Perhaps Northwest's Thespian Troupe 2625 had the answers all along. To become a member of the National Thespian Society, a stu- dent must earn ten Thespian points. He may appear on stage, work after school on scenery, or work on costume, make-up, props, or pub- licity committees. Working together, some 30 Thes- pians taught Pioneer Players the ropes of costuming, make-up, and publicity. Any student interested in dramatics could join Pioneer Play- ers, often his joining motivated his desire to become a Thespian. A group of Thespians attended the film biography, Funny Girl. Some experienced another branch of drama by directing one-act plays. For the first time, these plays were presented after school. Thespian officers were Lonny Huber, president, Gary Stewart, vice-president, Sandy Sprouse, sec- retary, and Arleen Bolton, clerk.

Science Club gives chance to explore and investigate Thirty scientifically inclined Pio- neers found field trips, guest speakers, movies, and lectures all provided by Science Club. Not only did members gain more knowl- edge of science, they also learned to observe the application of sci- ence in the Northwest community, to give service to that community, and to devote time to individual science projects. Field trips included visits to den- tal laboratories at the I.U. Medical Center, Allison's Powerama, State Police Crime Laboratory, Butler Ob- servatory, and a trip to Sullivan Cave. Dr. Ray Oshiro of the l.U. School of Dentistry and a doctor from the Purdue Psychology Department guest-lectured at club meetings. Science Club itself sponsored a lecture at the Children's Museum March 1. Freshman jim Wetzel, who won a S100 grant from the Marion County Heart Association with his project on sun spots, pre- sented the lecture on Solar Analy- sis. Two movies, Air Pollution and Scientific Method for Experi- ments informed and entertained club members. Several dedicated young scien- tists entered science projects in the three-day Science Fair. Projects were classified as physical science, biological, or chemistry in type.
