MW By May of 1986, 24 students had been accepted into Coronado's only audition-only vocal per- forming group. The Advanced Choral Ensem- ble, or ACE as it is commonly known, took on a new dimension in the 1986-87 school year. The main cause for the major change in ACE was Miss Leighanne Sim- mers, the group's new director. Miss Simmers dedicated herself to helping ACE uphold its reputation. The year began with extensive preparation for the Holiday sea- son. ln addition to frequent re- hearsals and meetings, ACE scheduled over 20 performances in December. Hot only did ACE perform to become known around the community, they also per- formed to raise funds for the tradi- tional Spring Break Tour of Califor- nia. ACE raised over S600 through performances, and held many oth- er fund-raisers as well. A big mon- ey-maker during the holidays was the sale of ACE carols. ACE sold over 250 carols which were deliv-' ered on the last day of school be- fore Winter Break. ln March, ACE performed Let's Cro To The Movies, a full concert of movie show tunes, and traveled to California, making stops at Dis- neyland and Hard Rock Cafe. Clos- ing out the year ACE performed their Senior Farewell concert, and Miss Simmers auditioned students to become members of ACE for the next year. tilt has been a fan- tastic year, and l know that Miss Simmers will continue to build up ACE until it's back where it be- longs - at the top , voiced ACE President Doreen Henderson.

Tdapm .wcwq egmliia lpuul' by Davm Britton Individual photos by Larry McGrath The International Thespian So- ciety, Troop 1557, is one of the oldest Honorary organizations at Coronado. It has inducted over one thousand desewing members since its charter membership was established in 1965. Thespians is devoted to . . . excellence in Sec- ondary School Dramatic Arts. An invitation into its ranks is deter- mined by the amount and quality of work accomplished during an individuals high school theatre ca- reer. The society is not, by defini- tion a service organization but Thespians have always been ac- tive in community and school pro- jects. Scholarships and awards are presented by the annual Spring Formal Invitation and the lifetime friendships have always been based on trust, productivity, and most importantly, respect and love for the performing arts. Just knowing what it takes to be a Thespian, and earning enough points to be one is one thing, but being there is an experience. In the words of a now graduated Thespian l'It was the most fun l've ever had. Dedication is a major word in the Thespian Society. Meetings and productions un- doubtedly take a huge chunk out of time. Not to mention the annual Haunted House put on by the Thespians at Eldorado Park.
