EMERGENCY The members of the East Lansing High School Symphony Orchestra packed their bags and prepared themselves for a long bumpy bus ride as the three day en- richment tour began. Among the major areas visited were Grosse Pointe, Jack- son High, and Ann Arbor. There, the stu- dents played concerts, went to music mu- seums, and were lodged overnight in their host families' homes. They also met oth- er orchestra students from several differ- ent schools. As one member of the or- chestra put it, it was a musical experi- ence for the students which offered a pro- fessional outlook on their future. Gerald Bartlett, director of the sym- phony orchestra, left East Lansing to be- come the first permanent director of the Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp. After a dedi- cated 18 years of service, it was not easy to leave E.L. and all its memories behind. The last concert, which was held on May 19, was followed by a reception given for Mr. Bartlett and alumni members. Among the students who have won awards for their outstanding achieve- ment were Terry McKinney, Teresa Bea- man, and Reed Beaman. They were se- lected as semi-finalists in the Michigan Youth Arts Festival for performing as the best solo instrumentalists. Another talent- ed student, Georgia Ellis, was announced semi-finalist in the vocal solo.

P HERE Kll lY, Kll l Y East Lansing team- mates look on while a member of another team trips over a cat. Y ROLL OVER The boys' Baseball team par- ticipates in pre-game warmup. While many of us were basking in the sun, members of the spring sports teams were busy working out, practicing and competing. Although the spring sports were the least acknowledged, East Lans- ing produced some fine teams. Baseball, Softball, Track, and Tennis, all offered fine coaches and players. Despite the work, there were plenty of good times and just plain goofing off. Like all the other East Lansing teams, they put forth the ex- tra time and came out ahead. Whether it was hot, or cold, wet or dry, you would find someone out running laps, hitting ten- nis balls, or practicing batting. The Track team and their best. Hunter are
