And at Alta, there was music enough to sooth us all. with the choruses com- prised of A’cappella. Madrigals. Junior Choir, and Mixed Chorus Although the selection on individuals in these groups was diverse, all members had some- thing in common — an enjoyment of music and a desire to use its charms. This common ground not only made for a successful sound, but also gave mem- bers a chance to get to know others who shared their love of music The Madrigals were closer this year then they have been in previous years. noted Beth Adams and I think getting along so well helped our performance The Christmas season was a busy one for the Madrigals and A'cappella. The groups had about 20 performances during the month of December alone, including their Christmas Concert the Monday before Christmas. The Madrigals and A'cappella were also planning a trip to either California or Hawaii. The trip offered them a chance to entertain, gain experience, meet new people, and have fun as well Although being in a chorus could take a great deal of time and effort, members felt it was all worth it. not only could they enjoy the 'charms’ of music, them- selves. they helped us enjoy them as well Insrumental I music was one of the largest groups of musically involved stu- dents at Alta Those groups included in the insrumental category were the marching band, symphonic band ac- companied by the orchestra. Alta's marching band did very well in the competitions that they attended For the fourth consecutive year they placed first in the region two competi- tion. When they attended the largest competition in the state they were ranked sixth. The symphonic band and orchestra played a major role in the Christmas concert and they spent a lot of time working on their musical pieces. They symphonic band made a trip to Arizona in May One of the nice things about being m band this year is that the school is finally giving us some support Many people don't realize how much time the kids put in to prepare for a competition It's great that people are beginning to appreciate our accomplishments. commented band enthusiast Shauna Edwards The instrumental music de- partment claimed the unmatched achievement of winning all Regional Competitions in music.

Dr. Raymond Whittenburg Superintendent Ray Brown Deputy Supt. Kenneth Prince Deputy Supt. Marlin Fairbourn Aaat. Supt. Not A Prayer As if managing the fastest grow- ing school district in Utah was not responsibility enough for the Jordan Board of Education, in 1983, the board faced the task of enforcing federal decisions made on several controversial issues. The question of whether prayer in public schools is constitutional was one of these issues. Prayer at school or any school meeting was banned. Even the pauses given in memory of former students and teachers were prohibited. “I can un- derstand why prayer in the class- room situation is unneccesary. commented Kay MacNamara but I Congratulating a croaa country winner. Mr Worlton enjoyed close association with students. don’t feel having a ‘moment of si- lence’ is wrong. The decision on video copyright laws probably had the most visable effect on schools. Because of a call for stricter enforcement of the laws, teachers could no longer show most videos to their classes. As long as we aren’t using the tapes for com- mercial gain, and just for education, how can it be considered illegal? questioned Michael Ripplinger. One of the questions that remained to be answered was to what extent lack of videos would affect education. Dan Allen felt that although there are other methods of presenting the same materials, the inaccessability of video material will be harmful in the long run. Richard Gourley Asst Supt.
