Mrs. Sharon Darland, directs the choir here at Poudre. She teaches five classes plus one after school jazz group. Mrs. Darland has been teach- ing for 13 years and really enjoys Poudre. She is enjoying her newest group, the Impressions. They're a mixed jazz group, and they are doing a good job. She is also excited about the lmpalaphonics this year, especial- ly with three All-State qualifiers: Tom Lawrie, Melanie Manning, and Merideth Prill - all earned high scores in competition. Mrs. Darland teaches her classes for improvement with the intent of ad- vancement within the choirs, and all through their school careers. All the groups are doing well, and l'm really enjoying the year. Mr. Larry Lashley is the orchestra di- rector here at PHS. He is now in his eighteenth year of teaching and is en- joying his time here. He is currently trying to schedule a chamber orches- tra for selected orchestra members. Mr. Lashley commented that This year's orchestra group is doing very well. They are mature individuals concerned with their music and their group effort. Within the music groups there are several contests, the major contest for orchestra is in the spring. Mr. Lashley finds that he teaches on many differ- ent levels of musical interest and tal- ent. What is his favorite part of teach- ing? The students from my classes who find real enjoyment, and satis- faction from what music offers them. I think that music offers so much to our society that it's a pleasure to see and become a part of people who want to be involved in it.

Business V1.2 Q L 3- If MRS. DEBBIE BERCHOLZ, MRS. IENI FORBES, MRS. KATHY HANSON, MRS. JO KUHN, MR. MICHAEL MCNANEY, MR. GARY ROBERSON, MRS. BARBARA SOMMERMEYER, AND MR. RANDY YAUSSI. Business Crack-Ups! Business Blunders? What can possibly happen in the business department? Mr Gary Roberson points to the problem she's 2 million in the red! Lots of things have happened in the business department! Hilarious, wild and funny things! They are not all blunders, but here are a few: On a cold day in November, the yearbook staff was working early in the morn- ing and Mr. Jerry Hubka tried to get into the computer lab. Well, he suc- ceeded in turning on the alarm!! Year- book students ran everywhere declar- ing they would be sent to jail. No, really, it wasn't that bad, but it was a Business Crack-Up! Among some of the other things, there has always been some of the fun and hard times that the DECA gang has gone through. One of DECA's best fundraisers, selling fruitbaskets, is one major crack-up! The pandi- monium created by having so much fun, by standing knee-deep in fruit, having so many people to talk to, is one big good time! Another fun occasion in the Business Department is getting to plan things. The Deca gang wants to plan a ski trip with Rocky Mountain to go to Beaver Meadows and Mr. Yaussi has been a great help in planning for this. Other fun things the Business Department has helped do is the fun fashion show towards the end of the school year. Among good looking models and high fashion clothes, there was a big tv, strobe lights, rain lights, videos syn- chronized with the models walking, and many other things. Business Crackups! What fun!
