NATIONAL THESPIANS ln l955 Central High School and South High School became junior high schools and Lima Senior High School was assigned The Thespian Troupe Charter 553, which formerly had been at the Central High School. South High School Charter 649 was withdrawn. At the time-and up until her passing away this year, Miss Ruth Moore had served faithfully as the National Thespian Sponsor. Because of the circumstances involved, Mr. Ron Dondero is now serving as Thespian sponsor and has declared this year's organization to be an honorary society for all of the dramatic arts students. Eighteen members were pledged into the organizations this year while two members from last year were retained. Members are asked to remember Miss Moore and her splendid efforts in keeping the local troupe organized. -124-

SPECIAL EFFECTS Our organization can be distinguished from the others in that it is the only service organi- zation that meets two hours each week on school time. It is also connected with the stu- dent council and partially financed by it. As for officers there are several chairmen during the year, heading as many committees which are determined by the school social calendar. The primary purpose of Special Effects is the creation of special art projects, i.e. dance decorations, stage sets, Christmas decorations for the building, the school play, musical pro- ductions, the Coronation ceremonies, and any other projects of the school that call for the talents of art students. -12 The group has no official treasurer, and the use of a secretary would be ridiculous, since C for the sake of efficiencyb the meetings, when they occur, are too informal. Occasionally you can find more than one committee conferring simultaneously, which might tend to confuse the outsiders. It also tends to confuse insiders. One member des- cribed the meetings as organized chaos. However, in spite of the informality, we do get things done. The results of our efforts can be seen from time to time adorning the walls of the cafeteria, at dances, the auditorium, and the stage. Miss Mary Kirk is club advisor.
