A Picnic by any other Name . . .

Sometimes a picnic is more than a picnic.


Your thespian/theatre picnic to be held on Monday is also the first Thespian Meeting of the year. There are a couple of things that have to happen at this first meeting as required by your newly ratified constitution. So if you are already a member of Thespian Troupe 5570 you should definitely attend. If you are not yet a member of the troupe you are more than welcome to attend, too, because all of our events are open to all interested students.



One of the most important things that will happen at Monday's Thespian Meeting is the election of class representatives. Your officers are already making plans for the year and need the help of four more students who want to be part of the planning and decision making process. It looks like one member of each class will be elected Monday evening to serve as a Class Representative for your Thespian Troupe.

The officers will hold a quick meeting Monday night to make some final decisions about process but it looks like the senior, junior, and sophomore Representatives will each need to be active Thespians in Troupe 5570 and that the freshman representative will not. This makes sense because no freshman will yet have earned points toward membership. This is all subject to oversight by your officers but whatever is to happen with Class Representatives will happen on Monday (or not at all) because that is how it is mandated in your newly ratified Thespian Constitution. If it doesn't happen then it won't happen at all.

So be prepared to nominate your colleagues for your Class Representative at Monday's Thespian Meeting. Nominations will be taken from the floor and I suppose that it is possible for a Thespian to nominate themselves. Voting will take place with seniors voting for their representative, juniors for juniors , and so on.
