Hair Today Cosmetology Students Efforts Pays To shampoo, cut, style, or perm are just a few of the basic skills a beautician must be able to perform. The cosmetology students are required to take tests with scoring on their capabilities to do such things as give manicures, a scalp massage, giving shampoos, combing out wet hair, and rolling and giving permanents to patrons. Students within the department are dedicating three periods a day for two long years of high school time in hopes of becoming a licensed beautician by graduation time. 'fBeauticians give a skilled service that will always be in demandf' said Veronica Williams about the profession ofa beautician. The cost of attending an out-of-school beauty school ranges well over 951,000.00 for classes, and supplies. Here at Crockett the Cosmetology students pay only for their supplies required for the class. The Cosmetology wing opens their doors to the public, and anyone desiring their services at a reduced price. A haircut and shampoo is 5B6.00, and a cut with a style is an additional 32.00. The Cosmetology department finances supplies and trips with the money from services rendered to their weekly patrons and walk-in customers. The effort and time that each student hoping to become a certified beautician must apply is enourmous. Both the morning and afternoon cosmetology class is filled with juniors and seniors practicing for the final test of their skills, the State Board Exam. Hundreds of grueling hours are spent practicing haircuts, different styles, manicures, and shampoos which will prepare the students for the competitive world of Cosmetology.

Strings Orchestra maintains excellence through changes Despite many changes, the or- chestra had another successful year. The orchestra received a new director, Mr. Bill Dick, at the beginning of the year and had to adapt to his way of teaching. This year the orchestra also won sweepstakes for the fifth year in a row. We had our ups, downs, and sometimes had some pretty bad feelings, said Senior Tom Monahan, but we came through with sweepstakes again, and that's pretty good. When Mr. Dick ar- rived, many students were disap- pointed. Sallie Banks had been the director for five years, and the or- chestra had done very well with her. Many of the students were afraid that the change would affect the quality of the orchestra, but Mr. Dick had proved himself by the end of the year. Freshman Andy Hendrix said that things worked out for the bet- ter. The orchestra's character overall has improved, due to Mr. Dick. It is a lot more organized. Among the changes this year were rehearsals at night. Before some of the orchestrais important concerts, they would have rehear- sal from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m., once a ff above: While practicing for the Mother's Day concert, Senior violinist Kara Galbraith keeps her instrument in correct position.

The chamber orchestra, a more advanced or- chestra, had even more concerts than the concert orchestra. Many more hours of rehearsing had to be put in by these students, but both orchestras required a lot of work from students. The rehearsals were hard, and we had to do a lot of work, but I think it shows. said Freshman Beverly Noah. This year a large part of the or- chestra participated in UIL Solo and Ensemble contest. Students who received first division in solo were: Jenny Smith, Karrie Cole, Lisa Saunders, Amy Farris, Mit- chell Mills, Andy Hendrix, Michael Werst, Kara Galbraith, Kevin Cauley, and Holly Everett. Ensemble first division winners were: Ricky Mikl, Tom Artiss, David J arrott, and Melinda Lane. The Orchestra participated in UIL Sweepstakes contest again this year, and won for the fifth year in a row. The orchestra received a first division in all six categories, and received a sweepstakes trophy. by Bryan Norton 40 W is ' U
