hespians collect production ideas Trips to see plays such as Godspell, at the University of St. Thomas, How the Other Half Loves, at the Alley, and Celebra- tion, at the Houston Baptist University provided Thespian Club members with opportunities to observe professional actors on stage and obtain ideas to improve the students' act- ing techniques. Sponsoring and presenting the Fall Production, Dark of the Moon, enabled Thespians to become acquainted with all the areas involved in the production of a play. Thespians also par- ticipated in speech and drama tournaments throughout the year. Members provided entertainment during the pauses at the Most Beautiful, Most Handsome Contest. During the Thanksgiving holidays, some members visited New York City to see plays on Broadway. Although this activity was not sponsored by the school, club members who attended returned with ideas to be used by all Thespians. Acting awards, technical awards and outstanding new- comer awards were among the honors members received at the banquet held at the Spanish Galleon, May 19. Letters were also presented on the basis of points earned throughout the year for a member's involvement in the club's activities. A.
