Local 603 Thespian, the National Dramatic Honor Society, student-sponsors the other school dramatic organizations. With Mr. Mar- antz's help, members are not only Hguid- ing lights in the helds ot acting and producing, but encouragements to the dramatically minded to earn a place in Thespian. Since this society is non-secret and non-social, it is personal merit that determines membership. THESPlAN First Row flelt to right: N. Mactarlane, S, Hewitt, S. Paxton, J. Gates, Mr. Marantz.

The first show of the year had for its theme what the classes in Simpson High School would be like torty years from now. Remember the reducing class and the class on howto snag a man? The Christmas show was equally successful. Who will ever forget Artie Manaro's imitation? This organization was the first to participate in the exchange assem- blies. They traveled to South Huntington to put on a show.
