Artistry appreciation characterize clubs The Thespians were an active and spirited group. ln keeping with their spirit, they celebrated their annual Twelve Days of Christmas with a party backstage during which each member learned the identities of their secret pals for the holidays, and Senior Margi Gould was voted to reign as Santa. For five Thespians, Sam Drennan, Margi Gould, Jon Maynard, Kaci McNally, and Randy Sheets, activities did not slow down during their mid-winter break. Along with Advisor Vi Watson and and sever- al other Marshall students, they visited New York City, touring museums, the Statue of Liberty, and Broadway's theaters. According to Watson, the trip was the best one ever taken. On May 20, the Thespians held their annual awards banquet. Senior Jon Maynard won four awards, including best actor and best supporting actor. Senior Susan Norton and Sophomore Zaxaro Kokkoris tied for best actress. Named best support- ing actress was Senior Patti Diamond. To become a member of the Thespian troupe number 976, 50 hours of work on a play production must be accumulated. The Tolkien Society of Marshall was a small liter- ary group which met in B-27 weekly to read and discuss the writings of author .J.R.R. Tolkien. The club also sponsored activities including business meetings, discussions, and banquets. Their annual banquet, held in November, com- memorated the birthday of Bilbo Baggins and his nephew, Frodo, two of the ring bearers in the Lord Of the Rings trilogy. Several avid readers joined the Society this year. lt was a wonderful experience, expressed new member Grace Milner. The officers for the Tolkien Society were Sam Drennan, Milner and Beth Key. The group was small, but we still had fun, commented Tolkien member Oliver Hall. RELAXING BACKSTAGE after elections is newly-appointed Thespian President Dawn Alcorn.
