Whitaker, Schulte, Back in 302 after spending a year in Room 248, the A Cappella Choir welcomed Mr. John Long as its new director. The Choir stopped practicing North Central and Christmas Vespers music to appear with the band at homecoming half-time festivities. Adopting the style of the Swingle Singers who perform Bach vocally with jazz accompaniment, the Choir presented Bouree for Bach at the PTA Founders Day program. Thirty members of the 87 member choir were chosen for the Chamber Singers, who sang at community functions. In the spring the group sang anthems at the Pre-Easter service and joined with the band and orchestra for the traditional Battle Hymn of the Republic at the May Festival. One of the numbers the choir en- joyed was How Excellent Thy Name by Howard Hanson. Apprentice members were required to audition and to pass an exam on musical terms before being inducted into Music Honor Society. In its 15th year the Society presented the Stagefright Concert and traveled to Chicago to see Hello Dolly. 40

Some- times the directors coped with students who made a left flank instead of a right. Mr. Walter Bowers was assisted in directing the 102 membe r band by Mr. Robert Needham, former teacher at Emmons School. Mrs. Wava Shaffer worked out routines for the pompon girls and baton twirlers. Later in the fall Concert Band rehearsal began. Melodies from Bach to Sousa became more polished each day in preparation for the three concerts that the band gave during the year. A 21 member Pep Band provided music for pep sessions and during half time at home basketball games. After winning regional contests, five bandsmen went to Indianapolis for the state music contest, and all received superior ratings.
