When the Klein Thespians stepped onto the stage of the auditorium. The versatile Thespians took a typewritten script and through three to five hours of daily rehear- sal, turned it into a realistic perfor- mance. Whether the atmosphere of the production was the playful antics of Auntie Mame, the drama of Dark of the Moon, or the musical intensity of Oklahoma, these ambitious actors conquered the butterflies in their stomachs and delivered four skillful shows. Even the pressure of competi- tion couldn't crush the determina- tion of the Thespians. The 35 entertainers spread their talents to dramatic, humorous, and duet- acting tournaments all across Texas. Sixteen of these students learned some tricks of the trade at workshops at the University of Texas, Texas Tech, and Lamar. Now tongue twisters, 29-letter words and knocking knees don't even raise an eyebrow. Drama 207

NHS S Quill S Scroll Acceptance into these honor clubs are a privilege and beneficial for college accep tance, states Yvonne Fisher. cademic excellence and plen- ty of hard work deserves rewards, right? That's exactly what Quill and Scroll and the Na- tional Honor Society had, a rewar- ding year. On April 23, a new group of in- ductees, all with grade point averages of 8.5 or higher and outstanding leadership and scholarship qualities, joined the ranks of the highly intelligent Na- tional Honor Society. Don't get the idea that they sat around reading books, though. Through- out the year, NHS had their share of holiday parties. Every day, some of the members could be found buried by the supplies in the school store. The budding journalists with two years of experience on the newspaper or yearbook staff col- lected after school to recognize in- dividual achievements as well as to share their ideas and skill. The members wanted an ac- tive, fun filled year but that was an understatement. l've never seen such an enthusiastic group, said sponsor Sheila Alexander. For these two select groups, high standards and great expecta- tions were no problem. 208 NHS and Quill and Scroll f Wldldlagt Mike Rohm and Paul Reilley try their hand at pizza making at the National Honor Society Halloween party Photo by Jen Newton
