Its purpose is to promote interest in the Dramatic Arts, to allow further participation in dramatic activities, and to recog- nize those students who have made outstanding achievements in the field of drama. An invitation into Thespian Troupe 543, designating the accumulation of 10 points earned by the candidate and the affirmative vote of the present club members, starts the fun for the candidate. Initiation Day proves to be a big one for all future members as they are run through their paces. The year was a big one for Troupe 543. A fall picnic started the social activities, work on the homecoming float fplaced 3rdJ and sponsoring of an all-school Femmes Fancy Formal party tgirl-ask-boyj called for group cooperationg and an excursion to see The Music Man at KRNT theater in Des Moines met with much enthusiasm for those who were able to make the trip.

First the choruses tell the story of creation - the birth of light, firmament, earth and seas, birds, trees and man. There is the life in the garden of Adam fpantomimed by Victor Lothej and Eve Ueannette Thompsonj, then the tempta- tion. After the Fall there is life outside the garden - the birth of pain, death, and children, Cain CDoug Nieburj and Abel fGary Obrechtj. There is the moving first offering to God and the jealousy of Cain, who then turns on his brother. With Abel dead, Eve finds courage to go on, and also she finds compassion. The story flows between the principals and the choral groups, the latter being the voices of good and evil. The dramatic essence of many stories is caught here and presented with a poetic simplicity which is noteworthy in its phrasing and impact.
