Theatre. Plays. Thespians. Members of the International Thespian Honor Soci- ety all participated in these aspects of school life. The Thespians were people who were very Rewarding Activity dedicated to the theatre. Several members had dedicated themselves to just the technical part of theatre, while others were only actors, and still oth- ers participated in both sides to get a broader range of the theatre life. To become a Thespian, an initiate had to earn ten points or work one hun- dred hours in the theatre. These points had to be earned in either acting, technical, or business as- pects of theatre, but there had to be two aspects in- Lcshc Moroye 'w'3'Asg. .. .... volved. They did this by starring in productions and working on sets. Many students didn't think of being a Thespian as rewarding, but Sr. Ka- ren Porter said, It's tough becoming a Thespi- an, but when you earn an award or get to perform in front of your fellow class- and parents, it's all worth it in the end.

Those that belonged to the Commitment Club SR. JON SHWARZ uses the sled to strengthen his quadriceps during the off season, were still in the weight- room or involved in some other sport. Mr Tony Manfredi, adviser of the Commitment Club, start- ed it, to keep those peo- ple who wish to be good from sitting around and losing their talentf' Players didn't partici- pate without receiving something in return though. If they made it H ' into the club they received recognition at banquets, a personalized jacket, and were exempt from the first day of conditioning.

Creativit Getting Started For most students, join- ing clubs were common, but what about starting one? Starting a club was easier than most students thought. If the club is le- gitimite, itis fairly easy, said Activities Director Ron Castagna. First, one had to fill out all the proper forms, stat- ing the expected budget, enrollment, and a spon- sor. lt's a sort of consti- tution, said Mrs. Gayle Banyard. Next, the district com- mittee, AAA tActivities, Athletics, Advisoryj, re- viewed and accepted or rejected the application. They considered if it met the guidelines suggested, if it was open to the ma- jority of the student body, and whether or not it was dangerous to the students. Only one or two clubs tried to start new clubs each year. -Janet Stifflear MEMBERS OF THE Radio , Club, a new club, enjoy their float for the Homecoming pa- rade. t I...- -. t .I Bryan Pepper i Letterman When looking through the school handbook for clubs to join, students often wondered, Do any of these clubs ever really help people in and out of Overland? Well, the answer is yes! A club started by Mr. Harry Bull, called the O Club, was made to assist in community affairs and school events. It was a club made up of any Overland letterman who wanted to put more pride in their school and community. To become a member, one had to have earned a letter through a varsity sport or some other meth- od and also to want to help people in need. Al- though this was their first Pride year with a sponsor, they didnit have time to do much, but they did help the Athletic Office produce a slide show honoring ath- letes. Mr. Bull said, We want to help the school and the community in any way possible, but our time is limited. --Greg Wilhelmi Clubs Noelle Brown 1 i 2 f c e p t i n g thoughts, feelings, emotions - everything that you could possi- bly put on paper, said Sr. Stephanie Shearer. Those were the kinds of things the Literary Maga- zine Club was look- ing for in putting to- gether the 1987 edi- tion. The students pri- marily responsible for the magazines production were Srs. Janet Stifflear, Stephanie, and Aar- on Siegel, supervised by Mrs. Geneva Cor- ace, the creative writ- ing teacher. Their re- sponsibilities includ- ed contributing their own work, editing others' submissions, typing the entries and submitting them to the publisher.
