HAPPY BIRTHDAY We all said HHappy Birthdayn, to our band as it celebra- ted its first anniversary in December, 197-+'7. During this time it has made a number of successful appearances. with a year behind of progress both in Quality and size, band members- feel a justifiable pride in their accomplishments and a deter- mination to continue this progress until they have an A-1 organization. Several new instruments, a bell lyra, a sousaphone, a snare drum, a tenor saxophone, and a pair of cymbals have been added. These instruments add much to the fullness of the band. Three students George Hunter, Cora Lessmann, and Martha McLaughlin went to the District Contest at Greencastle. They received very favorable criticisms and felt the experience was invaluable. Nine band students participated in the Vigo County Music Festival. Band members pictured are: Jo Ann Orman, Gayle Boling, Gerald Burdette, Sondra Singhurse, Rita Archer, Tommie David- son, Harold Bozarth, Bobby Modesitt, Rose M. O'Hern, Charles Davis, Jerry Harbaugh, Janet Liston, LaVera Norris, Mildred Shumaker, JoAnn Harrold, Jewell Hunter, Patty Richey, Martha McLaughlin, Norma Burdette, Charlotte Archer, Bonnie Scami- horn, Shirley Burdette, Cora Lessmann, Laura Russell, Jack Taylor, Carol Rudisel, Barbara Baker, Donnie Williams, Bar- bara Edmunds, Darrell Boling, Betty Richey, Alice Loveall, Joan Cottom, John Dean, George Hunter, and Mrs. Muench, band director.

CHORUS The high school chorus gave us one of the most beauti- ful and impressive occasions of the entire year when they opened the annual Christmas program by singing Uwe Three Kingsn during a candlelighted processional. Moving across the audi- torium to the well-loved stately measures of Bizet's NL'AllegroU, they took their places between the flickering tiers of candles to sing several Christmas carols, old and new. The mixed chorus, organized a year ago, consists of thir- ty-five well trained voices. It appeared at several school programs during the year, and participated in the County Music Festival. Seen in the chorus picture are: Joan Cottom, Jewell Hun- ter, Norma Sparks, Rose M. Ellis, JoAnn Orman, Carol Rudisel, Joan White, Geneva McKee, Alice Loveall, Martha McLaughlin, Barbara Edmunds, Norma Burdette, Patty Richey, JoAnn Harrold, Joan Loveall, Janet Liston, Cora Lessmann, Shirley Burdette, Barbara Baker, Deloris McGrew, Bonnie Scamihorn, Amy Norris, Rose M. O'Hern, LaVera Norris, Mildred Shumaker, Jean Ellis, and Susie Smith. . A 5 iT fi- ug- nf 5st mug! C y ins
