When asked why she felt students joined Thespians, Husted commented, It provides a chance for honorary theater students to perform in local and state workshops.

When asked what the purpose of Thespians was, Bill replied, To raise funds for all : Excellence tournaments as well as Thespian workships. It helps recognize you as an actor. Ron Neilson, also a senior, had been in both drama and Thespians for four years. Neilson felt that the purpose of Thespians was to promote theater in and around the school. I first heard about Thespians my freshman year, while in drama. It sounded great so I joined, stated Ron. When asked what he thought of Husted, Ron replied, I like her a lot and we get along well. She not only worries about Thespians, but about all areas of academics. She's a wonderful lady who wants to see us Thespians ex- pand in school as well as in theater, commented Bill.

Leadership Trades evelop Q eadership development, civic consciousness, social in- telligence, and vocal understan- ding were some of the functions of the Distribution Education Clubs of America, otherwise known as DECA, stated Advisor Mary Barnhart. In order to join DECA, a student had to be enrolled in a marketing or merchandis- ing class. Barnhart continued, Awareness of the needs of the com- munity is a definite way that DECA helps the students. Last year there were about seventy students involved in DECA. DECA students raised money by participating in various fund raisers so they could pay for registration fees for the Southern State and National Conferences. They participated in many outside activities some of which were: The jerry Lewis Telethon, March of Dimes Haunted House, and a Bowl-A-Thon. DECA also delivered candy to children in hospitals. Barnhart said, They got an awareness of the people around us by participating in these activities. When asked what DECA did for her, Maria Leon stated, It helps me learn more about the marketing business and what it takes to sell a product. joining DECA was highly recom- mended by Margo Martinez, she stated, If a student really doesn't know what he or she is going to do in the future, DECA will give them an idea of what they might like to do. Students' hoped to join the class next year because it was so rewarding. Margo also stated, DECA helps the students in placing their priorities in the right place and thinking about their future in reference to what career they want. It also gives us an idea about the outside community. notes before class. DECA speaker.

That was one of Karen Husted's reasons for teaching drama. She enjoyed watching drama students become more self-disciplined while per- forming on stage. Husted thought that students went out for Drama because they wanted to ex- pand their world as well as build self- confidence in themselves. Senior Ron Neilson, the business manager of the Thespian Club, became involved in the Drama Club when he joined a drama group in church and found it to be very enjoyable. I like to play the big, major roles in plays, com- mented Ron when asked what types of roles he liked to play. Bill Nance, the Thespian Club's treasurer said, The roles I like to play are the funny and challenging ones. I like to make people laugh while I'm having fun, also. Bill stated, I went out for drama because I saw how much fun the actors on T.V. were having, and I thought that it would be fun, and it was. When asked who held the most im- portant role, Ron commented, Everyone together, the directors, the actors, and the technicians all have to work hard as an organized group to put on a successful performance.
