Creativity through the thespi- ans and Varsity Arts deve- lopes the performing and Fine Arts. Although the number of experienced art students were limited, much was accomplished for the Varsity Art Club. Three students were able to compete in the Diamond Bar Artist Guild ' s Puente Hills March Art Festival, where they submitted artwork and competed against many students from local high schools for cash prizes. Doing the artwork for the fine arts maga- zine. Calliope, was also one of the Varsity Art Club projects. But Varsity Art wasn ' t all paint- ing and drawing, they sponsored Diamond Bar ' s first annual Brahma Blood-In with a large success of donations. In addition to class time, many club mem- bers took advantage of the art room during lunch on Tuesdays and Thursdays where they were able to work on drawings, air brush paintings, animation, and many other types of art activities. Although the students who participated in Varsity Art will never earn a Varsity letter, they gain assistance, satisfaction, and recognition on Honors Night for being a Varsity Artist. Advisor Mr. Donn C. Morris commented, It provides an opportunity for work time, gives students prestige, and allows students who are unable to be a part of a formal art class, to be a part of the Art Department. Another group of artists on campus were the THESPIANS. Though the troupe was lack- ing in membership, there were still many inter- ested drama students trying to achieve a Thespian membership in the International Thespian Society. In order to become a Thes- pian, each student had to gain 15 points through participating in plays, and helping with set design and lighting. Devoting hundreds of hours to plays was common for the Thespian troupe. During De- cember they presented six shows of Arsenic and Old Lace. In May they presented a Spring play. The Thespian organization gave many members recognition, personal satisfaction, and honors for their achievements in the fine art of performing, as well as the invalubale experience achieved through participation in a production. As advisor Mr. Bruce Dunbridge commented, It ' s very important since it gives students a sense of importance, recognition, and their own true identity. Veteren Thespian Mykel Allan adds, I enjoy having friends that have the same interests as me. ► A stunned yet worried mortimer (Tony Merten) realizes that his aunts (Mykel Allan and Michelle Brown) have just poisened many of their tenants. Mykel and Tony were also Thespians at Walnut High School. W Applying more paint, Steve Horvath puts finishing touches on his painting of singer Keith Moon. Large paint- ings like this were later displayed near the lunch area to be admired. SHARING THEIR HE ' ART ► Concentrating on his woric, Jeff Boyer draws a Ma- rine. Doing drawings such as this took a lot of time and dedication.
