Come see THAT ' S ENTERTAINMENT IN FIVE ACTS. Read the advertisement for the first produc- tion presented by the Thespian Club. Despite some awkwardness and unforseen circumstances the five acts became two. Director Mark Wilson proclaimed the show must go on so with the two fine acts that were left the show did go on for three matinees and one evening performance. In THE PSYCHIATRIST IN SPITE OF HIMSELF, Millie (Brenda Garcia) seeks revenge on her husband Bud (Vince Nerey). She tells Frank and Evelyn (David Leroy and Alicia Munoz) that she knows of an excellent psychiatrist for their daughter Chris (Jamie Rivas) who wants to marry Rak (Danny Carrasco). Complications abound when the psychiatrist happens to be Millie ' s husband, Bud, the mechanic. In A MORE PERFECT UNION a group of girls por- tray snobs who refuse to accept a girl from across the tracks into their glee club. B. Garcia, J. Rivas, E. Rivas, K. Ullberg, J. Rivas, D. Hippie, R. Wilkinson and A. Munoz gave outstanding performances. Hats off to the technical crew. This drama season debut was a delightful tribute to Mark Wilson ' s talent and effort.

Strong muscles and nerves were the requirements for participation on Bassett ' s donkey basketball team. Even so, many student and faculty players finished the February 16th game with shattered nerves and aching muscles. Leading the list of aches and pains were Mr. John Bush, playing for the faculty team and who decided to fall from his donkey in a different way — on his head. Call- ing for the student team was junior Mike McCall, whose donkey decided he liked Mike better on the floor than on his back. While the gym floor was taking all this pounding, however, a few players managed to stay on their donkeys long enough to score. High scorer for the faculty team was Bill Leavitt, whose 10 points were the major force in pushing the teachers to victory. Carolyn Watt was also at the top of the scoring roster with 8 points to her credit, while Rachael Rey scored 4 points. Other scorers were Tokijo iOchi, Rudy Ramirez and Paul Gudbrandsen, each racking up one basket. Mike McCall stayed on his beast long enough to score 6 points for the student team. Following him, John Collins, Tina Sandavol and Vincent Rubio all pushed in 4 points each. Chris Zepeda, Tim McMurtrey, Dale Aguilar and Memo Galvan also had a hand in scoring with 2 points each.
