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.

Senior Bill Nance had been involved in drama and Thespians for four years. Bill joined Thespians because he wanted to expand his world of theater. 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.
