Stagecraft The class in Stagecraft comprises a group of students who adapt their skill in arts and crafts to extrafcurricular problems. The course is one which cofordinates a variety of talents for the accomplishment of definite projects. Though the group originally staged only major dramatic productions, it now handles all assembly and lyceum programs as well. Services such as posterfmaking and party decoration are frequently performed for other school groups. Stage properties are freely lent to any high school club or class, and to any elementary or junior high school in the Wauwatosa system. The major projects of the year were the sets for the Senior Class play, Daddy Long Legs and Three Cornered Moon, the Masque Club play. The former had four sets: the dining hall of an orphanage, a young college girl's room, a country houseg and a bachelor's modernistic study. The three acts of Three Cornered Moon took place on a single set-so the problem of scenery shifting was eliminated. As an added achievement this year the Stagecraft class contributed many of the designs and pictures which were sent to New Crleans to the National Speech Convention. This organization benefits the school by eliminating the confusion which formerly existed in stage authority. It benefits the students by having them share the responsibility connected with making the school a functioning social unit. The possibilities of creative enterprise for lifeflong use are revealed to them, and, lastf ly, it teaches them to appreciate the amount of time, thought, and effort required by any successful project.

H i - Y The I-lifY Club has been in existence for more than twelve years. Mr. Matzke has been the club advisor through the last eight years of its existence and has work' ed faithfully and conscientiously on all the club projects. The club is really a high school branch of the Y. M. C. A. in Milwaukee. Officers of all of the city's clubs meet at the Y to discuss their problems. The HifY's purpose is To create, main' tain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. Its slogan is 'LClean Living, Clean Speech, Clean Sports, and Clean Scholarship. Both the purpose and the slogan are given by the entire club before each meeting, and before a student is admitted to the club, he must promise to strive to live up to these ideals. Although the club's membership of sixtyfeight during the Hrst semester diminf ished when the activity period was discontinued and the club was forced to meet at night, new members joined regularly, and the number of active members soon exf ceeded that of the previous semester. The club takes an active part in the school activities, putting on the annual Valentine Dance and sponsoring the Minstrel Show given by the West Allis HifY and presented in Tosals auditorium. Cutstanding was the club's presentation of Dickens' Christmas Carol at Christmas time. Aside from assembly appearances, additional performances were opened to the public, the proceeds going to charity. This and the banquet in the fall of the year were the two events enjoyed by the Anna Copeland and HifY Clubs together. The boys' picnic at Camp Minikani in the spring finished off the year with a good time. R nu. Q A , HlfY Back Row Ferguson. Bell. VC. Mayer, Ferris, Koenitzer. Schaefer, Ziege, Cotanch. XV. Dryburgh.

Lindsley, Assistant Patrolman: . Student Patrol I think the student patrol is efficient and effective. The patrolmen go about their work in a dignified mannerg they are tactful and pleasant in their approach, and I consider the results satisfactory. When I come to school in the morning, the first ones I notice are those on pa' trol. I am reminded not only of the fact that good conduct is expected of me as a student but also of my duty as a citizen, for it is people of my own age and rank who are expecting me to be cofoperative in the work of the school. The above remarks-the first by a teacher of extended and varied experience, and the other by a representative student of the more thoughtful and conscientious type, but not a patrolman-are typical of the attitude which is slowly but surely coming to the front in our school. Each succeeding year the work is taken more serif ously, both on the part of the student patrol and the student body. Furthermore, the willingness to accept and exercise authority in other capacities at the teachers' ref quests, even without tangible reward, is becoming more and more evident. Resent ment at being disciplined by a fellow student has reached a new low point. As far as possible good scholarship and school citizenship are required of pa' trolmen. The average grade must be 80, no grades less than 70. No patrol exempf tion is granted in any subject in which the grade is below 80, and none in any subf ject in the event of a failing grade in one subject. Qnly those having two or more semesters' experience could be included in the photograph, but the work of the others is equally appreciated. f STUDENT PATROL i Kuether, Assistant Patrol' man: Mr. Post: Netter, Head Patrolman.
