We i get st 4 . .4-4 'ak ffm: f'9 Q s 'f Y Q -fa ? lash One certain group of individuals devoted a large portion of their en- ergy to a common love - music. lnfrequently recognized for their efforts, these students continued to strive for musical excellence. Seniors .lack Flannery, John Olive, Debbie Hanvey, and Amy Cato at- tended the l3th Annual Quad-State Chorus early in the year, along with the members of seventy-two other choruses. Also making the journey to Murray, Kentucky, were Miss Lisa Reynolds and the chorus of- ficers. Several afternoons a week music lovers met with Miss Reynolds and practiced various pieces. Known as the Chorale, the group enjoyed the opportunity to vocally express themselves in an unstructured ses- sion. The first of December brought All-State try-outs. Students from all over Davidson county competed at Maplewood High School for spots in the All-State Chorus. Over forty Lipscomb vocalists suffered through butterflies and sore throats for a chance to participate in the event.

Nr Mastering a language is a difficult task for most students. Language clubs were organized this year to increase students' know- ledge of the language and its back- ground and to bring together all of those who are interested in the lan- guage. Mrs. .lane Williams is the sponsor of the French Club, which has a total membership of ten. The Spanish Club, which is the most active language club, is spon- sored by Mrs. Janet Angelopolous. ln the high school, possibly the most popular club is the Latin Club. with co-sponsors Sharon Tracey and Elaine McBroom in charge. This club joins both present Latin stu- dents and those Juniors and Seniors who took Latin earlier under Mrs. Doran. 22fclubs

People were sprinkled sparsely throughout Acuff Chapel awaiting the debut of the l977- 78 David Lipscomb High School Chorus. From the back of the chapel the first sounds of the hymn 'All Hail the Power were heard. Soon the chapel echoed with the strains of the impressive hymn as the chorus members passed down the aisles and took their places on the risers. For the next half hour the au- dience composed of parents and friends sat enthralled as the chorus rolled through various numbers ending with the traditional Sweet Spirit. After beginning their year with a well-received performance at Open House, the Chorus was in strong de- mand for performances at various con- gregations. They also presented spe- cial performances at Christmas, the Music and Arts Festival, and the tradi- tional Spring Concert. Additionally, the Chorus was honored with an invi- tation to sing at a festival in Ft. Worth, Texas. The trip proved to be a high- light of the year. Director, Lisa Reynolds, through sharing her musical talents and capa- ble leadership, molded this year's chorus into one of the most memorable ever. New risers and peach-colored at- tire added extra polish to the chorus. Besides singing, the chorus also had several parties planned by president Wade Denny and secretary Martha Nance. Contributing to the closeness of the chorus members was a shambat- tle at Paul Netterville's home and a breakfast before an early morning re- hearsal. A love of music, hard work and dedi- cation made this chorus outstanding and one that represented Lipscomb well. 24X clubs
