Dramatis Personae

October 19 was the date of the Thespian production of "Jane Eyre". Undoubtedly because everyone in the organization did their share towards making the play a success, it was just that. Christmas came and the hearts of the Thespians went out to hospitalized children in the Sister Kenny Institute. The group collected boxtops and sent close to twenty-five dolls to these tots. A new feature that Thespians took over this year was to have charge of the costume room. During their study halls, members had control of the key and they were consulted when admission was needed. The things mentioned are only a small part of Thespian activities during their successful year. "Act well your part, for there all the honor lies" is the motto of Washington High's Thespians. It is very true, for all of these amateur actors did just that during the year. However, the part they played was not only from the theatrical standpoint, for service is the keynote of this organization. Helping their adviser, Miss Hilda Shirley, during the year were the officers elected in the spring of 1954. They were; Shirley Rowland, president; Mary Jo Mraz, vice president; Joann Johnson, secretary; Wayne Dondelinger, treasurer; and Gloria Kukko, scribe. The organization also took over the Platter Patter Show on KLIZ during the year and very successfully, too. Jerry Jensen and Charles Lake were the first DJ's on the show.
