“Living people, humans, occupied with their petty occupations and small thoughts, know little of true joy or happiness .... Even the “I love you all, everything!” is realization and discovery as much as it is poignancy.” T.W. “This play is called OUR TOWN. It was written by Thornton Wilder and produced by the Aspen High School Thespian Society. In it you will see Amy Erickson, Edmond Shapiro, Jeff Edmonds, Bill Coleman, Karen Blomquist, Sandy Wilkinson, and many others too numerous to mention. “OUR TOWN. ” was directed by Bill Shore. The absence of scenery allowed the audience to use their imaginations. Attentive ears, as well as eyes, were needed to catch the message that was portrayed.

28 Thespians Did you ever think it is as difficult to be- come a Thespian as it is to become a good athlete? As a national organization, The Thespian Society sets a high stan- dard for its members. As of this year, there are thirty-three students who have worked hard enough to receive the need- ed points. Some students are still working hard to earn two points, while others still need all ten points. The soon-to-be Thes- pians gather credit by involving them- selves in the various plays and drama- oriented events. The whole student body is encouraged to get involved . THESPIANS; Lett to right, J.
