Stage crew involves risks; hard work
THREE-YEAR-OLD MARK JAMES giggles for the camera
while sitting on his pint-sized tractor during the Family Living
class Nursery session.
Family living classes conduct, learn
in five-week nursery school session
standing of' this age group of
children will be studied during
the project.
The family living classes are
divided into four groups: those
who teach, those who observe,
the ones that plan the program,
and a group that reports on how
children in this age group act.
Each student will have a chance
to participate in each of the
group activities.
Dale Skinner said, “It’s very
good because we get a chance to
see how children, besides our
own brothers and sisters, get
along with others in the group?’
To pass the time in their
“class,” the children paint,
dance, build with blocks, listen
to records, have a snack, and
play with toys, some of which
were made by Mrs. Willardson’s
classes.
Take one dozen three and
four-year-old children, tinker
toys, building blocks, and dolls,
mix well, and they add up to the
five-week nursery school that is
being conducted by Mrs. Mary
Karter’s and Mrs. Kay Willard-
son’s family living classes.
On Monday, Wednesday, and
Friday mornings, the toddlers
arrive in care of their mothers
or sisters. “Most of them are
pretty good,” said Mrs. Karter,
“although there are a few who
don’t want to leave their moth
ers.”

Imping to

How would you like to walk
above the ceiling in the audi
torium? Sounds kinds of scary,
doesn’t it? If there is any ques
tion just ask one of the members
of the stage crew, and you will
find that these boys are very ac
customed to doing this whenever
a light has burned out.
Our stage crew consists
of ten boys, two seniors,
three juniors, and five soph
omores under the instruc
tion of Lloyd Carothers.
The stagecraft class is held
during first and second pe
riod with the study hall be
ing given up second period.
The stage crew is not only re
sponsible for opening and clos-
ing the curtains, as many of us
think, instead they are faced
with some of the most tedious
and time-consuming jobs.
“The boys picked for the
crew are chosen by their de
gree of responsibility,” com
mented Mr. Carothers, Eng
lish and stagecraft instruc
tor.
The Rose Festival presentation
of our Princess would not even
be considered possible without
the crew to back it up. In plan
ning for the presentation, they
first must contact Mrs. Ander
son to find the colors and how
she plans to present it, and the
rest is left up to the boys.
At present they are plan
ning a stage with effects for
the Dads’ Club show and
Crowds of juniors attend job fair
constituting largest turn out ever
“Approximately 119 juniors
attended the Oregon Job Fair
April 16-18, constituting the
largest crowd of any previous
year,” according to Wayne Rob
inson, vocational counselor. Ac
cording to Mr. Robinson, stu
dents attending the Job Fair
Girls' league week
carried out well
by sales, styles
“Under the Girls’ League Big
Top” was the theme of the
Spring Girls’ League week. The
idea was carried out all through
the week by what the girls wore
and the after school sales,
Highlighting the assembly was
the presentation of the honor
girls who are: freshmen, Jana
Golden and Wendy Blair; sopho
mores Rocky Menashe and Chris
Hawes; juniors, Karolyn Carroll
and Tija Lietuvietis; and seniors,
Nancy Rouse and Karen Stope.
A gymnastics show was also
presented in the assembly. Mrs.
Stepik from Johnnie Johnson’s
gave a talk about figure control
and dieting. Fashions were pre
sented by Miss Frazier from
Nordstrom Best’s Apparel.
Total profit from the after
school sales came to $92.79. This
will go to pay for the loss there
is on the dinner, and the Mc
Graw scholarship award which
goes to the outstanding senior
girl.
In addition to the Girls’ league
fortune was the state convention
in which Nancy Swett was elect
ed historian. The convention was
held at Sunset high school, last
weekend.
would benefit over students that
did not attend.
Visitors received basic infor
mation on the kinds of jobs of
fered and training needed for
these jobs. They were told of
jobs where no training was re
quired and jobs that offer train
ing. The Oregon State Employ
ment agency stressed methods to
be used in finding employment.
“The Job Fair gave students
the opportunity to see what jobs
are available, especially in Port
land, arid what training is need
ed,” stated Jana Powell.
“It was interesting, but I wish
they had put more stress on
summer job opportunities rather
than careers,” commented Mari
lyn Hall.
Specific firms, associations and
businesses were represented by
the fifty exhibits.
nefct in line is the setting of
the Keller residence for
“The Miracle Worker.”
Not only do they arrange the
setting but also build scenery,
time the lighting, run the stage
itself and handle extremely high
voltage; they also take risks
above stage, on the fly gallery.
The stage crew’s first work be
gins with the freshman orienta
tion, and ends with the James
Monroe graduation which is held
in our auditorium. They are in
charge of all activities, from civ
ic groups to musical variety
shows.
Much of the crew’s time is
spent on making flats which are
expected to last a period of about
twenty years.
If any of us were to have
stepped into Grant seven years
ago we would have found a stage
with few lights and resembling
nothing to what it is today. With
in that period of time many new
lights have been purchased, a
grand curtain, a grand piano cov
er among many other essentials
to the stage itself.
“We are very proud of the
birch front of the stage,” com
mented Mr. Carothers, “and we
are also very careful to see that
no one ever sits on the stage so
that his feet would scratch it.”
“Before joining the stage crew
I thought it was something like
a janitor staff,” commented Dan
Rhodes, senior. “After two years
you find a lot of tremendous re
sponsibility; it’s like working in
a regular theatre.”
“The main objective of the
stagecraft classes is to train the
boys for possible future work in
a professional theatre,” com
mented Mr. Carothers. “I am
proud of the boys who handle the
gigantic job of staging all the
shows.”
