Groups Seek Perfection, Showmanship Shortridge students are offered many different choices in which to express their musical talents and interests. The orchestra, directed by John Medjeski, spends long, hard hours devoted to the learning of music such as The Messiah. The band, directed by Leonard Behling, performed at such functions as the Sweatermen ' s concert and Junior Vaudeville. Music Men, twenty-seven male voices, instills rhythm in the spectators. As the counterpart to Music Men, Girls ' Ensemble adds to the audi- ence ' s enioyment by presenting a choreography reflecting the moods of the song.

Art Students ' Creativeness Challenged The Art Department strives to ex- tend a student ' s perception of art, to increase his art vocabulary, to de- velop his artistic abilities, and to awaken his creativity and originality. Courses in art, craft arts, and com- mercial art, as v» ell as art apprecia- tion for seniors are available. Putting their talents to practical work as they learn, art students produce articles ranging from back drops to posters for the Family Frolic. Many school publications also benefit; art stu- dents design covers for the Christmas Echo and for the Junior Vaudeville Program. Competition with students of other schools as well as that between Shortridge students is encouraged. PAT FORD STRIKES a pose for sketching art students. MRS.
