Thespians Create Dramatic Effects A herd of doughnut-eaters stampeding out of Austin-East usually heralds the coming of the Christmas season, and the Christmas work of the Thespians. They sell doughnuts to raise money for the school's Christmas decorations of which they are in charge. The tree is anchored in the lobby and traditionally decorated. With perfection, the outside of the building is framed with lights, and the holiday symbols of Santa Claus and his reindeer are erected on the roof. During the year, Thespian members also participate in the Tennessee Speech and Drama League Contest and the Kingsport Invitational Tournament. Rehearsing for a school play is another activity. Members of the National Thespian Society prove that there is more than one way to have a dramatic effect on school life. Jerry Howerton, James Clark, Thomas Ross.

Honor Society Is For Groovers, Too Members of the National Honor Society are not all book- worms as some may think, but Hgrooversn too! Their activities range from sponsoring a needy child at Christmas time, to presenting assemblies, to giving a dance with the latest sounds. The purpose of N.H.S. is to encourage education and recognition of its merits in the development of the individual's mind and character so that the person is better prepared to serve his community and to perform his civic duties. Those juniors and seniors who have a grade average of 3.2 or better and who are concerned and wish to make Austin-East a finer school comprise the National Honor Society.
