We've finally reached he top! or those students whose life demanded the need to be in the spotlight, they were quite easily found in the Thespian Club. To qualify for membership, one must accumulate one hundred or more hours of drama service work, attend mandatory meetings, and participate in at least three drama related activities through the year. When it came time for new members to be initiated into the club, excitement sizzled in the air. These students would have to prove their worthiness by completing several acting tasks. I hope I pass. I wonder what they'll make me do? Will I embarrass myself? These are all questions that the future Thespians asked themselves constantly. 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

The ensemble performed at school assemblies, Placentia Round Table luncheons, Park New- port District festivals, and the annual Take HI show. Their busy schedule included long rehearsals, serious moments, times for stress, and even fun. This enabled the group to grow and build lasting friendships.
