Crchestra Accompanies Christmas Choral Music Morton's bands provided music for many school and community functions. They per- formed for four football games, six basketball games, four assemblies, and the homecoming parade. They also played for the Houby Day Parade and delighted area civic organizations on several occasions. According to band director Mr. J. Frantik, Much of our job is school ser- vice orientedf' The choral program suffered from an insufficient amount of male voices. Hour conflicts between choral and other courses forced some male students to drop choir. The orchestra presented two concerts as well as providing musicians for the Morton Chamber l , f Orchestra. It also supplied accompanists for ' parts of the Christmas choral concert. X W5 Marching band members work hours to perfect their coordination.

The Business Department proposed for next year a course entitled consumer education, designed to satisfy this new requirement. Possibly because of the requirement, the business classes' enrollment increased to cause overcrowding. Department head Mr. E. Ludwig stated, Our classes are overcrowded for the type of instruction around which we like to build our courses. The notetaking class switched from a year minor course to a semester major. Mr. Ludwig said, Because of the skills we try to develop in taking notes, it would be better to have the students on a day to day basis rather than every other dayf' The class employed the ABC Shorthand Writing System.
