Speak Uut X UI like McClellan's choir program. Most schools don't have big choir programs, and they don't know what they are missing. It's where the fun and talent really is.

W I uln the light of having a now director, the year has undoubtedly been an experience we will nev- er forget, In the process of the change, some of the basic traditions have been altered slightly to ac- commodate the changing opinions and desires of new choir members. Times change, and the op- K portunity this year to have a voice in planning the E year is a great benefit to the choir department. Stephan Buck 'tlt was time for a change. If we hadnlt, it wouldn't have been as much of a challenge to us - as it has been. Everyone took it for granted that we were good when DeArmond was here, now we are proving ourselves again with Mr. Murrayf, Kathy Gallagher I Boy's Chorus: Front Row: K. Stalmakerg C. Miller, R.

Another School Holida I Choir Trips Interfere With School What was the next closest thing to a school holiday? More than likely a day when the choir was on a trip. Since choir included some 300 students, its not surprising that when they were gone their presence was missed. Choir was excused from school a total of 10 days all year, which was more than any other club on campus. Days that the choir was gone were often confused and different, and stu- dents could be heard around campus saying that its going to be one of those days. Teachers were known to rear- range test schedules in their classes which sometimes was more than half the class. But all of the inconveniences and sac- rifices were worth it when Highlander would come home with the superior rat- ings for which McClellan was tradition- ally known. Their excellence was rea- son enough to be proud. And as long as there were days when 2051 of the school was gone, there will be the same tradi- tion of excellence. Act1v1t1esf47
