T HREE Promotion of student participation in dramatic and interpretative drama was the purpose of the Thespians at Alamogordo High School this year. Members performed in skits and various interpretations at monthly meetings to exemplify this goal. The group was financed through yearly membership dues and a candy sale. The main activity of the club this year was the presentation of three one-act plays in March. Cast try-outs for these were open to all students, as well as Thespian members.

Thus AHS gave birth to ASHACA. The Alamogordo Senior High Associa- tion of Creative Artists was sponsored by lVlrs. Faye Lee. This was its first year and trial test period.
