Mrs. Madge Harry Chorus, Chorus Advisor Mr. Hugh Preble Band Larry Nunn and Belvie Douglas rehearse for the Christmas Assembly directed by Mrs. Harry. Band, Chorus Miss Mary Spoon Special Education SCA Advisor Although the chorus, under the direction of Mrs. Madge Harry, has only been in existence for two years, it is a point of pride at CHSHS. The chorus performs at inter-demoninational church services, entertains both the senior and junior high schools at assemblies, and sings in the annual community program sponsored by the Chapel Hill City Schools. In order to become better ac¬ quainted with the fundamentals of music, the chorus members must take a course encompassing various com¬ posers and their works. Another organization which the school is proud of is the CHSHS Band. The Band, under the direction of Mr. Hugh Preble, made its debut at the 1965 Homecoming and greeted the rooting spectators with strains from The Sound of Music. Although it is limited in number, the Band has also performed in various programs, including a Christmas program at the Junior High. Because of lack of funds the Band was discontinued three years ago, but an effort is now being made to re¬ build it entirely. Perform for Community Band members set up before a Band rehearsal. 29

Electives Further Interests The girls in the Home Economics class leam about their roles as the homemakers of tomorrow. This course involves two semesters of study with the first emphasizing sewing and the second, cooking and homemaking. Mrs. Johnston is al¬ ways ready to give the girls housekeeping hints that make maintaining a household much easier. Through the competitive games and exercises in Physical Education, the student develops himself individually and as a member of a team. The students play basketball and soccer, have archery lessons, and tumble. One year of Phys¬ ical Education is required for graduation and any additional years are elective. Art is an often neglected part of a person ' s development, however a great interest is shown in this course at Chapel Hill Senior High School. This two-year program explores oils, ceramics, sketching , and sculpture. One aspect of par¬ ticular interest to the students is jewelry-making; this art employs the mind and the hands and also demands use of the imagination. Another center of interest is the numerous art shows which occur periodically. Mechanical Drawing, a course which cultivates skill in lettering, construction, and ’three-dimensional drawing, has only been in the Chapel Hill Senior High School curriculum for the past three years. Mrs. Baum illustrates a form of art work. 28 Coach Culton explains the fundamentals of volleyball to the boys ' phys. ed. class.
