Groi Singing Notes In Action For the first time, Elsik had a Christmas Faculty Choir. Also, Chorale students participated in the Fall play Grease. An outstanding choir student, George Harrison, was able to project his talent in order to achieve his goal in making All-State Choir. The contests entered included Solo and Ensemble, competing in UIL for concert and sight reading contests, and a trip to All-State in Ft. Worth. Solo and Ensemble achievements included thirty, 1st Division metals. There were about 131 students in choir this year to enjoy and share their musical talents, says choir sponsor, Mrs. Ness. Meetings before and after school allowed them to continue learning music and winning awards. Tcri Perez sings at the fall concert. Chorale - Front: Mrs. Ness, A. Kuo, C. Pappas, H. Aydelott, L.

Photo by R. 1 Antigone Wins Alternate to State Thirty Drama Club members started off with a new theatre arts teacher, Carolyn Boone. With her help and support, in November the Drama Club performed their winter play Grease, followed by a cast party at Sophomore Chris Lundquist's house. Grease was the kind of show people wanted to see, because it related directly to the audience, Chris Lundquist explains. Then they had another presentation in the spring, Antigone. Senior Brian Rives exclaims, Antigone brought us all closer together. Vice Pres- ident Susie Gatien said, I believe it has made everyone in the cast appreciate the moments of humanity. General after school meetings were held to discuss produ- ctions, upcoming events, and fund raising for scholarships and the banquet. Drama allows me to understand people and their emotions that I would not otherwise be able to relate to, revealed Junior Chris Everett. With lots of hard work drama students went on to regionals in the One-Act Play contest at San Jacinto Junior College for U.I.L. competition. Their efforts were rewarded by winning fourth place, alternate to state. Five thespians were honored by lettering in drama also.
