'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

F I-IA members provide local aid Future Homemakers of America IFHAI has more to offer than homemaking skills. FHA gives many opportunities, it provides leadership skills, and helps in personal growth,'I said Sharon Jackson, chapter president. FHA participated in many activities in- cluding working with the Round Rock Police Department on the Ident-a-Child program. They attended the national cluster meeting in Dallas, and they also contributed to Cystic Fibrosis. One of the local officers, Becky Rhoades was elected Area VII recording secretary. She will be keeping notes and minutes at all area FHA meetings. Becky says she feels great about being elected, I was really glad. I think it will help me learn more about FHA and also let me meet many new friends. FHA decided to make the banquet at the end of the year a very special event. It was a reunion for all the old and new members. They were honored by having the National FHA President Teresa Montz at their banquet. Memories of times gone by were shared by old and new members. It gave past members and teachers a chance to get together and also to see what the chapter is like now and what we are doing, said Jackson. :wr ,A s ir' A A jk, ,:,,,ny- M,,f ,k ,,I327 ,,, f .V The Annual FHA Banquet was used as a reunion for old and new members.
