lVlusic, more than concerts Many people believe that giving concerts is the only thing that music students do. Although there are con- certs, much time is spent practicing and going over and over the music to be performed, they also spend time drilling. As well as performance oriented courses there are three non-performing classes: beginning chorus, choral techniques, and in- strumental techniques and music lab. In beginning chorus, students learned to read music, play the pi- ano and sing. Most of these students were underclassmen who were then transfered into choir. Students enrolled in choral tech- niques learned to conduct. They served as student directors and taught carols to ensembles who per- formed at the Christmas concert. Instrumental techniques and mu- sic lab class, helped band stu- dents to learn a new instrument, an- dfor to let students work on devel- oping their skills on a particular in- strument. 2 1!

N-...X . The world around us ... American history and govern- ment. These were two classes that students had to look forward to in their junior and senior year. Juniors and seniors were both confronted with these courses in order to gra- duate. Combining past and present events, history students learned to understand our country in times of war and peace, good and bad. Besides studying history, juniors traveled to the Model United Na- tions in November at Emporia. Twelve students attended the Model UN. Students chose individual coun- tries and then were assigned to re- present these countries as dele- gates. Taking notes, reading current event articles, and attempting to pass the tests were a few of the many tasks seniors had to under- take in government. As a hobby, Mr. Bob Williams occasionally photo- graphed students during class. Lat- er, students were surprised at see- ing their pictures being passed around the room. Government students learned how to make the thoughtful deci- sions in elections. They also learned important aspects of the Constitu- tion and taxing laws. Watching films and taking tests were commonplace in the psycholo- gy and sociology classes. Mr. Arthur Rose also spent many long hours lecturing to the students. Students in psychology studied the human mind and why people are the way they are. Psychology stu- dents also learned about their feel- ings and how to react to different situations. Through films and lectures we learned about the integral relation- ships between people and how they react in their society, explained senior Chris Stewart. 1 1!

'1-'f 'Yt Gym classes go coed In the seventeen years since Campus opened only minor changes have oc- cured in the physical education depart- ment: different teachers, new gym clothes, or maybe even new equip- ment. Now for the first time, the depart- ment has made a dramatic change. A co-educational program began second semester. With the exception of sepa- rate locker rooms, everyone does ev- erything together instead of separate- ly. Tracy Bevan, freshman, said, I would like it fthe new systemj, because everyone is always saying why can't women do the same as men, and now we can. On the other hand Jeff Cummings, freshman, said, l don't like it because we have to take it easier with the girls competing in games with us. Other than that it's okay. The change was made in order to comply with Title IX, the federal educa- tion amendment adopted in 1975, which requires that, no school pro- vide any course or activity separately on basis of sex. 1 1! Learning the fundamentals of ten- nis is one of the many activities em- 2 K3 phasized in the physical education department. Mark Adams, sophomore, dem- onstrates this activity. 2! Tension can be seen in the faces of these students during a playoff between the top teams in softball. 3!
