Members of the Projection Crew show films in the classrooms. PROJECTIGN CREW The Projection Crew is one of the most important service organizations in the school. This group has the duty of showing films for classes, for noon hour activities, and for club meetings. The crew also shows films for outside organizations such as the Kiwanis, the Lions, and the Rotary Clubs, During 1960, the members of the Projection Crew took a field trip to New York City. Adviser for the club was Mr. Bitter, officers were Ken Donovan, president, Craig Horner, vice-president, and Larry Cuthbertson, secretary. The Stage Crew handles sets, lighting, and sound for assemblies and plays. STAGE CREW Because of the elaborate lighting in Our Town and the complicated set in The Diary of Anne Frank, neither of these plays would have been the successes they were without the aid ot the Stage Crew. This organization operates the light and sound equipment, prepares the sets for all the major high school productions, and works unofficially to keep the actors from panicking on performance nights. This year both the Stage Crew and the Thespian Society were under the sponsorship of Mr. Vincent. Thus their work was more closely coordinated. Officers were :Ian Smith and Ceorge Meyn, coprcsidcnt.
