inRTFP (Continued from page 12) Backed up by talented JV and Freshman squads, and advised by Ms. Nancy Wiseman and Ms. Lisa Myers, they put hours into making signs, decorating lockers, and planning thuses and spirit building ideas. “Sometimes it didn’t seem worth it,” said Boyles, “When the team was in the middle of losing their fourth game in a row, it was raining and the crowd wouldn’t respond, you wonder why you would ever want to do this. Then there were games when the crowd was excited and the team was responding, the electricity was there and I was glad I went through the hassle.” When school started in September, changes in the schedule were extensive. Expanding from six to eight class periods allowed several departments to increase their curriculum. The choir department eliminated its period for Singers and began separate classes for men’s and women’s choirs, providing for diverse choir arrangements. The prestigious Entertainers continued to travel extensively in several states performing for a wide assortment of groups, ranging from high school students in many surrounding counties to conventioneers at Seven Springs, Pennsylvania. The groups combined precision and song, resulting in the Men’s Choir being named one of the state’s Outstanding groups by the Association of West Virginia Music Teachers. Seven seniors were also named members of the All-State Choir. Pat Harton, Minda Keener, Tami Murray, Chuck Saffle, Jef Findley and Leigh Rainey participated in sessions held in Morgantown.
