Choir This year we only have one choir be- cause the program got cut back to one section. Everybody hopes that next year they will have two sections for more ad- vanced students. Choir is open to any- one, but this year there is a small amount of students. Considering the few stu- dents. they are very enthusiastic. They have a good variety of new members as well as old members. In December. they did a Christmas concert on the fifteenth. which included a candle light procession. They also did some caroling around the school. Some ofthe members participat- ed in the CCS festival, they were also in- cluded in the CCSjazz honor choir. That was real special because students from all over the county try out for this and only a limited number ofstudents make it. This year is Miss Bosworth's first year here. Before coming here. she taught at a high school in the midwest for three years. One new addition this year is a girls choir. that meets after school. l. Choir members warm up their vocal cords. 2. Jennifer Travis leads the bunny hop. 3. Paul Marinelli remembers he has a UN meeting at lunch which he is missing. 5. lVIr. Teastand gives us his best James Dean look. 152-Choir ,nun-Q 4? -'QQ
