Many students show talent There are over 150 students enrolled in art class this year. In Art I students learn to draw better paint with creativity and learn to do mosaics for the art show. In Art II more advanced students worked with clay and learned to make pots, bowls, and other simple projects. Art III students worked at their own level and speed, and had a choice in what they wanted to do from drawing to pottery and silk screening. They have an art show every year. Students projects were displayed at a show to compete for ribbons. They were also displayed at the Danish Festival where some were purchased. 23 Senior, Debbi Jacobs works on an animal in Advance Arts. Tim Earns, senior works on a model of his car that he own.

Cathy Radunzel, senior, diligently works in order to perfect her marching skills during one of the weekly Wednesday night band practices. GHS proudly presents... Mr. Gerald Roys, percussion instructor for the, GHS Marching Band, proves once and for all that the part can be played, as Dan Hilliker, freshman, looks on. The pep band patiently awaits its opportunity to show what musicians are made of at one of the various pep assemblies The GHS bands continued their fine tradition of performance this year, as both both the Symphonic and Concert band earned straight 1's at both district and state band festivals. The bands included the addition of freshmen musicians this year, and if all goes as planned, they will remain a part of the band program. The freshmen were admitted to the high school band program because, The bands were becoming in progressively smaller, according to Mr. Keith Hudson, director of the GHS band program, and a smaller band means less sound, in both quantity and quality. I he bands lost 24 seniors to graduation, but Mr. Hudson believes that the remaining members will be able to continue the high quality of music that GHS band fans have become accustomed to hearing. They will have to, because based on their record of performance, the Symphonic Band has been selected to perform at a prestigious band conference at Ann Arbor next fall. The band not only provided half-time entertainment at home football games, but also was an added attraction at both Boys and Girls' Varsity Basketball games and added spirit to the Pep Assembly activities. Band members must sacrifice much of their free time as the many after-school activities are considered to be part of the class curriculm, and they must also practice their instrument at home each day. The members are also sometimes required to attend summer practices in order to prepare for the Danish Festival Parade and the Belding Labor Day Parade. So, the class is not as easy as it appears. It is not a class for goof-offs nor is it an easy A as it is often referred to. The participants work long and hard to give the caliber of performance that they do. 24
