MISS SONJA L. PRYOR Gordon College A.B.; Cho- rus. RICHARD F. McLOON Boston University M.B.; Music: A Cappella Choir. Band. Chorus; Wrestling Coach. A relaxed atmosphere, coupled with the discipline of regular assignments and specific subject matter, characterize this year’s activities of the art department. Here an individual exercises his freedom to think, to feel, and to express in visual form the results of his thoughts and emotions. The awareness that art is both a process and a product comes as the student has oc- casion to act as both the artist engaged in the creative process, and the observer regarding with appreciation and analysis the work he has created and that done by others. Music From the martial airs of the marching band to the refined strains of chamber music, the music department offers students a wide variety of experiences. The performing groups include the band, pep band, brass choir, mixed cho- rus, a cappella choir, and sev- eral small instrumental combi- nations. Starting in the fall numerous performances were given throughout the year. The Regional’s marching band helped to, promote more school spirit at the football games. Also performing at the fall games was the pep band, made up of nine students from the larger band. The singing groups entertained at the spring Arts Festival and at the graduation exercises.
