates. His friendly, encouraging smile is a go sign for any young star who wishes to shine in orchestra, band, or chorus, Here, perhaps, Mr. Gates is planning some new form of musical entertainment to brighten a morning assembly or cheer the Oak- wood team on to victory. In case of any casualties on the lot Dr. H. W. Lautenschlaqer and Mrs. E. A. Bongartz are always on hand. They swab sore throats, band- age sprained ankles, dab iodine on scratched knees, or sometimes hand out aid for emergen- cies. The doctor and the nurse check on the Dr. Lautenschluqer Mrs. Bongartz Oakwood stars' weight and height and see that they're feeling in the pink in order to continue their work in the studio. There are scripts to be typed, bookkeeping records to be kept and telephone messages to be taken in order to keep the mechanism of the Oakwood production in apple-pie order. Credited with doing these jobs to perfection are Miss Nadine Stewart, who keeps things rolling in the main office: Miss Helen Rees, who is the secre- tary to the board of education: and Miss Kathryn Kyne, who keeps tab on the activities of the younger stars.
