Modern Room Creates Feeling of Expression The art room was repainted and decorated in modern taste by several of these students. 5 Molding her bowl out of clay, Diane Dewees rises delicate touches to suit the design. I68-academics Advanced art students gave the art room a unique personality by painting walls, cabinets, and bulletin boards. First year teacher, Mrs. Melinda Douglas' creativity was featured in the Sunday paper during the course of the year. Painting, weaving rugs, knotting mac- rame, making candles and coll ges, and con- structing clay pottery sculpture nd leatherwork gave art students the opportunit to pursue sub- jects of their choice. Basic concepts of unity, rhythm, form, and color properties were studied. Senior Angela Tyring reads up on th latest creations in art for her next project. Painting her project made in art class, Sherry Boner con- centrates on the design.

BSU Spikers Demonstrate Championship Form Sophomore boys eagerly crowd to the gym door as they are dismissed to take their ice cold showers. Practicing some quick throwing techniques, Butch Black- mer practices for a baseball game. Correct procedures pertaining to volleyball were demonstrated to the physical education classes by Ball State University students. Be- sides volleyball, other projects included wres- tling and weight-lifting for the boys and folk dancing for the girls. Boys and girls alter- nated phys. ed. throughout the week with health classes. Peg boards, eight-foot basketball goals and scooter boards were made for the phys. ed. classes to use. Weight-lifting showed its results as the boys found it necessary to keep in shape for sports and their own physi- cal fitness. During gym class Bill Wehmier and Steve Rench pass on 'the word' about the p.e. teacher. With the help of a parachute, the girls in gym class found pleasure making designs. academics-167

Band, Choral Departments Make Much Music Marching down the streets of Muncie, the Golden Eagle Band proudly displays new uniforms. Becky Licht, the single bell ringer of the band, uses the bells to emphasize the soft side of arrangements. Extra-curricular activities were on the busy agenda for the 1970-71 Music Department. The Golden Eagle Marching Band under Mr. Jol- liffe performed for many a satisfied ear during the season. With initiative added to the band's morale by new uniforms, the 1970-7l edition of the band accomplished the tasks put before them. Not only did they perform at half-time shows but went to the Mermaid Festival in North Webster, Band Day at Indiana Univer- sity, State Contest at Ball State, Opening Day of McDonalds on McGalliard plus the Rock Festival and April Showers in the school gym. Mrs. Riggin's much talented choral students presented not only some one-night perform- ances but put extra hours into the spring mu- sical. Starting in early November, leads were cast for Music Man. Ending rehearsals, stu- dents presented 'life in River City' at Emens Auditorium. Selectones, Senior Girls, and Junior Girls performed throughout the year for civic organizations. The Robed Choir went to State Contest at BSU State and won a first place honor. They sang in churches and at Commencement. Senior members of the Robed Choir were picked to sing in the Youth Sym- phony Choir along with other area students at Emens. After weeks of preparation for the state contest at Ball State, Mr. Jolliffe presents the contest selections. Practicing for his salesman part in Music Man, Vic Osborn finds his rhythm as Rick Ellis calmly approves. academics- 169
