    A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION honoring twenty-four Clay High School students for capturing first place at the 2008 Indiana State Thespian Competition.

    Whereas, twenty-four students from Clay High School spent months arduously preparing a performance of "The Diviners," by Jim Leonard Jr., a drama that depicts a small Indiana town named Zion, its charismatic preacher and a misunderstood boy who has the gift of divining;

    Whereas, the students' talent and focus enhanced their performance, which led them to a Northern Indiana Thespian Regional title on January 19, 2008 in Warsaw;

    Whereas, the students' dedication to perfection kept them focused on and connected to their characters. Their performances captivated audiences transporting them from the theater seats to Zion, Indiana, a true indicator of a great ensemble cast;

    Whereas, two months later on March 15, the cast of twenty-four Clay High School students captured top honors at the 2008 Indiana State Thespian Competition, held in the Ransburg Auditorium in Indianapolis; and

    



    Whereas, the actors and actresses received second place in national competition, and several of the students participated in various individual state events: Therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate     of the General Assembly

of the State of Indiana, the House of Representatives     concurring:

                    
    SECTION 1. That the Indiana General Assembly congratulates the Clay High School students for their outstanding achievements in drama and for capturing first place at the Indiana State Thespian Competition.

    SECTION 2.The Secretary of the Senate is hereby directed to transmit a copy of this Resolution to Superintendent James M. Kapsa, Clay High School Principal Dr. Ruth Warren, and Director of Theater Eleni Tirikos.
