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.

The Art Club encourages art talent. Students join the Chess Club to improve their game. The Commercial Club acquaints students with some phases of busi- IICSS. ART CLUB One of the newest additions to Pleasantville's extra-curricular program is the Art Club. Mr. Na- zaruk, the faculty adviser, feels that many creative students are unaware of their talent, he hopes that the Art Club will encourage these people who have talent in this field. Many stimulating afternoons have been spent by the club's members. The results of these hours can be seen in various art contests throughout the county. Under the leadership of President Jeanette Micoleau, several guest speakers have been invited to lecture during the year. CHESS CLUB The Pleasantville Chess Club, formed only three years ago to prove that chess is not really dif- ficult, and not a boring or antisocial game, is cer- tainly fulfilling its purpose. Members, through diligent study and much practice, have improved their skill. The faculty adviser is Mrs. Lomont. This year, plans were made for inter-school chess meets. Officers were President Dennis Lambert, Vice-President Cwen Rivers, Secretary David Wash- burn, and Treasurer Kent Lanini. COMMERCIAL CLUB The Commercial Club is made up of students particularly interested in the varying activities of business. Miss Nulty is the faculty adviser. The Commercial Club's purposes are to acquaint stu- dents with the various phases of business, to observe business by taking field trips, and to act as a service club for teachers. During the fall a field trip was taken to Ceneral Foods in White Plains, where members of this club viewed the research kitchens and laboratories. This yearys officers were President Linda Torlishg Vice-president Sally Furchtg Secre- tary Francis Armisto, and Treasurer Sue McElroy.
