I AM WOMAN Words by HELEN REDDY An. by Jerry Nowak Mediut Soprano I Soprano II Tradition plays an important role in the organization of Girls ' Chorus Pro- spective members are discussed and elected the summer before fall prac- tice begins. Members are selected on the basic of singing ability and charac- ter. Officers are elected in May and announced at the annual banquet, held this year at Steak ' n Ale in Bir- mingham. The Fall Fest Concert held at the First Baptist Church had a special meaning for each Girls ' Chorus mem- ber as they sang the ' Alma Mata. ' With only a few weeks to practice for the Christmas Concert, chorus mem- bers began practicing two nights a week. The Christmas spirit filled Lester Memorial Methodist Church as senior chorus members walked down the aisles with candles while the rest of the chorus sang ' Silent Night, ' I Am Woman ' was an appropriate theme for the spring concert. In follow- ing through with tradition senior cho- rus members were each presented with one rose. The chorus performed some music from this last concert for their sponsor the Amicus Club and a school concert.

New musical ensemble formed, ENCORE The Oneonta High School Encore was a group of students who loved music enough to have their schedules changed at the beginning of the year so the group could meet one period a day. Mrs. Bill Burdette was the founder and director of this group which contained the most tal- ented students in school. Encore had the honor of singing before the Governor of Alabama, the Lion ' s Club, the Valentine banquet, local churches, school assemblies, as well as many other school functions. They were the core cast for Showboat and South Pacific, two broadway musicals presented to the school.
