MLISIC Mr. Johnson's choral groups were very active this year. The concert choir had the chance to perform at the newly-renovated Fox Theater during the year. Mr. John- son's groups received over 40 honor I rat- ings at district music contest in April, and many singers went on to receive honor I ratings at state music contest. The choir ended the 1982-83 school year with a con- cert on May 12. Mr. Butler's bands were also very busy this year. Besides joining with the choir for a Christmas assembly, the bands have par- ticipated in such activities as hosting 24 South African students for two weeks, competing in a marching contest in Roala, Missouri, and giving a pop concert in Feb- ruary. They received honor l ratings at both district and state music contests, played at the Fox-Lindbergh game at Busch Stadium, and held Band Day at Rax. ln May, Dwight Kraus received the John Phillip Sousa Award for his excellence in Symphonic Band, and Myra Dake was awarded the Louis Armstrong Jazz Award. 4- uvb.

lt's a really good class. We are able to check out the cameras for several days, and we develop and print our own film, said senior Tim Lindsey about the new Photography classes offered in the Art de- partment. The first quarter is basically instruction: lectures, bookwork, quizzes, explained Mr. Morris, the Photography teacher. The second quarter is perfor- mance. The cameras are checked out to the students and film is developed, prints are made, and other work. Mr. Morris has had an interest in photog- raphy since his senior year of college, when he received a camera as a gift. ln previous years he had a commercial busi- ness on the side, doing weddings and ad- vertising. He also handled the film process- ing for Crystal City High School's yearbook for several years. Photography is only de- manding on the pocketbook. lt is a very satisfying hobby, and more and more pro- fessional people fdoctors, lawyers, etc.l use the hobby as a release from iob pres- sures. Students can do the same, he ex- plained. Matt Royal agrees. I was interest- ed in photography, said the junior, so l took the class. l learned a lot. In fact, l asked for my own camera for Christmas. Now my mom is getting after me for spend- ing so much on film and processing. Students occasionally produce some in- teresting photographs. Some students brought in old family pictures, said Mr. Morris. One boy had an old daguerreo- type of the James Gang. in PM-if 1 1 'tap 3 ssssv-. . K, . N in 'X ' dw Q s L , , lg RNQ. 7 ........
