Speech students enter competition This marked the seventeenth year that speech students advanced past the district level in interpretive reading, debate, or ex- temporaneous speaking. The club participated in six local speech tournaments and two overnight contests. In UIL competition, Thanh Van received the alternate position to the regional contest in informative speaking. Sponsor Marcia Hilsabeck said that few people entered the UIL meet because ii: was held during Spring Break. The club members also continued to make the morning announcements. This year the announcements continued as a club activity. We are in the process of identifying a rotating format so that they serve the intend- ed purpose, which is to informf' said Hilsabeck.

'A club's unity keeps it going' A clubls unity keeps it going, and that describes the Thespian Club and its members. The 26-member Thespian Club kept very busy all year, keeping involved in numerous events. The first activity was the Halloween Haunted House sponsored by the Heart of Round Rock Association to raise money for the band. Other activities included publicity for all drama productions, the printing of posters and tickets, ticket sales and refreshments served at the shows. The club was open to everyone in drama classes, and it helped everyone who was not in a certain play to still be able to be a part of it in some way. Everyone's cooperation in a play is needed whether they are in the show or not, stated Thespian President David Schneider, senior. The club gave the drama students the responsibility of making sure everything was done for a play. Their one act play, Twelfth Night, went to district and area competition. Club members made props and helped sponsors Ford Ainsworth and Marcia Hilsabeck with the making of the costumes. The club has continually grown as the drama class has grown. I feel the club is good in that, it allows the members in drama to become closer. This closeness makes it easier for us to work together, concluded Schneider. Donna McMasters, senior, adds the finishing touches to a costume for the UlL contest play Twelfth Night. Members of Thespians must often sacrifice free time to prepare costumes. Organizations 115
