Talent triumphs with teachers and training by La'Dell Scott s. Kris Ehlis, a graduate of the University of Northern Colorado, was the new strings teacher. Through a lot of hard work the strings put on many con- certs. Among their activities they played for weddings and were paid for it. They participated in the Solo 6: Ensemble Festival and all but one of the students made it for the Nor- theastern Regional Orchestra. The A.C.E. CAdvanced Choral Ensemblej Choir had a very in- teresting year. Ms. Brown has taught the choirs here for 5 years and says that with a majority of students be- ing new to high school choir, it was basically a year of training, one in which the students learned a lot musically as well as what it means to be a member of a team. She also said, The choirs have a lot of talent with a lot of good potentia1. The choir went on tour to the Grand Canyon, Phoenix, and Tucson. Fundraising included: Feast of Carols, quilt raffle, concession stands at Ace Hardware store, pumpkin sale, P.T.O. Hallo- ween Party, and car washes. A.C.E. performed at the A.A.A.E. Conven- tion at N .A.U., the Baptist Church, H...,..,X 1 3 4 and the Lions Club. The Girls Choir toured Phoenix performing for schools in Show- Low, Payson, and Mesa. While on tour they went to the movies and at- tended the Mountain State Festival. To raise the money for tour they sold Flower Grams and held a dance. They also participated in the A.C.E. Choir's Feast of Carols. Both choirs participated in the Solo 8: Ensemble Festival, Regional Choir, and All-State Choir. Not everyone made it to the Regional and All-State Choirs though. Y 1.

Club visits jungle , Thompson turns Tarzan by Kim Caster Blue skies and bright sunshine brought relief to the snow-covered Spanish club members. At the first stop in Los Mochis, after about twen- ty hours of driving, many people rested for the coming day while others took advantage of low prices in the market. For the new members of the club, Mazatlan was a new world. Much of the five days was spent soaking up the sun on the beach and shopping in the streets and the huge market. This year there was a new attraction called The Spider. A few students climbed to the top of the huge structure and flung themselves into the rubber straps below. This year was also the first time for an extra trip. For 10 older members, the trip to Tepic turned out to be a little more than expected. On a side journey to San Blas, they encountered a jungle where Coach Stan Thompson, Greg Schimmel, Ieff Powell, and Chris Kuhl all played Tarzan for a few minutes on the vines. The trip's final two days were spent in Hermosillo, where Thomp- son tours, pool football, and Easter Sunday services ended the trip. This year there were 56 students and 10 chaperones. The club raised 58,600 and spent S6,000. Fund raising events were cake raffles, a dinner and a breakfast, a walkathon, and concessions at home games. The of- ficers for 1982-83 were President Roger Marble, Vice-president Greg Schimmel, Secretary Chris Pelto, and Treasurer Adrienne Smith. 'sz 1. 2. f- 71.545 -3' L 'ff M' ,,. -1 F 22 SPANISH CLUB
