The practices lasted four hours every Tuesday and during this time, the students learned music and dance moves. the choreography was put together by former Chamber Singers, Mic Shackleford and Michelle Voss. It's always nice to come back and see the developing per- sonalities ofthe students l've worked with, stated Voss. The first major performance that the Chamber Singers and Hilltoppers put on was the annual Cabaret Night on October 22 through October 25. The theme of Cabaret Night was K'Life in the Big City. Many big town songs like New York City Rhythm, City Lights, and Putting on the Ritz were sung. lf Cabaret Night is indicative of things to come, then l've no doubt that this will be a show-stopping year, said chorus advisor Essie Fischer. The next major performance the Chamber singers and Hilltop- pers put on was the annual Christmas program. This show was performed with the accompaniment of the 'Thundering Herd' band.

lubfun s the second period bell rang, the USB room filled with students rushing to get to the I.O.C. meeting which was held once every month. I.O.C. was a meeting for all the club represen- tatives to get together and discuss what was going on in each organization. They planned food days, new ideas in clubs, and new clubs. They also discussed what was hap- pening in student government, and they voted on the way to pick candidates for the homecoming court. Basically, we talk about everything pertaining to the school, said I.O.C. representative Anita Paryani. Darren Johnson was the I.O.C. chairperson in charge of all the clubs on campus. After holding a meeting with the l.O.C representatives, Johnson discussed the events of the meeting with the executive board. One major idea that I.O.C. was responsible for was the new way to pick homecoming candidates. They decided that for the next year, each club would nominate one senior boy and girl and submit it to I.O.C. Then all the names would be put on a ballot and given to each second period class. The students would then choose one candidate and then the top six male and female candidates would go on the homecoming court. I.O.C. will definitely be strengthened because of the new homecoming nominating proposal, said senior Eugenie Hsu. I SWEAR I DIDN'T DO IT - says senior Benson Tang. Tang was also in Key Club.
