Tooting the Arts The boundaries of creativity were pushed beyond the limits over and over during the year. Music was explored on all levels. The band combined the traditional with the original and flavored their music with a sound all its own. Hard work and late practices paid off for the march- ing band when it received a perfect score of one at the McChessney Band Competition at Big Stone Gap. Art students froze those images created from the imagination paintings, sketching, and clay sculptings by mixing a harmony of lines, color, and designs. The choir classes worked for hours to produce a sound that blended into one voice. Days of practice by the students paid off when they presented their annual Christmas and Spring concerts. The three departments produced the wild west musical “Tumbleweeds.” The creative imagination and dedication involved was emitted by the huge success of the production. © te, By Krystal Williams 18 ACADEMICS We did it! ...Mr. Mike Brown, sion one awards received at the Eric Hodges, Chamene Robinson, McChessney Band Competition. and Danita Kiser show their divi- This is a perfect score. oe ET

The place to be § The library provided a quiet haven for all those seeking a place to study and acquire extra knowl- edge. Often times one would see several students seated with mounds of books and other material spread before them while working feverishly to com- plete their work. It was times like this when the students appreciated the help of librarians, aids, and the vast resources which the library had to offer. Many times the students would congregate in the li- brary to see their friends. 20 ACADEMICS The guidance office also served the students as a place to go to talk to coun- selors and to be advised and informed of their cred- it requirements and college options. Both the library and the guidance office were always filled with students because that was the place to be for no mat- ter what the reason. By Krystal Williams Final check ...
