The Sound Of Music 1. All eyes are on Mr. Snyder as the Chorale performs in Enrichment for the students. 2. Working hard, the stage band creates music for a school program. 3. Playing the clarinet takes much concentration for Mary Azar. 4. Beth Crotts and Kim Corvin warm up before band class. As students walked through the double doors south of room 104, they were not only faced with music coming from the band and choir rooms, but also with such sights as girls twirling rifles and flags as they practiced for the band’s new half¬ time program. Totally new to the music department was the addition of a military style marching show. The Chorale welcomed the addition of Elmarie Smith, our foreign exchange student, which brought their membership to 51, an all-time high. Girls’ and Mixed choirs worked hard to present their two annual concerts while the Madrigal Singers labored to perfect their technique of a cappella singing. The ten students enrolled in music theory and the six in Music Appreciation studied music on an advanced level. 75

Blue, Green, And White OR Maroon And Silver?? Many different courses were offered by the art department such as Introduction to Art, Beginning and Advanced Painting, Commercial Art I, and Design. Students could be seen throughout the year drawing the halls of Andrew Lewis in order to learn the rules of perspective. Other art students could be seen rubbing various textures around the school with paper and crayons in order to create rubbing designs. The art department helped to prepare for the change to the new Salem High School by making posters displaying the six choices of colors for the new school. The students of Andrew Lewis, Glenvar, and Hidden Valley referred to the posters when voting on the colors. Three choices were eliminated in two preliminary rounds of voting, and maroon and silver were chosen in the final round as the colors of the new school. 1. During the art show, Mark Sweet and Kathryn Gillock pause for a conversation. 2. In Advanced Painting, Mark Mitchell diligently works on his next project. 3. Shelby Ferguson makes patches for her blue jeans. 4 . Using the rules of perspective, Damita Brownley draws the hallway. 5. Allen Mitchell talks while tracing a pattern onto cloth.

The Survey Of Science As one would walk up to the third floor, one could hear that old familiar phrase, “What is that smell?” Most people knew that the smell was coming from the science rooms. Anatomy students found themselves squeamish as they dissected cats and other animals. Rain and sunshine became important to the Creative Horticulture students who labored in the courtyard. Other students were to be found in Electric Circuits class and Biology performing experiments. Fewer catastrophes occurred as students became more knowledgeable about science. 1. Miss O’Dell points out the interesting parts of the dogfish to Chip Hitt and Lynn Garst. 2. Chemistry students soon learn that science often means discovering and learning concepts with one’s own imagination and initiative. 3. Sherry Burton demonstrates how to handle test tubes without breaking them. 4. Sean Kelly proudly displays his dissected dogfish. 76
