Pins were awarded to seniors at graduation. As a club, the Thespians performed in a spring program. They also took part in the various productions of the ad- vanced drama classes. Guest speakers were invited to the meetings, and mem- bers traveled to other high schools to view their drama productions. Mr. Burgess was the advisor for the National Thespian Society.

They were selected on the basis of their ability to improvise to a piece of music and on their choreographic talent.

Using body movement in an artistic way to communicate an idea or to achieve an effect was the essence of modern dance. Hours of practice were required to develop the grace and rhythm necessary for the Caprician. On November 19 the Capricians at- tended classes on modern dance at Tempe. flame.,-1. , NE... .
