THE THESPIANS The Thespians, a comparatively new dramatic club, started the year with a successful drive for new members. This club, having the largest membership in school, meets every other Tuesday morning. It supplies experience in plays and prize-speaking for those interested in dramatics but not eligible for Masquers. Program committees provide the pro- gram for each meeting which includes one-act plays, skits and readings. At Christmas the club had a Christmas tree and party, at which time the members exchanged gifts.
