VICA sponsors many projects F ICA had a lot of projects to keep them busy this year. To raise money, they held record dances at Booker T. Washington and they sponsored bus trips to away football and basketball games. They entered a float in the Peanut Bowl parade with their own king and queen and later contributed fifteen dollars to the senior citizens. They attended the Southampton trade school and another trade school in Washington D.C. Members went to a VICA rally in Nags Head where officers stayed for two days. Pres. Miller, V.P Lassiter. Sec.

The club has expanded its program from D.E. I and D.E. II students to include a full and active D.E. Ill class. Some of the projects the club has been involved in includes a marketing survey for McDonalds hamburger chain, donation of money to the cheer fund, and participation in both the District Leadership Conference and State Leadership Conference. Last year the club had four winners in the district contests and had three parti¬ cipants on the state level. One of the highlights for the teachers was the annual luncheon for all faculty and staff members, paying tribute for a job well done during the school year.

Thespians perform Shakespeare The Thespian Society brought Shakespeare to Suffolk High this year. Before staging any productions, however, the members had to learn what goes into the making of a play. Mrs. Cones taught her students the fundamentals of make-up, lighting, scenery, speech and costuming. Their first play, The Taming of the Shrew was held during the early spring for the school. Auditions were held in January with teachers as judges and practices were held after school. Later in the spring, the Thespian Club again used Shakespeare’s plays. A trilogy composed of scenes from Hamlet, MacBeth, and The Taming of the Shrew finished the year. Front row — Stone. Mrs. Cones — Sponsor. Fry. P. Harrell. Steiner. Hollan. Asbell. Second row — Cox.
