OHS Cast Members Who Were Literally 'In The Spotlight' Cast characters who were members of Rose Curtain or Thespians had dual roles in Our High School, 1978. They performed on the theatri- cal stage as well as their roles in every- day school life. Inherit the Wind, The Saga of Sagebrush Sal and Finders Keepers were presented by the Rose Curtain Players in 1977-78. After every production, the cast members got together for a cast party. One party for the cast members was held at a fellow Rose Curtainer, Mar- tha Meachams' house, but the cast party for Sagebrush Sal was held on the 11-12 Center stage. The annual Rose Curtain-Thespian banquet was held at the home of George Greer. All the members of Rose Curtain and Thespians got to- gether for the banquet and reminisced about the year. Working on Rose Curtain and Thespians involved practices until late at night, while trying to keep up with school, jobs, etc. Noel Patton sponsored both Rose Curtain and Thespians. Rose Curtain members who devot- ed 100 productive hours and who worked on at least two full produc- tions were entitled to be a member of Thespians. The prospective members must go through an initiation period. It wasn't unusual to see a student walking through the halls with a heavy plaque on a rope around their necks. They had to have Thespian members and administrators sign the plaques. Thespians is the honor society for theatre members. The purpose of Thespians is to sponsor events related to theatre, and to work toward the bet- terment of theatre. During the 1977-78 school year, Thespians sponsored the Fall Variety Show. I believe Thespians is an impor- tant organization in that it gives the theatre students a higher goal. Once this goal is achieved the theatre stu- dent knows he is a part of the elite, said Thespian president Kevin Bolin. The Thespian motto is 'Act well your part, there all the honor lies,' said Bolin. And that is the story of the double-casted Thespians and Rose Curtain performers. - By Stacy Elliott 7 fClubs And Organizations , as li ffm 3 ffl Rose Curtain had an early-year variety show along the Gong Show format.
