Y fo ff it if .. 7 gil l32 Behind the scenes in the Wasson Drama Department, there exists a group of drama enthusiasts known as the Thespians and Footlighters. Through their efforts, thc lighting, costuming, and the scenery of all the major plays were produced. In the fall, the group chartered a bus to Denver to see the movie, Cleopatra, and a few of the members trav- eled to the Colorado Speech League convention in Boulder. They also participated in the Homecoming Carnival with an Oriental skit. The Thespian play, f'Time Out For Ginger, which many of the Thespians and Footlighters acted in or helped to produce, was presented to the student body in October. Besides producing the Thespian, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior plays, and the Christmas program, the Drama Club showed popular movies periodically throughout the year. Before would-be Footlighters were initiated, they had to earn five points, and the Thespians had to earn fifteen points. A point was earned with every seven and one half hours of backstage work. Drama coach, Mr. Homer Paris, directed the officers who were: president, Vickie Richards, vice-president, Liz Hull, secretary, Lee Chapmang treasurer, Donna Loftusg I.C.C. representative, Loren Grace, and recorder, Donna Sullivan.

BACK Literary Guild l-las Banner Book Store Sales in l96ll Wasson students had access to a vast selection of pocket books, note cards for Forum and speech needs, scratch pads and other study helps through the facility of the Book Store, which was managed by the Literary Guild. Teachers often referred students to the Book Store for materials to supplement text books. Because of the split shift schedule, the Literary Guild operated during the noon hours on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Although members were required to maintain a B-3 average, the experience of managing a business made the extra effort worthwhile. Officers this year, led by sponsor, Mr. Ralph Connor, were Ralph Crum, president-manager, Phil Fites, assistant manager, Serene Andriesse, secretary-treasurer. ROW: Mr. Conner, Michael Hassett, Margie Dolph, Jeanne Haug, Mona Baum gartel, James Bailey George Gehrung, David Saurer. 1
