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.

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.

Basic number skills develop math talent Nine courses and 656 students con- fronted the five teachers in the Math Department Advanced Math, a new course for students majoring in both science and math, taught the relationship between these two courses. Trigonometry classes taught by Mr. By Hey studied angle and arc measurements. Many college-bound persons took geometry and advanced Algebra courses, which provided the founda- tions for later studies. Meanwhile, oth- ers took fundamental courses in geom- etry and algebra, which taught students the principles of angles and calculation. The Survey of Math classes exam- ined advanced mathematics from an elementary standpoint, commented Mr. Robert Lovell, teacher. This class studied a wide variety of mathematic topics. Students who have not yet devel- oped basic skills took basic math. In this class taught by Mr. Randall Liechty, they learned about fractions, decimals, and other primary functions. Mr. Hey explains the purpose of circular functions to seniors Roy Serna and Mike Hutchison in Trigonometry, a course offered to all seniors who have completed Geometry and Advanced Aigebra. With the assistance of Mr. Donald Hunter, juniors John Lothamer and Don Gaskell complete a subtraction problem in basic math class. The volume of a cube is discussed between Mr. ohn Stauffer and seniors Pam Grider and Micheal McDonald in Fundamentals of Algebra.
