am stuck on bandnidc! sings Swing Chair mem- ber Mary Daniel as partner Greg Osburn points to the spot in a medley of Harry Manilow ' s commer- cials. The Voices of Music Magnificat, a 46-page Latin work, was performed by Chorale at the annual Sa- cred Concert at the Lutheran Church. This number was the highlight of the Con- cert, which also consisted of Concert Choir performing four numbers. For the first time this year, an encore performance of the concert was held at the Eaton Church of God. A new song was added to the show, an antiphonal hymn, featuring an echo. The annual Choral bake sale brought in over $700, breaking the previous year ' s mark of $500. The sale was aided by moth- ers of all Blackford choir students in high school and junior high, by preparing the goodies to sell. The money is used for con- test fees, new equipment, and the Chorale tour. A first place at solo and ensemble con- test went to Tammy Lee, who also achieved a first at State. Tina Cook also sang in All-State choir. The perfect way to end the year? A choir picnic, of course, with everyone hav- ing fun and food! A small group, but that didn ' t affect the singing of the Boys ' Glee Club. They joined in the Festival with Blackford, Montpelier and elementary choirs. Directing is a big part of a successful concert. Mr. Phil Turley does his job in the fall concert and obvi- ously enjoys it as well. Swing Choir: (Bottom Row) Matt Daniel.

Statistics of each homcroom ' s totals of yearbook sales are posted by business managers Judy Ruble and Shelly Brown. A total of over 800 were sold. v ' fJjlliJ Pub joined work and fun News stories, newspaper and yearbook deadlines, photographs, interviews, cap- tions and copy, popcorn, cai es and cook- ies, drives, and football games were all a part of the ' 79 Publications year. Fund drives were sponsored to give money to poor families during Christmas by the selling of Christmas wishes and money for the Heart Fund was accumulat- ed by the selling of Valentine wishes. Annual yearbook subscription drives were held to lure the students to purchase their yearbooks. Homeroom of the Day award was given to the room which had sold the most orders that day. The ' 79 edition of the Reflections has more color than ever before, including the opening and the senior sections. Due to the largest budget ever for the book, the price was boosted $1 on its subscription. During the season of the Girls ' Basket- ball Sectionals a 12-page Sectional edition was printed covering all of the teams, facts, and statistics. This was a first for the paper. In photography, the darkroom was giv- en a treat. .Members of the photography staff gave the room a coat of flat black paint. Popcorn odor floated through the halls on occasions. Often someone would bring in some popcorn and everyone was in for a treat. For basketball games a guess of the score was taken and the winner was pre- sented a cake baked by a fellow Pub mem- ber. During the year all Pub and Journalism classes would get together to crown a new football champ in the annual Pub-Journal- ism football game. The winner this year was third-hour Publications. Coin matching became the ultimate decision maker as to who got the picture, newspaper or yearbook, as shown by editors Paul .Montgomery and Rhonda Smith. A uniform for the annual Pub-Journalism flag football game is presented by newspaper staffers to adviser .Mr. Ed Henderson. Popcorn, anyone? Taking a break from the chores assigned in Publications are a group ofPubbers sam- pling a snack of hot buttered popcorn. Publications 127
