STAGE AND SOUND CREW First row: B. Harper, Marlowe, Dale. Second row: Bumgarner, Sheldon, Greenup, B. Campbell. Third row: Mr. Baugh, Halliday, D. Johnson, Drake. A group that works faithfully with little recognition by the students is the stage and sound crew. This organiza- tion, under the direction of Mr. Baugh, keeps everything in order and running smoothly. Without this efficient organ- ization, our assemblies, operettas, plays, and other productions would be much less successful. - Q Some of their main jobs are running the films for various classes, setting up scenery for plays and operettas, pulling curtains and attending to all back-stage work which makes these productions possible. Also, they compose the crew which runs the public address system at football and basketball g a m e s, for speakers and for pep dances. Although this group is not given much recognition, without it our school would not be able to function as it does. Our stage and sound crew deserves all the credit we can give it.

The most important activity of the club during the year was their presenta- tion of the play, Granddad Steps Out , in May. The Drama Club also sponsored a dance for the Student Body.

The Service Squad, an all-girl organ- ization, completed a successful year with the help, advice, and leadership of Mrs. Vaux, Miss Casey, and the student pres- ident, Phyllis Simcoe. The purpose of the squad is to render service to teachers. By earning so many points a year members receive a merit pin or badge, according to their years of service. The main social event of the year for the Service Squad was a progressive din- ner and movie, held in March. Also, a Bingo party was held at the Rec Hall for the Student Body which was a great suc- cess. 44 22 77

ORDER OF GREGG ARTISTS OFFICERS President - - ---- - Janice Oliphant Vice-President - - - - - Betty Bogan Secretary - - Anne Peterson Treasurer - - Marjorie Udd Advisor - Mrs. Pringle The Order of Gregg Artists is an inter- national honorary shorthand society with branches in iifteen different countries of the world. The branch in the Port Town- send High School has been in existence for nearly 25 years. The purpose of the club is proficiency in shorthand, although much of the time is spent in typing. In 1944 the first-year students who passed the shorthand pen- manship test were Anne Peterson, gold pin winner, Janice Oliphant, Betty Bo- gan, and Marjorie Udd. This made a very small club, so all those students who had one year of shorthand were permit- ted to attend the meetings as associate members. The annual test was again submitted to New York this year and Jeanne Rob- bins, Frances Maroldo, Thelma Koep- ping, and Jean Kirby gained admission. Anne Peterson again received the gold pin and Jean Kirby a diploma for supe- rior penmanship. Transcription tests were given to the class and this enabled Janice Oliphant, Anne Peterson, Frances Maroldo, Jeanne Robbins, and Marjorie Udd to get offi- cial transcription awards. As well as work, the members have a good deal of fun. A Christmas party was held at the home of Janice Oliphant and this was the biggest social event of the year. The Seniors planned a carni- val for the other members of the club and picnics were for everyone's enjoy- ment. At the last meeting the initation of the new members was held. LIBRARY CLUB OFFICERS President - ---- - Fran Marolclo Secretary - - - - - Jean Opstad Advisor - The Library Club consists of those stu- dents who are willing to give up 'their study halls to act as librarians. During this period they were responsible for the libraryg that is, to check out books, and keep the library in order. This was the club's main activity. If a student spent three or more hours a week in the library, he received an ac- tivity credit. If only one or two hours a week were put in, the students usually used the hours for Service Squad points. The job of the secretary was to record the hours that the students spent in the - - Mrs. Lyon library each week. The art department kept displays on the novelty shelf throughout the year. Some of the most interesting were the Nomad and Nativity scenes. Also, the club decorated the windows of the li- brary for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Book covers were displayed on the study hall bulletin board each week to adver- tise new books as well as those books on particular subjects. The Library Club had no outside ac- tivities this year. Mrs. Mary Lyon had general supervision of the library. K 24 D
