We Believe in Music Is there someone in your class who's always humming a tune? Chances are it's a member of Concert Choir. To be accepted into choir, you are tested in sight singing, rhythm clapping, and pitch distinction. This year we were host to the Suburban Eight Concert which included the choirs, bands, and orchestras of the eight league schools. The fun side of choir is apparent whenever Kangaroo Kourt is in session. If charged of a crime, you have a chance to prove your innocence with the help of a very qualified(?) lawyer. Penalties range anywhere from singing with a peanut butter sandwich in your mouth to pushing an M M across the floor with your nose. Above: Sophomore, Mike Korbon, portraying a very unlikely role.

We’re an American Band This years Marching Band, under the direction of Jack Kopnick, has proved itself for another season. The Band provided spectators with half-time entertainment at every home game. Along with this, they led the Homecoming Parade. And, for the first time participated in building a float, which took first prize for the best club float, sponsored by the Kiwinis. Along with their daily rehearsals, and weekly night rehearsals, the Band also attended Camp Mahon-Go-Tah-See for one week during the summer. Here they were taught how to march, and the routine for the first show. Every day they were up at 7:00 a.m., and lights out was at 10:00 p.m. Their day contained about 4 hours of marching plus music rehearsals. But there was still enough time for swimming and sail-boating at the camp beach. Other activities included a trip to the sand dunes, and nightly dances.
