Get involved in JILLS Andover ' s honor vocal ensemble, the Jills, under the direc- tion of Mr. Bruce Snyder, began its 32nd year with a sensation- al start by singing the National Anthem at Cobo Hall for President Reagan. These ten juniors and seniors auditioned among many others for the honorable title of a Jill last spring. They were selected for performances on music theory, sight reading, bell ringing, blend and voice. Character, responsibil- ity, and personality were other important aspects in choosing the ladies. They performed in places ranging from hospitals to international conventions entertaining crowds of 25 to 1400 people. Organized in 1955, this tradition of excellence still continues today. It is a privilege and great honor to be a Jill of Andover High School, and Andover wishes them nothing but the best in their musical careers. First Row: K. Yoo, S. Resnick. Second Row: V. Siorm, W. Rhein, N. Bucher, I. Sherman. Third Row: C. Weiss, S. McLean, B. Allen, T. Walsh.

Get involved in Chamber Singers Mr. Bruce Snyder directed the Chamber Singers select ensemble, and changed 20 Andover juniors and seniors from ordinary musically talented stu- dents to professionals. The male and female singers sang everything from pieces of music dating back from the I600 ' s to current music written today. They averaged about fifty concerts this year per- forming at schools, churches, and festivals. With the ladies ' beautiful red dresses and the men ' s hand- some tuxedos, the Chamber Singers ' appearance dazzled its audiences just as much as their voices did. Congratulations Chamber Singers on your jobs well done! First Row J. Pipple. K. Duda, H. Hill, E. Leung, M. Frank. T. George, A. Carnes. G. Chung, J. Purtan. Second Row M. Bal- dwin. J. Scizino, K.
