Ray Canaday cleans out cobwebs preparing for another successful year. Co-ordinating drama activities for the year were Thespian officers Steve Worrell, Larry Beckner, Sharon Borton, and Debbie Dawson. Drama Club officers, Kathy Burton, Lois Smith, Larry Garner, and especially David Svaldi think Troy Douglas is over-acting a bit. Dramatists Gain Experience Drama Club included enthusiasts from all phases of production. Preparing members for initiation into Thespians, the group also sought to impart poise and experience on the stage. Thespians, a national honorary drama society for high school students, acquainted its members with facts about the history of the theater and acting techniques. Thespians headed all committees for the school plays; but troupe members assisted them with publicity, ticket sales, and other production tasks —all under the direction of the speech teachers.

Clubs Broaden Interest In Library, Visual Aids The Library Service Club sought to broaden student interest in books and understanding of library use. Many members participated in the Western Slope Conference of Student Librarians held March 2 at Fruita High School. The club spent $25 to send paperback books to needy schools overseas. Under the sponsorship of the high school librarians, the assistants tested a new system in which they merited library pins by earning points. Points were given for working in the library before and after school; for helping with concession stand duties; for planning the library sponsored dance; for creating bulletin boards; and for serving the club, school, and library. Awards were presented at the annual banquet in the spring. Projectionists, under the supervision of Mrs. Patricia Fink, aided teachers and students while they gained valuable experience in the use and maintenance of audio-visual equipment. During their study halls, projectionists operated film strips and movie projectors along with other equipment for teachers. The 17 members included sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Along with technical knowledge, members gained initiative and learned reliability. Reading current periodicals, the Library Club officers, Jean Schubert, Carol Kunard, Bill Mahan, and Judy Mulnix become better informed to help fellow students obtain up-to-date in- formation. Giving a few pointers to Jim Richie and Frank O'Brien, Lee Baldwin clears up Mrs. Pat Fink and Frank O'Brien moke sure proiec- some confusion. ,ion equipment is scheduled correctly.
