Photo Club focuses on students' activities 'I' He' ' 2 3 Those blinding flashes that burst out at homecoming and other school activities came courtesy of the Photo Plub. Members took pictures that were later displayed in downstairs D-hall and sold to the student body. The money raised by selling bits of Circus Magic and other memories went toward the development of better lab facilities. Egg shows that there is still talent left at Morton and that people are interested in reading literary works that are written by their classmates, said Jasmina Savic. At its annual banquet, the Egg honored writers and members who showed special effort during the year. Having already won the National Scholastic l'ress's All-American rating twice, the Egg staff felt confident in publishing its fourth edition. An increase in membership prompted by the current dance craze made Modern Dance Club a more active organization. The club took trips to see famous dancers such as Dennis Wayne and Alvin Sley.

Led Zeppelin, Styx, Kiss, and many other well-known groups and recording artists like Barry Manilow and Billy Joel permeated the listen- ing and even the dress of most students. For that matter, anything related to the music world intrigued almost everyone who tuned in a radio. For many music offered an escape from the pressures of home or school. The multitude of song titles and lyrics guaranteed a release that was suitable for the macho man or perhaps gave inspiration and courage to King Tut fans. Sometimes merely listening to the music was not enough, those with disco fever joined the crowds on the flashing floors to dance out the aggravations of the week. For the talented, simply listening to others produce music was not enoughg they banded together to make their own. Guitarists, pianists, and even kazoo players joined ranks and played at parties, dances, and any other places that would indulge them. Others preferred to play solely for art in the privacy of their own homes. The luxury of losing themselves in music, whether it be Bach or rock, made even the most boring music lesson worthwhile. In spite of the varied tastes in artist or instrument, most agreed that without music it would be kind of quiet out there. nu'-F W ,...-all 5 'A .1 :gk 5- - ST: M MUSIC 41
