Pep Club members Carol Burchett, Diane Buhl, and Diane McLeod talk about the last Friday night game. GAA — Star Trek — Pep Club 155 interest A relatively unknown organization, the Girls Athletic Association provided greatly appreciated encouragement and support for female athletes. Meeting in the girls' team room, the GAA planned programs to raise money. These funds helped purchase facilities needed by the girls' athletic department and bought GAA pins, which were awarded to active members of the club. Frequently, volleyball games were held during meetings. Long-lost status on the grounds of GCM was regained by thePep Club as they emerged from being an insignificant group to a morale-boosting spirit club. Artistic posters, urging Statesmen to perform their best in sports events, covered the walls. Sitting as a group at various games, the Pep Club performed their duties as spirit-pushers and cheered the Statesmen to victory. Finally making themselves known to the student body, the Pep Club added spice to the spirit of Marshall. The television show was discontinued several years ago, but according to members of Marshall's Star Trek Club, Star Trek lives forever. Trekkies gathered after school to watch film clips of the show, discuss science-fiction books, make computer printouts of the Starship Enterprise, and portray their favorite characters. Clingons and slime monsters were unwelcome at club meetings, but no restrictions were placed on any other creatures wishing to participate in club activities. Part of a nationwide fad, the club grew in popularity as the year progressed. Loyal trekkies made plans to attend a Star Trek convention in the spring. Senior Ann Langalis stops in her tracks to listen and watch the events at the athletic banquet. Stunned by Adam Lynn's phaser gun, Wes Johnson falls into a trance as Orphus Evans pauses from setting up the Star Trek elections.

Getting into the act Dramatic productions would not have existed without dedication and work put into plays by talented students. The success of performances was determined largely by the participation of able and interested students. Many of the lead roles in productions were performed by members of the honorary Thespian Society. Drama students were eligible for membership in the group by earning a certain number of points toward entering the organization. Points were scored by taking part in various activities of the Drama Department. Besides participation in Marshall's major productions, Thespians performed smaller shows. Spoon River and A Christmas Carol were staged before January. The backbone of plays was provided by drama students. Most of these students were active members of the Drama Club. The club not only performed but served as an audience as well. They viewed three Broadway hits in spring, when they visited New York City on the annual trip. The club consisted of dedicated cast and crew members who enjoyed the performing arts. Costumed as a harlot, Thespian Kathy Kinsolving belts out Turn Back, O Man during a performance of Godspell. 156 Drama Club — Thespians
