Being a Thespian was, and still is, an honor that students could treasure during the years to come. They could look back and remember the close friends they made, the encour- agement during a performance, State Thespian, or the Thes- pian play put on at the end ofthe year. All of these activities were what brought the once mass of individuals into a united family. Go for the limelite, go for the gold. BREAK A LEG!!! Thespian E13
