Thespians Watch Your Cues Troupe 922 of the National Thespian Society was granted a charter this spring for its seven charter members. Sponsored by Miss Ausley, the Troupe formed with three members holding star ratings.. A non-secret, non-social organization, the societyfs aims are two-fold: to establish and advance standards of excellence in all phases of dramatic arts, and to create an active and intelligent interest in dramatic arts among students in all high schools. Besides the one hundred hours required for member- ship, the work done must be outstanding and not for self glory. Recognition does not end with initiation into the Troupe. Thespians may earn as many as four stars and become Honor Thcspians after contributing six hundred hours of work. After acceptance into the society, mem- bers are required to function as an inner circle of experienced crew heads or to assume roles in the plays. All major productions of the dramatics department are now Thespian sponsored. Among the plans for the future are to assist other organizations with their programs and to sponsor assembly programs equal to the standards set for their plays. Miss Jill Shafer was granted an honorary membership by the troupe for her work as Business Manager during Bell, Book and Candle and Blithe Spirit. .. sa Q i fl '..,.lEEilne ARMED WITH PAINT BRUSHES AND TALENT, Thes- pian officers climb their rickety old ladder.
