We don't have all seniors wear honors at graduation, just ones who earn 30 points or more, which could be done in less than four years. If they are thespians, they are thespians for life, correct? It seems to me that is they chose other activities during their senior year, and were not inactive due to disciplinary reasons, they are entitled to whatever they earned during their involvement. I think we should encourage openness and discourage cliques. Plus, if I earn a varsity sports letter junior year, and then don't play my senior year because i joined the play, coaches don't ask for the letter back. I earned it. Rejoice with them, slay the fatted calf, and reminisce about how much fun you had together.

Subject: Inactive seniors wanting graduation cords
Greetings,
I have three seniors who have not been in any of our performances, nor assisted backstage, nor attended or participated in our festivals during their entire senior year who are now asking for Thespian honor cords to wear for graduation. My first response is to deny this request due to their inactivity. What say you?
