The Chamber Singers are a talented bunch of kids. Ron Rockow is their con- ductor but he does a lot more than conduct. He cho- reographs their steps and motions and gives up a lot of his outside time to this group. The Chamber Singers are Concert Choir members and had to try out to get Hin . They are a very close group and enjoy singing at busi- ness luncheons and concerts. BACK: Terri Thompson, Mike Ash, Dave Fey. Althea Wiskow. Cindy Petzold. Lowell Inhorn, Nadine Graven.

.I.L.E. Language: Spanish Memorial's interim pro- gram, M.I.L.E., is one which was conceived last year. The successful programs at other Madison schools prompted the P 8a P council to initiate a simi- lar program. A student com- mittee was established to plan and direct the interim pro- gram. Interim did not become reality this year, but the many hours of hard work invested in the project are not in vain. Al- ready work has begun on form- ing a committee for next year and the prospects look promising. TOP: L. TO R.: Pat Mulcahy, Mike Weiss, Mrs. Swanson, Mr. Hubble Richard Hippe. BOTTOM: Mary Gil bert, Anne Marie Dezonia, Randy Stark, Ira Musin. Spanish Club is for lan- guage lovers.

The chairman was Clare Zaiman and the co- chairman was Marie Roeber. BACK: Sue Ritter, Valerie Naugh- ton, Cheryl Haas, Laura Krum. MIDDLE: Cathy Hadley, Marie Roeber, Clare Zaimen, Cathy Gojmerack.

Jazz Ensemble K5 - - I - Marching and This year the Jazz Ensemble met for three days a week as V2 credit class. They took trips to Eau Claire and Whitewater. Their favorites ranged from Fortune of Fools to Coun- try Roads . In Laurie Eaton's opinion, This is the best musi- cal group and the most fun. I'm really going to miss this group and especially I'll miss my French horn. That seems to sum up the feeling when someone learns to play an in- strument, especially in ajazz style. the instrument becomes a real part ofyou. TOP TO BOTTOM, L. TO R.. BACK ROW: John Galligan.
