• The 1950's

    Theatre at Columbus High School was alive an well in the 1950's.  Mildred A. Murray led the Thespians, and other interested theatre kids in as many a four different productions a year.  Membership in the Thespian Society grew at such a dramatic rate during this decade that it couldn't be repeated for another forty years.  Unfortunately, few accurate records of the shows themselves remain of that time period.  Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.
