Bill King, a Dumas native and ex- citing bass drummer, died of a heart attack and subsequent stroke about four years ago. He was known by not only his fellow UAM band members, but also had a drumming expertise; playing behind his back, between his legs and manipulating the giant bass as if it were a toy, earned him con- siderable fame. “Everybody loved him - and every- one involved in band around the state tried to recruit him,” reflected Director Koskoski. ‘“‘He was the showpiece of the band while he was with us.”’ A service award also bears King’s name, and awards are also present- ed to the year’s best percussionist, and brass and woodwind players. If next year’s band meets up to Mr. Koskoskis expectations, there may be quite a bit of quality competition vying for these awards. Academics 161

Though far from underrated, the UAM choir, under the direc- © tion of John Dougherty has not | received the recognition due it on this campus. Dougherty described it as, ‘‘one of the best, if not the best,’’ of the nation’s small college choirs. The records uphold his statement as the choir has been invited to ap- pear at events from the east coast to the west. Marcia Lewis and Tim Stanley practice an encounter during rehearsal for the musical Carousel. Academics 163
