To become a member, one must maintain a number of points, must be committed to drama and have ability, according to Kay Freyer, sponsor. One can earn points by attending Thespian meetings, going to contests or helping out in the annual fund-raiser. Being a Thespian is very fun, said Arlene Moyer, senior. I really like the in- itiations, she added. The group won third place sweepstakes at the Victoria High Speech Tournament and at the Robstown Speech Tournament. They spon- sored a junior high speech fest in December and presented a talent show, Winter in Raiderland, in January. I like competing the best, said Chris Filla. really feel like I am something more than just a member, he added.

I am a four year drama student and a three year Thespian. I have found Thespians to be very rewarding, fun and challenging. I enjoy acting; however, one cannot gain points for Thespians on acting alone. One must also gain points in the areas of pro- duction and or business. Thespians is very challenging. One does not only compete against students from other schoola, but from his school. One is continusouly competing for the most parts in plays, and the most points. I would recommend drama for anyone who is looking for fun and challenging moments in their lifetime. Arlene Moyer Thespian Apprentices: Sitting, Beth Heinoid, Julie Lack, Melody Rivera.
