Being a member of one of the en- sembles was a rewarding experience be- cause ofthe confidence gained, al- though hard work and dedication was required. The all-female ensemble, the Liberty Belles, was made up of 13 talented young ladies. Faith Freije relates, UBeing a belle is just great, we really are the best of friends, performing to- gether has brought us all closer to- gether. Another belle, Donna Chalupa, stated, HI have learned a lot about being in front of people and have really overcome my shyness. The performing ensembles practiced during their assigned class period and after school when necessary. Thirteen males made up the Sons of Liberty. Being a group member helped inspire dependability and responsibility. Some students believed that because of the extra time involved, that group mem- bers have dificulty maintaining a pass- ing grade average. Son member, Kenny Elliot, an honor roll student said, UAS long as you take advantage of studying opportunities and don't fall behind in your work, there really isn't any prob- lem. Marshall's mixed ensemble, the Mar- shallaires, was made up of sixteen stu- dents. The group is the most versatile of the three ensembles, performing at various events around the city. The Marshallaires sometimes made skits out of their songs such as during the Christmas season, they performed t'T'was The Night Before Christmas , a comedy music skit at neighboring grade schools. The Concert Club was recently re- named the Melody Makers. UAlthough a lot of work was in- volved, said Marshallaire Kim Cole, Nthe fun that we had was priceless! by Arbery Butler

Span- ish, French, German, and Latin were in the curriculum. Spanish classes, half their usual sizes, were taught by lVlarvolene Nicholson. David Clapp, former Spanish teacher, left the school for a counseling job downtown. Outstanding students in Spanish, Peggy Fanning and Jean Terry received top awards for lVlarshall in an I.U. Honor Program test given at IUPUI in which ten lVlarshall students partici- trips to Quebec and Germany. The Ger- man classes also planned a trip to Chi- cago to visit the German Heritage spots. Departmental teachers were lVlrs. Jan Hofts, French, lVlr. Brice Tressler, Ger- man, lVlrs. Jane lVleranda, Latin, and lVliss lVlarvolene Nicholson, Spanish. In each class the basics of pronuncia- tion, comprehension and communication were stressed, as well as the culture and customs of the country's language. llTaking a language can be fun, if the initiative and enthusiasm are there, stated Nelson.
