As Tina Moss watches, Melissa Barker types and Gary Clark adjusts her Santa Claus hat for the upcoming staff Christmas party. Cash Flow Everything went smoothly, there was a lot of cooperation between the staff members. All deadlines were met, it was a very successful year, said staff member Kris Franklin. We implemented changes in the style of the book as well as changes in the staff responsibilities. Ideas for these changes came from co-editors Tim Flora and Donju Taylor who started gathering ideas when they attended Ball State's Journalism workshop. The workshop gave us new and interesting ideas to help compile the 1986 Jetstream, said Tim. While the editors were planning out the book with the help of the adviser, Mrs. Janeen Blomenberg, the staff was given the task of raising the money to publish the book. Jetstream had many activities throughout the year to raise money; one of which, selling ads, started in early August. The most fun we had while raising money was putting on the Masquerade Ball, said Melissa Barker. It took a lot of hard work and preparation to plan out the ball. Everyday for two weeks before the dance there were special announcements, including: We Are The Staff, Humpty Pumpkin, and Twas The Night Before Halloween. The most unusual promotion was the Chain Saw Massacre. Gary Clark dressed up as the killer and terrorized the halls with a chainsaw. The Ball was not only a time where everyone dressed up in their wildest costumes but was a night filled with dancing and contests. Contests included: the popcorn eating contest, which Jon Ross won; the scream contest, which was won by Tim Tallent and the costume contest which was divided into four categories. The categories and winners were scariest — Chris Glaser, funniest — Chuck Mee, most original — Melissa Patton, and best disguise — Mark Williams. The Ball was a big success, said advisor Janeen Blomenberg, we raised over $500. The week before yearbooks went on sale there were many activities that took place. One involved the students dressing up for spirit week. The class of 1991 had the highest percentage of participation in the spirit week, so they got their yearbooks personalized for free. Another activity involved the raffling of a yearbook which was won by Jason Wilson. A second yearbook was given to the first student who could guess where it was hidden. Clues were given everyday that, when properly deciphered, led to the exact location. Matt Smith was the first to guess the correct location. The biggest activity to promote the sale of yearbooks was the convocation where Staff Fued was played by teachers and students. Even though the staff took time out from producing the book to write numerous announcements, plan the Masquerade Ball and convocation, we managed to put together a great book. Staff morale was high, personalities complimented each other and it was fun to be a part of this great group, ended Mrs. Blomenberg. Jetstream 15

Sounds of Music Last year changes occurred in the choral and band departments. Miss Rita Richmond returned to teach both the junior and senior high choirs, and showgroup. The return of Miss Richmond brought about some alterations in the presentations and looks for both the choirs and showgroup. In junior high choir, Miss Richmond concentrated on getting the fundamentals of music down while they learned new songs for concerts. Without the fundamentals of music, there is no point in trying to perform musicals, stated Miss Richmond, You have to understand the basics of music and sound to perform. The senior high choir practiced and polished the basics learned in junior high. They used these basics to learn the The Madrigal.' 'The Madrigal' was a difficult piece to learn because the singers had different starting times, said Miss Richmond. When they finally got it down, it sounded good and everyone was happy. The senior Selected members of the brass section of the high school band perform The Notional Anthem before a girls varsity bosketball game. high choir also used their knowledge when they gave a public performance at Metamora during the Christmas season. The Show-group, an extension of the senior high choir, performed at the Moravian Church for the Senior Citizen's Banquet. I felt that the Banquet was the best sounding concert showgroup has performed, claimed Miss Richmond. While the choirs polished their skills, the band also expanded on their knowledge, with the addition of a synthesizer to the pep band lineup. We bought the synthesizer to broaden the horizons of the band members and to give them some experience with high tech equipment, explained Mr. Charles Biggs, band director. The synthesizer was used primarily at games, but it also made appearances at the concerts. The changes made in both choirs, showgroup, and band improved the performance and led to better attendance at the concerts, stated Kim Barton. Band and Choir 17
