Some are standing, others are yelling the names of the actors, and others are whis- tling. That was the feeling you got after watch- ing a play. You feel great, enthusiastic, you love the feeling! said junior Thespian Cameron Romney. The Thespians were the actors' honor society. Over 200 students were involved with the drama program. Anybody and everybody gets involved, said Sr. Joe Smith, the vice president of the local Thespian chapter. One might ask why students enjoy drama enough to get involved. Sr. Charles Flohr said, I like the involvement and the rush you get from putting on a performance. And as for the drama students, Soph. Carolyn Stifflear said, I like drama because it's exciting and it keeps me going, and I look forward to it every day. Mr. John Kron and Ms. Karen Schiemann taughtdrama and Mr. Paul Smith taught choral music. They got involved for enjoyment, too. Mr. Smith said, Really good music or acting done well seems to touch on the physical, emotional, and spiritual parts of humanity in an unspeakable way. Ms. Schiemann said, I like to watch something grow from nothing, from script to a new world. The difference between the drama and athletic programs was that there wasn't com- petition in drama. Mr. Kron, sponsor of the drama program, said, An athletic team, for example, is interested in beating the other teamg drama is interested in other people. The only way it loses is if nobody shows up at its production. Actors don't compete. There were four major productions throughout the year: a drama, a comedy, a musical, and some student-produced, one act plays. In addition, the plays were related to the students. Soph. Peter Dunn said, They show the difficulties of students and the problems of school life. Other teachers who were involved with after school productions were Mr. Neal Wal- lace, who was technical director, and Mr. Darrell Laguardia, who was the musical direc- tor. The students never saw the behind the scenes action during a play. Sr. Rachel Aid said, The theater has a lot of varying aspects, so most techie's have a specialty. The students enjoyed the plays. J r. Sarah Graham said, They have good actors and believable characters. Soph. Bill Untiedt said, They are pretty high quality plays. The thespians canied on the tradition start- ing with the oath: '5Act well your part, there all the honor lies. rmii.-mam ' ightsl Camera! Action!
