The Honey-Do's, a new girls' trio was formed this year by four junior girls, Anne Harris, LaDonna Saxton, and Pam Orbaugh, with Susan Klumpp as their accompanist. They became very active and were very much in demand throughout the year. Besides entertaining for school events such as the Christmas programs and between acts for class plays, they were featured in the Variety Show and did many programs for PTA groups, organizations, and clubs. Also, they have given programs for many organizations outside of Elwood. These girls hope to continue their group into next year. Willkie's dance band, the Varsitonians, was active this year especially around the time for spring proms. They were also a part of the Variety Show. They are under the direction of Mr. Clifford Brugger, who plays saxophone with the Varsitonians. Another part of the music department and one which is especially liked by teenagers is the Dixieland. If Dixieland music is what you like this is the place to find it. They have played for outside functions as well as school functions such as between acts of the class plays. They are under the direction of Mr. Rex Jenkins, who plays clarinet with the organization. 27
