PS ksho WOI' and 20 Director Jack Redus shows stu- dents the importance of marking time correctly. Contrary to popular belief, the school is not vaccated during the summer break. Several students, taking extracurricular classes, found that working during the summer was not uncom- mon. ln fact, the school was a busy place last summer. Students involved in foot- ball, yearbook journalism, and band were all required to devote some of their lei- sure time. In some cases, summer practice called for a group to go to conventions or workshops. Seventeen members of the yearbook journalism class attended a four day workshop in Nor- man, Oklahoma. There they learned new techniques for producing a better year- book. Members of the band front also attended work- shops at various universi- ties. The flag corps went to E Q? ww? Kass Blazettes Toui Phosay, Karen Hood, and Johnna Hanna do stretching exercises before going to work with the band. Workshops break daze East Texas State University Band Camp. Along with majorettes, drum majors, and other flag corps, they attended classes taught by well-trained members of the college's own flag corps. The newly formed Rifle corps had summer classes conducted at the school. They were taught basic techniques and fundamen- tals of twirling a rifle. The instructors came from a local college to help organ- ize the new group. Organi- zations who were also prac-, ticing at the school were the Varsity and JV football teams, the marching band and the Blazettes. Director, Jack Redus, conducted marching classes every weekday morning. Freshman band- members were called one week earlier than the upper classmen. They learned th fundamentals of marchin and were given music to work on. Two weeks before school began, the full band met for the first rehearsal. They worked on show material with the drill team and vari- ous corps. The Blazette cap- tains had just returned from a weekend workshop at East Texas. While there they learned new routines tol popular music. The captain brought these new step back to teach them to th entire team. Because o these dedicated students, the school's added pro- grams offered a special attraction for all.
