TI-IESPIANS S 47- Z' srl 'S' Q9 -afr- Aln. Q Forward March! rings in the ears of every member of troupe No. 435 of the National Thespian Society. Each year is a bigger and better one for the dramatic honor students of our school. Twenty-three new members have been admitted during the past year and each one is doing his part to make troupe 435 another honorary troupe for this year. Due to the War and lack of transportation facilities, no annual play con- test was held this year. However, interest still runs high and students still answer the call to colors for National Thespian. As a social function, the active members entertained the new members this year with a spaghetti feed followed by a formal initiation which was colorful and impressive. In the annual operetta, familiar faces of Thespian members were seen. The Senior play, Ever Since Eve , was a successful accomplishment of many active troupe members with supporting actors and actresses. The Junior play, Best Foot Forward , should procure many more fine Thespians. A POEM FOR EVERY THESPIAN MEMBER OF TROUPE 435 TI-IESPIANS T is for thoughtful -every Thespian must be, H is for happy -a joy just to see. E is for earnest -there's no better trait, S for sincerity -to always be straight . P stands for poise -which all actors need, I stands for instinct -it's really the seed. A stands for ability -a must-don't you know, N is nobility -inlfriend or in foe. Dear to our hearts is troupe 435, We work tooth and nail to keep it alive. It's fun and it's jolly and an honor too, We hope that in Thespian we'll soon find you. Page thu ty jwe
