geek In Nets S1000 Senate launches new projects Two new projects were sponsored by the Student Senate, a Lock-in project to raise money for the March of Dimes and a canned goods Christmas drive. Even though the canned goods plan flopped, it might work out next year, when people know more about lt, said president Shelley Bardole. Not so, the Lock-in, we raised S1000.00. said secretary Lisa Gibb, The March of Dimes was very pleased with the school's response. There were a series of debates between some students who wanted more action , in the Senate and the organization. Petitions for a mid-term election were issued, but a negative majority in the vote turned the idea down. ln response to criticism from members of the student body, various senators cited general apathy from the school at large. The Senate organized a number of dances: Homecoming, Christmas, and the Sadie Hawkins dance. Other officers included Lisa King, vice-president, and Tom Hefner, treasurer. 1 Senate officers Lisa King and Shelley Bardole call for a vote on the issue of the can goods drive.2 Student Senate: FRONT ROW-D.

'Unity through music,' director summarizes Mrs. Jean Jamison, new vocal director, lead three vocal groups at the high school. The 45- member Mixed Chorus met seventh hour. They made their debut with a Christmas Concert December 14. Featured soloists were Maura McNally, Lisa Dennard, Kelley Dixon, Dean Betz, and Mary Mellerup. Other performances included the Community Concert, the Spring Concert, Baccalaureate, and Commencement. The group performed in a variety of vocal styles and Mrs. Jamison summarized, 'We have grown in unity through the common bond of music.' Over spring break the chorus travelled with the band to Orlando, Florida where they sang at Sea World. Many social activities, field trips and money raising projects highlighted the year. At a potluck May 14 chorus awards were presented. The Girls Next Door was a small swing choir using 16 girls from Mixed Chorus singing barbershop pop style music with their own choreography. The group entertained at several community functions and were part of high school music programs. Darlene Gubuan was the accompanist. Vocal jazz, a new trend in music, inspired the formation of the Vocal Jazz Ensemble. The 10-member group performed Christmas in 5!4 in an old-fashioned home scene at the Christmas Concert. Specializing in popular standards arranged in a contemporary jazz style, the group swung out at Jazz Sounds Vll, the Spring Concert, and a music assembly. - s wif 4 P .J f, 7 Special Groups ' 69
