It is non-secret and non-social and is devoted to furthering interest in dramatics in the secondary schools. This society has been very active during this school year, having presented two plays. A one act play, “The Villian Still Pursues Her,” was presented at the carnival of the P. T. A. of McCandless school. A three act play, “Cinderella Rose,” was given at the high school auditorium on December 11, 1942. The play was a musical comedy and was one of the most successful plays of the year. The annual play contest is sponsored by the Thespians and the plays are directed by Thespians. The main social activity of Thespians for the year was a formal banquet and party which was held in February. The Thespians year closed with an initiation and party for sophomores and juniors who were eligible for membership at the end of the year.
