The I984-85 Thespians was one of the largest PV has ever seen. Besides being at its largest, it was also the busiest. Besides keeping busy with bagel sales and work- shops, the Thespians found time to present two plays. The first of the two plays was Plays ofour Lives in the fall. ln this, one could see how a person goes from infancy to adulthood. The second play produced by the Thespians was Our Town, which was viewed in the spring. The drama club this year was very large and really one of the best we have had, said Mrs. Mary lrvin, sponsor of the Thespians. lt's been a great year! A speech and drama club on campus allows for a touch of cre- ativity in the students' academic pursuit, replied Miss Penny Scott, sponsor of this year's Trojan Speakers. A touch of creativity was allot- ted many times throughout the year due to the fact that the club participated in several competi- tions throughout the year. At many of these competitions, the club re- ceived many honors. With these honors came the hand work and much effort that it requires to achieve such excellen- cy.
