To Blog or Not to Blog
That is the question.
In the Spring of 1929, an idea began to sprout between the meetup of three educators: Dr. Paul Opp of Fairmont State College, Harry Leeper of East Fairmont High School, and Opp’s Secretary Ernest Bavely of creating a special organization of high school thespian students who have excelled both on and off the stage, creating a special honor society for those special students so they may express all their achievements. They began writing the criteria for those who may enter (mainly students that perform good work for their school’s theatre program), a constitution of how meetings should be ran and the rules behind being a member, and a basic form of how the induction should be ran. After creating everything that was need, thespian troupe one was formed at the Natrona County High School in Casper, Wyoming, ran by Dr. Earl Blank, who helped give Dr. Paul Opp the idea of the thespian honor society. By the summer of that same year, seventy-one troupes had already formed in twenty-six different states, broadcasting the success of this program to the many other schools in the nations. Ever since that year, the thespian honor society has continued to grow, even to the point that it runs its own magazine called Dramatics, which we ourselves usually get in the mail every month. The success of this organization took world by surprise, paving the way for a better understanding of what it takes to stand as a role model in the thespian world.
