It was also a year of many innovations and dissen- sions from the regular scheduled events. The senior play, of which a large pa1't of the cast was composed of Thespian members, was given in December. The Thespian members made sets, helped in the costuming, and applied makeup. On VVashington's birthday, Thespians pre- sented a patriotic skit to show how money was raised for the wars in which this country has en- gaged. For the bomber show, Thespian members wrote, directed and acted in a show entitled, A Dollar Bill Talks . These were merely preliminary to the principle activity, the Thespian plays. ln former years, one long play had been given, but this year plans were made to produce four short plays, Sham , Submerged , Tobacco Alleyn, and The Booru. These plays were to be presented at South and at other schools. Thespians pins were also purchased in the second semester to identify members. Odicers for the year were Jack Zuiderveld, presidentg Shirley Peterson, vice-president: Doris Diedrich, secretary: Joyce Edson, treasurer: and Bliss La Barge, adviser. Gerry Lovell acted as secretary during the second semester. -1-s-fuse-an-4n:.:.:-xmas.,1.,,,.aaLmnms.nsuai..,.:-.A we-1 emu ia-.-neealxr-i .rf-msn.

Because this group contained a large majority of seniors, the club decided as its ob- jective to help the senior class and South High school in any activity which they might attempt. At the meetings, which were held during the first and third weeks of the activity period, trick decisions of law were discussed. versions were given on difficult case problems, and any subjects which had remained unsettled in class were ex- plained by hir. Fisher. Rloney for the treasury was earned by several successful sales after school. The rise in membership this year was ac- counted for by the increasing popularity of com- mercial law as a class, and by the increasing de- mand on the public to understand the elements of contracts, and relationship of partners, the liability of sellers, and the essentials of negotiable instruments. Despite the large size of the club, it was Cap- ably led by Jack Baughman, president, and Bud Laramy, vice-president. Pat Bell acted as secre- tary-treasurer the first semester and Juanita lacovoni, the second semester.
