choir 204 S A Cappella Choir members entertain customers at the Texas Commerce Bank during the Holi- daySeason. Practice Makes Perfect Sing! Sing! Sing! That's what choir is all about. The choir began their year by practicing for Region Choir competition. This competition re- quired a lot of hard work and self dedication. After Region Competi- tion, they made their first trip to sing in the Astrodome. They earned the honor of singing the national an- them before the district play-offs. The holidays came and it was time for Snow Flakes Slowly Drifting and Winter Wonderland music for their annual Christmas concert. This year they were joined in their con- cert by the performing choir from Hambrick Junior High. The concert ended with a standing ovation from the audience. The choir also went to Texas Com- merce Bank on Airline Drive and to the Aldine Administrative Building to perform during the holidays. After the Christmas concert, the choir started to prepare for solo and ensemble competition and for the Pop Shows. Entertaining the school was one of the most interesting and fun things we did all year, stated Don- nie Thompson, president of the MacArthur A Cappella choir. Mr. Lambert hypnotlzes Angela Ramirez and Jodi McAdams into singing O Holy Night. Choir members warm up customers inside the bank, while winter winds blow rain around in gales outside. l i dpsl

206 math Let's see, 1+1 is . . .?! thinks Ruth Ching. Mrs. Lloyd and Ms. Lloyd Jr. CLucy Chingb make plans for their next meeting. Iwi I l ,--if if-.s Playing the Numbers Game The Math Club gave students the opportunity to test their mathematical skills and compete with other schools. Contest teams were divided into two groups: number sense and calculator. In calculator, par- ticipants took a thirty-minute test consisting of various types of mathematical problems. Calculators were used to help arrive at an answer. In number sense, par- ticipants took a ten-minute test which also consisted of various types of mathematical problems. Number sense, unlike calculator, permitted no calculators or scratch paper. All computations were done in the head. Students spent long hours prac- ticing and learning short cuts to these tests. A great deal of time and effort went into preparing for com- petition, yet all ofthe hard work was not wasted. Members, like Ricky Livanec and Khol Nguyen, placed several times at district meets. The 1983-1984 Math Club proved to be the largest and most suc- cessful yet at MacArthur. The club consisted of twenty to twenty-five members. Each and every member par- ticipated in the group's fund raiser, selling little stuffed animals. With the money that was collected, the Math Club attended many non-district meets and had a very nice gathering at the end of the year. Sponsor Mrs. Lillie Lloyd, spent many hours devoted to tying up loose ends for the club. Lucy Ching, president, stated, Mrs. Lloyd made the Math Club what it is today. It wouldn't be the same without her. ' S. . T ' Qs. N if N I 4 I. .lt VM IA xt g ' s 6, .
