The primary functions of the Glee Club, Girls Chorus, and Seventh and Eighth Grade Chorus are: to appear before the public, to furnish music for assemblies, graduation, and other school activities, and to give the participants a chance to learn how to sing in a group. Mr. Ralph Roudi conducts the Glee Club while Mr. Jack Henegar directs the Girls Chorus and the Seventh and Eighth Grade Chorus. These groups annually give Christmas and Spring Concerts. The groups meet separately twice each week to rehearse. The members are graded on how well they learn the music as well as the way they sing. One fourth of an academic credit is given for each year of membership in the Glee Club or Girls Chorus. Each year, the new members of the Glee Club Canbuytheir Glee Club pin and after the second year their letter. In May, tryouts are held for anyone who wishes to become a member of any of the three groups. I gk l GIRLS CHORUS' BACK ROW left to ri ht Mr , ' S 2 . SEVENTH R AD . Landf Susle CJ-aPP, Sue Brandt.

The Flat Rock High School band,led by alternating drum majorettes, one assistant drum majorette, and six ma- jorettes,makes an impressive sight as it furnishes halftime shows for all of thc home football games. Their uniforms ofgreenand gold show off to advantage when it goes through its various marching routines. The band,under the dir- ection of Mr. Ralph Roudi, was one of the two hundred bands chosen to assemble at the University of Michigan to attend the Annual Band Day. These bands formed to make the world's largest massed band. In August, 1956, one drum majorette had the opportunity to attend a majorette's convention in Indiana. Some regular band members are also included in a dance band, directed by Mr. I-lenegar. This dance band enter- tains during assemblies, parties, and a few dances. After the football season, the band turns its attention to concert work. During the year, several fine concerts are presented which provide musical entertainment of a fine quality. ln the spring, the band turns its attention to outdoor practice, in order to prepare itself for various parades. As each year passes, the band increases in size and improves. Donna Dishon Marv Tacketf Carol Butt STANDING left to right: Pat watson, Irene LaPere, Kitty Rowe.

A cheerleader is a small, bright package of enthusiasm and energy that can be found leading the cheers through all kinds of weather. A cheerleader controls and leads the people with sportsrnenship and spirit to help the teams to victory. Flat Rock's Cheerleaders are made up of two squads,Varsity and Reserve. This past year, the Varsity has had four Seniors and one Sophomore, The Reserves had had four Seniors and four Juniors. Each squad had a repre- sentative at Student Council and Assembly Committee. To be a cheerleader, one must be neat, mannerly, love cheering, have cheering ability, and a C average in her studies. She must be enthusiastic and peppy with good school spirit, She should hold no rivalry against the other teams. Under the guidance of Miss Jean Bartlett, the cheerleaders can be found practicing, faithfully, in the halls of Flat Rock High every fourth hour during the football and basketball seasons. Each year, the cheerleaders attend the Annual Cheering Clinic for the Huron League which was held in Ypsilanti this year. The purpose and the aim of this organization is to promote a feeling of good school spirit and pep at the games. The students ha ve given their overwhelming support, and the girls have had a successful year.
