Frances Gregory, Carol DeMoss, Sharon Lamb, and Susan Basham work on develop ing their own routine in modern dance class. Dancers Seek Originality Self-expression is one of the chief aims of modern dance, taught by Mrs. Adele Firkins three periods each term. Students are encouraged to use musical feelings to help express their own personalities. Participation in the Sports Follies is a requirement for rhythm students. Miss Judy Roberson ' s first and sixth period rhythm classes spend the greater part of the first semester in preparation for the Follies. During the spring term, students work on inventing their own dances. Joan Blaine and Kathy Hoffman try out a new rhythm routine. Modern dancers perform a dance of angles. Linda Sikes, Kathy Hoffman, Cindy Richey, and Lena Lipschitz lead their sixth period rhythm class in a dance practice. 191
