Thespian, an old dramatic organiza- tion on the campus, carried out an en-- ioyable year under the guidance of its new advisor, Mrs. Henrietta Enger. She assisted the following officers in leading the organization: president, William Ug- low, vice-president, Betty Hanley, secre- tary, Ethel Drews, treasurer, Audrey Benfer, and Royal Purple reporter, John Knutson. Meetings were held every first and third Wednesday in the Dramatic Work- shop. During the second semester, a study of a current play took place after each business meeting. In December, a Christmas party was held. The evening began with the group playing games and then attend- ing the all-school Christmas program. Following this, refreshments were served. Students earn membership in Thes- pian by working four hours typing play parts, taking part in a play, or by do- ing something similar. In the middle of February, fourteen new members were initiated into Thespian. .lane Edwards was in charge ofthe initiation which was in the form of a quiz program. A serious skit, The Unknown Soldier , with a cast consisting of William Uglow, Irene Tischer, and Dick Noble, was Thes- pian's Stunt Night presentation. On March 17, the organization sponsored a carnival in which the various school or- ganizations took part by having a booth of some kind.
