Students participate in classroom, groups Students in the Music Department participated in classroom studies as well as in many vocal and instrumental groups. A new course involving 25 students, the Electronic Music class utilized a new lab equipped with complex elec- tronic instruments. Another class examined music from the standpoint of an audience. These Audience classes viewed music as an art related to other cultural arts. The Music Theory class studied the detailed aspects of music, commented Mr. John Hill, instructor. They exam- ined the functions of voice and in- struments in musical compositions. Other students participated in the 10 musical groups. All performed at con- certs throughout the year. Practice, practice, and more practice— that ' s what the band has to do every day, with Mr. King ' s direction to keep up the image of the Marching Redskins. There is more to the NiSBOVA contest than just marching. Mr. Stubbfefiefd and Sophomore Anita Witherspoon demonstrate a must- neatness. Perfect alignment, which Majorette Joyce Carlson attempts, is also important. Finally, the judge makes his decision.

Typewriters and adding machines provided the necessary equipment for Mrs. WiJma Ashes Employment Preparation class. This one- semester course, offered to seniors only, did not provide employment; however, they did discuss important business issues, such as inter- views and grooming. Sophomores Cynthia Kennedy and Joy Olry utilize their advanced skills as they type. Continual practice is necessary as seniors Tina McNeely and Ann Oldham take dictation from a tape recorder in Advanced Shorthand. After these dictations, they typed their notes and received their grades.

Gathering around the piano with Vocal Director Hill provides an opportunity of which the Madrigals like to take advantage. Singing seems to be one o the things Soph- omore Patty Heath enjoys best in school. Putting enthusiasm into the directing means more output from the students. With a little help from Mr. Stubblefield, these vocal music students improve their voices with hopes of joining a more advanced group next year.
