'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.

MTS- KC-lmPm9Y9l' Mr. Dougherty Mrs. Preston Kampmeyer certainly merits an Oscar for her superb per- formance as homeroom adviser for the S-6 lovelies. This loyal director has given endlessly of her time in order that the girls could achieve higher awards. In the years to come, they'll long remember their boss and friend and those intimate homeroom discus- sions about anything and everything. There's a distinguished gentleman in room S-8 who would undoubtedly be a star in Hollywood today if it had not been for losing his long curly hair by worrying about his flock, the S-8 Rat Trappers. This competent leader has sacrificed himself many times for the betterment of his attentive under- studies. He is, of course, S-8's guiding light, Iohn Dougherty. STARS OF 1945 Carlos Crum, director of the S-20 studio, has been with his boys many years, hopefully trying to develop great stars. On the set he demands hard work, personally superintending con- struction of all scenes to be sure the takes are accurate. Whatever the fu- ture may be for the S-20 boys, they'll always remember Mr. Crum's subtle humor and friendliness. Through six years of directing her potential actresses in S-10, Mrs. Helen Russell has amazed the homeroom with her never failing patience and good- humor. The girls were even provided with their own special dressing room by their cheerful director. But what will be remembered the longest are Mrs. Russell's interesting confidential talks.
