Theatre is by Barbara Meyer Shakespeare once said that All the World's A Stage, and for many of the active participants in I-Iempstead's theatre department, this is very true. The department spent this year producing the fall play, Equus, taking a travel- ing company to perform for various area schools, and participating in speech and theatre contests. The spring play was omitted from the schedule. The touring company was made up of students from the theatre classes. They performed short skits and other diversified theatrical episodes. Out of many students who participated in District and State speech contests, 14 took their acts to All- State competition. Those students were: lean Brittain, Michelle Dunn, Lisa Haverland, Dawn Latham, 11 Someone did a good make-up job on Wayne Tallman, '85.

Two other acts also went to All-State and achieved the highest honor possible in the Iowa High School Speech Association - they received the banner, signifying the best perfor- mance in the state of Iowa. These students were Iill Nicholson in Solo Mime and Gavin Boultinghouse and Barbara Meyer in Duet Acting. As a whole, the theatre department had a very successful year, and since many of the drama students are underclassmen, the pro- spects for the future are good. N.,-was lg, vin

T hespians . . . act well by Hillard Salas Hempstead's Thespians could be seen in many theater-related activities during the 1982-83 school year such as Equus, the fall play, the David Rabe con- test plays, and even The Music Man, Hempstead's annual musical, and initiat- ing new members into the elite theatrical group. On May 12, fourteen strangely dressed students, freshmen Connie Riniker, Tammy Donahue, and Tim Brehm, and sophomores Iodi Mistek, lean Brittain, Cheryl Iler, Ann Foster, Kristi Pigg, Grace Ege, Dawn Latham, Lisa Haver- our part . . . Lisa Almquist walked around Hempstead for their Thespian initiation. When- ever they met up with a Thespian, however, things got even stranger as they did imitations of people like Olive Oyl or Lady Godiva. You spend the whole day dodging Thespians and the worst words in the world were, 'Thespian, act well your part!' said Mis- tek. In order to be asked to join the Thespians, new members needed to ac- cumulate credit by working with the different aspects of theater from acting to sets to props over two major land, Michelle Dunn and productions. .il 1 At the All-State Speech Festival, Iill icholson, '83, won best in state for solo ime.

The staff could never get enough recognition for all of the time and effort they put forth. Time spent on the special duties such as making sure the bleachers are out for pep assemblies, cleaning up after pep assemblies, and cleaning up after lunches, keep them busy every min- ute of the work day. How- ever, their top priority is keeping our school looking the way it does so we can be proud of it. The janitors not only work inside the school but are responsible for the entire school grounds. Dur- ing the fall and spring the grass has to be mowed and naturally the snow shov- elled in the winter. 119
