During the fall, a convo on the uses of energy was present- ed. It demonstrated how to conserve and utilize various types of energy needed in everyday life. Life entered the student body assembly during the spring. The nine-piece band played musical arrangements of popular songs during the past five years up until the current songs of the charts today. Seniors Kevin Ford and David Green were sung to by two of the females in the group during little incidental solos. Juniors Rochelle Anderson and Dee Dee Schwindt were the choices the two lead male singers made during their solos. I could ' ve danced all night is indicated by Rich Roark and Rhonda Mann.
