The local troupe of Thespians No. ll9 started things off with a bang by drawing up a new constitution and initiating a group of amateurs. The stars sponsored the one-act play contest, giving each class a chance to show its acting ability. The winning class had its name engraved on a placque presented to the school by the Thespians. Under the direction of Miss Schielke, the Thespians presented a comedy of youth entitled. Life Begins at Sixteen. The central characters were Paul and Frannie Hollis, sixteen-year old twins. The mother won a radio contest and with her husband had been rewarded a trip to Havanna. During their absence, Paul decides the Hollis Shoe Store will undergo a modernization and turns his talents to the private life of his sister Marjorie To aid him in these schemes, he enlists the secret Seven. a society of sixteen-year-olds ol which he is president. Officers of the Troupe this year were: Donald Huebner, Pres., Carl Boettcher, Vice Pres., Mary Ritchie. Sec., and Treas. Maxine Maxsted. Thespians T ' .ff-:Qi 'H t , ,. . A
