Controversy Explored in Magazine A desire for a medium for longer feature stories led to the development of the new Addition magazine. With the greater length of the stories, con¬ troversial issues could be explored in greater depth. During the first semes¬ ter, the magazine contained mostly features, but plans called for more short stories. Articles could come from any source•; Liberator staffers contrib¬ uted often. Editor Jim Clements was ably assisted by Ron Smith. As usual, the Pep Band kept our spirits up during basketball games. Directed by Stephen Humpreys, the Pep Band played the weekly songs at half-time and at other times in the night encouraging the Marshall fans to cheer for our team.

Proudly March Our Patriots We ' re all familiar with the March¬ ing Band, but it did more than march at football games at the beginning of the year. Veterans ' Day, our band performed in the Parade. Besides this, the students were part of the 500 Day Parade and, before that, they were in ' on the opening of Market Square Arena. The ' 75- ' 76 Orchestra appeared in the Musical “1776 . A festival, May 7 at the sports arena, was another outlet for the orchestra ' s talent. Some of the members participated in the All-City High School Symphony. Ray¬ mond Brandes directs the orchestra. a. The violin is the focus of Lisa Browne ' s attention. Just drawing a bow haphazardly across strings does not pass for music. Knowl¬ edge, concentration and work go into the development of an orchestra member. b. Some of the more dedicated March¬ ing Band members are Tom Hayden, Brenda Hughett and Rick Blackburn. Most of us first notice the Band on the field during football half-times, but the students also march other times at other places, c. Steve Snow and Dennis Waggoner, members of the Pep Band, keep up the beat as they play dur¬ ing one of the games. Even if you aren ' t a basketball fan, why not go just to listen to Steve, Dennis, and all other hardworking members. They ' re there to raise your spirits, d. Jim Clements, who is known for his cartooning, took on a different task as editor of the The Addition. Newspaper staff mem¬ bers contributed articles to the new maga¬ zine.

Celebrate With Song And Dance Thursdays were days either looked forward to or dreaded by members of Marshall ' s Chess Club and sponsor Jack Weaver. On those days they faced chess players from other schools. A match involves ten games; there are five varsity boards and five JV boards. Regular meetings were on Tuesdays. Just recently organized was the Folk Dance Club. The important factor was that the dancers were eager to learn. It was a fresh, new experience for most of them. Even though they were beginners, t hey revealed their talent. Cindy Baker, the sponsor, dem¬ onstrated international dances for the club. They appeared before Market Square Arena crowds and other groups.
