Ah, o merry bond ore they, Troup 1464. 5-alll. Ten fingers help first grader Jenny Jarvis fSue StonerJ add while her classmates watch. Teacher Stewart coaches her. In reality, The National T hespian Society, Troupe 1464, is an honorary dramatic organization. The purpose of Thespians is to create an apprecia- tion and an interest in all types of theatre activities as well as to build character. When a student has worked one hundred hours on the many dramatic productions at Adams, he is eligible for Thespian membership. This year, for the first time, as well as nelping with the school fall play and the all-city musical, the Thespians put on a play of their own. Ah, a merry band are they, led by that ominous zarlet, the club's sponsor, who is known as Josh. Reeking of grease paint, they delighted the public with their dramatic productions. Betwixt times, 'nany well-spent hours were passed laughing or aboring mightily over scenery. Alas and alack, the outside world doesn't under- tand them! They live in a fuzzy, fuzzy, make-be- ieve world! B. Liss, Treasurerg J. Weir, retaryg Mr. W. Brady, Sponsor, D. Mickelsen, President C. Schiller, Historian. S. Stoner, Sec N. X. .tg .

Auro of make-believe surrounds dromotists. Once a month on Tuesday afternoon, a mass stampede of students rush down to the Little The- ater. These eager specimens of young humanity gather in the lower reaches of our school not for political reasons, nor are they digging for gold, but they are there for the common goal of supporting the Drama Club. Those who attend these meetings are not necessarily aspiring actors. Many of them are part of the stage crew, publicity, of costume committees. Each of these committees is essential for a successful production. l S I Disturbed by the pupils of his one room schoolhouse, Jessie Stewart CSteve Lumml discusses his problems with his sweetheart, Naomi Dean CCarol Schillerj. The fall play this year was The Thread That Runs So True by Jesse Stuart. It is the moving story of a young schoolteacher on his first job in the back hills of Kentucky. For weeks the patter of bare feet resounded on the Adams stage. A vast crowd warmly received the two-night production. In December members of the group went to Chi- cago to see the Music Man by Rodgers and Ham- merstein. The performance, as well as the trip, was enjoyed by all. The Drama Club also helped in the all-city pro- duction of the opera The Gypsy Baron. Painting sets, rounding up properties, and applying make-up were a few of their services.

They scurried all over the school in frantic search of tidbits of news and gossip. Every Thursday afternoon hoards of news, feature, and sports writers rushed to room 111 where they frantically push and shove one another in a mad chaotic scramble for assignments. Over the week-end the editors spent hours slaving over a typewriter editing the journalistic gems and fitting them to the dummy. Advertising and business staffs went outside in sub-zero weather and begged and pleaded with busi- nessmen to buy advertising space in the Tower. The circulation staff, also known as the professional paper pilers, handled the folding of the papers on Thursday afternoons. Finally, on Fridays the fruits of their labor- the Tower-was released to the eager and anxious student body. The staff had done it again. Row 1: P. Dosman, C. Lemontree, J. Pix, J. Goldstein, J.
