Thesptans coigntrated more on actual performances than on club meetings. Some of the activities of the troop were Spoon River Anthologland The King and I. During the summer, members attended the Intemational Thespian Convention in Muncie, Ind., where they mainstaged Chinese Romance. Thespians were well trained. Since most of the commu- nity had not seen Chinese Romance, the cast, after an eight month lapse, rehearsed two times and performed it for the dedication of the LHS Center for the Performing Arts. The new high school stage brought a multitude of advantages over the middle school auditorium. The new theater with its large stage allows us to do more stunts than we did before, said Sophomore Montika Young. Seniors Susan Apgood, Tammy Hicks, Monique Lewis, J on Jensen, Sophomore Joe Brodine and Freshman Bridget Cox placed third with Spoon River Anthology, a poetic reader's theatre, at the State Festival in Riverton.

Forever looking for new dramatic areas, the troop turned from Chinese Beijing Opera to Japanese Kabuki. As an introduction, students attended a professional Kabuki performance of MapBeth at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City. Thir- teen students attended a workshop at Weber State College in Utah to learn about the history and movement of Kabuki. While at Weber State, the students auditioned for next year's high school state drama Kabuki entry The Zen Substitute. I didnit like the play QMQQBQJIQJ very much, but it was interesting to see how it was performedf noted Freshman Trooly Mc- Carroll who won the lead in The Zen Substitute.

Moming after moming the band practices marching fomiations. The community never sees the full band march at football games as many members are athletes involved in games. In the summer, some students have jobs which keep them from participating in parades. Thus, the full band is together only during class time and at the state marching contest in Casper.
