Melodies va ry usual routine classwork English teaches the basics of grammar and literature. Math teaches computation. Science teaches how life functions. The Music Department, however, has more out-of-the-ordinary purposes. One half of the music department is the Band. Band is a daily class directed by Mr. Noel Cross and Mr. Robert Sohn. During class the band practices for performing in concerts and playing as the “pep band at varsity football and basketball games. Exceptional band students can participate in Jazz Band. They perform at concerts and at elementary schools. Like every organization, the band had its hand out. They sold popcorn, cheese, and sausage to raise money. The other half of the Music Department, choir, consists of Concert Choir, Girls Choir, Cirls Chorus, and Chorale. While the Choirs meet in classes, Chorale practices out of school. Members are those chosen at spring tryouts. All were directed by Miss Cynthia Przondo. Music theory and music appreciation, a new class, are electives which are provided for those students interested in music as an art. These were taught by Miss Przondo. Ceramic bells and candles were sold to raise funds for the choral groups. Both halves of the music department, band and choir, add a little color to the regular hum-drum routine of classes. The fleeting moments of glory during halftime for band members like junior Steve Whitehead come only after hours of marching practice. Students must put up with the shrill whistle of senior Lynn Feigle. 24

A meeting is held between members of the newspaper staff in order to get facts straight on the week ' s news. Seniors Joanne Verhulst, Jeff Alexovich, and Gloria Govert consult one another in sixth hour. The work never stops for publications staff members. Senior Jeanine Stettin, editor- in-chief of the News Bureau, and senior Vicki Krupinski, editor-in-chief of the Panther Press, relay weekly news in the halls. Once merchants have agreed to advertise, ads must be constructed. Junior Jesse Rocha builds the ads that will appear in the Panther Press. Ads pay for the $175 weekly printing cost of the paper. News Bureau-Back row: Jacob Verhulst, Jeanine Stettin, Patty Jacobs, Bob Chambers. Front row: Vita Luque, Anne Osmulski, Denise Fratter
