Senior Class Play, V‑Show Keep Stagecrafters Busy
Senior Class Play, V‑Show Keep Stagecrafters Busy
'Tighten that line and pound in those nails." The sound of these words would indicate that you were behind the stage these days as the Stagecrafters are hard at work putting together the scenery for the Senior Class Play.
Wayne Johnson '64, president of the club, is over in the corner of the stage checking to see if the scenery will fit, He is checking with Mr. James Killam, sponsor of the group, to see how it looks from the floor of the auditorium.
Stagecrafters was organized to build scenery for all of the plays and musicals that take place during the school year. One of their biggest jobs is providing scenery for V‑Show. Keeping things organized and moving at steady pace requires a great deal of work. Getting the scenery finished on time is their main objective. Even after the sets are built, the Stagecrafters' job is not done, for they then have to remove the sets after they are used.
Wayne remarked that he wanted to see Stagecrafters and the lighting crew to join together next year as one organization. "One club would then consist of stage carpenters, scenery painters, electricians, and stage hands," he explained.
Mr. Killam, who is also sponsor for the lighting crew remarked, "When the two clubs combine, the left hand will know what the right is doing and there will be better organization."

No play can go on stage without scenery unless the organization builds it themselves or Stagecrafters do it for them. Much of the credit for the past successful performances at Maine West has been due to the cooperation of Stagecrafters.
