Students Participate Mr. Lewis, the director, is a wonderful person. It takes many long hours of hard work to get things together. By this I mean Mr. Lewis wants the best! Sure they have their ups and downs, but doesn ' t every organization? Everybody takes the choir members too lightly. When you strive to reach a goal and somebody laughs and puts you down, it hurts ! So the next time the choir tries to perform for our school, pay attention, because they ' re giving their all. He wants his choir to be number one. He expects each individual to give their all. That’s not asking much. Why not be the best. If you ' ve got it, you ' ve got it, and the choir does! by Vickie Milam I.C. Norcom Chorus Melvin Lewis Music Instructor and Chorus Director The I. C. Norcom choir has accomplished many differ- ent tasks this year. Not only have they taken trips; and been asked to sing on many different occasions, but as a group, they are as one. I.C.
