Thespian Members Proudly Wear Pins Thespian membership was also gained by those working on commit- tees. Make-up Chairman Tony Marando glues a realistic beard on Bob Mead, psychiatrist. Students sat nervously on the edge of their seats at the National Honor Society inductions held in the au- ditorium on November 21, 1967 and March 14, 1968, hoping their names would be called. Fifteen percent of the senior class was chosen to be members by the faculty. Mr. Merle Blue was the sponsor. The members were chosen not only on scholarship but also on char- acter, leadership, and service. A reception tea for the inductees and their parents followed both inductions. The first semester officers were Craig Salyer, Presi- dent; Bill Groth, Vice-President; Jane Zimmerman, Secretary; and Cosimo Natali, Treasurer. These offices changed the second semester with Carol Ann Nix, President; Jim LaBelle, Vice-President; Suzanne Col- lins, Secretary; and Hilary Asher, Treasurer. The Emily K. Davidson Thespian Troupe 496 began its second year under the direction of Mr. James Wright. After the senior play, the roll included 29 dramatists. These students, interested in the produc- tion and presentation of plays, earned their member- ships by working on the two class plays. In January the members sold MHS class pins to raise money. The Juniors who had major roles in their class play were inducted in May.

Reading Club Formed, Debaters Win Reader ' s Guild officers, Mary Leake, Vice-president; Mary Albanese, President; and John Marsh, Secretary-Treasurer review books. Hall guide! was a familiar cry in the halls as the teachers sent the MHS hall guides off on errands. Although this was their main job, it was not their only one. The 90 hall guides maintained order in the halls and regulated traffic. Checkers and Sponsor Helen Stoddard checked hall guides for attendance and behavior. Making a vivid comeback after years of inactivity, the MHS debate team continued building the debate program. The four varsity debaters went to several invitationals and won many honors at the spring banquet. Mr. Bruce Chamberlin coached the team. Two varsity debaters Dave Nevel, and Roger Brady, attended a two week debate seminar at Indiana University during the summer on scholarships pro- vided by the Student Council. The two debaters placed first in the climax of a round-robin match of nine debaters at the Institute. Students interested in books joined a new club, The Reader ' s Guild. This new group, sponsored by Mrs. Harriet Nye and Mrs. Helen Teeters, is an actual combination of the Book Guild and Jr. Librarians. The members saw several movies, including An Inter- view With Mark Twain, and they discussed new books. Paperbacks were offered to the club members at a discount. One of the most important groups of people in the activities world of the school was the Board of Con- trol. This group of six students and six faculty mem- bers reviewed all of the clubs ' budgets. Board of Control — First row: Miss Miller, Miss Rea, Miss Wil- son, Mr. Baker, Mr. Thurston, Mr. Dykstra. Second row : Mark Hoff- man, Jerry Heiser, Willie Shan- non, Greg Kuharic, Steve Baker, Dennis Aguirre, Mr. Rice.
