Season concerts bring choirs together Divided into three different choirs, the Rea{;an Choral Department prac- ticed everyday for one purpose, to per- form. Although the three choirs were all on separate performance levels, they joined together at concerts to make beautiful music. The Mixed Choir was made up of first-year members, mainly freshmen. Varsity was the largest choir; most of its members were sophomores and juniors. The most experienced choir was Chorale. Chorale members had excep- tional talents and were mainly juniors and seniors. All students were audi- tioned at the end of their last school year and placed into each choir. I wanted to be in choir because I liked to sing. I was in choir during junior high school and wanted to become involved as a freshman, com- mented Martha Adams, a four-year member of choir. The first concert of the year was Oc- tober 21 in the Reagan Large Gym. The Reagan choirs were joined by the two junior high schools, Dobie and Fearce. This concert gives the junior high students a chance to sing with the high school students. Also most of the Dobie students and some from Pearce will at- tend Reagan and hopefully continue with choir, stated Mr. Ken Steele. During Christmas the choirs went caroling. The Chorale sang at special luncheons and banquets and caroled in the halls at school. The Christmas con- cert was December 15 at St. Louis Catholic Church. In May the Mixed Choir went to Six Flags. Varsity and Chorale went to Port Aransas, where they went to contest and spent the rest of the weekend on the beach. The Spring Concert was May 19 in the Old Mall. The cool breeze and the beautiful voices made for relaxing music. The news of Mr. Steele ' s leaving for the business world came as a shock to all. At the concert he was presented with a briefcase by the Mixed and Varsi- ty choirs. The Chorale, with the help of Mrs. Diane Steele, worked up a medley of Mr. Steele ' s favorite songs from throughout the years. With the last song of the evening, The Lord Bless You and Keep You, the choirs were joined by many choir alumni to see Mr. Steele off. The last times the choirs performed together were at Baccalaureate and Graduation. Chorale: (From row) Mr. Ken Steele, Paily Bailey.

Revelations, forgiveness topics of FCA Christian fellowship: That ' s what the Fellowship of Christian Athletes was all about. We ' re a small, closely knit group that shares Christ with each other and apply it into our athletics, said Rick Lyons, FCA president. Each Thursday at its meeting, the group had a speaker (usually Coach Dennis Ceder, the sponsor); Rick; pastors from members churches; or college athletes who are involved in FCA. The fellowship we share is very special and it helps us in everyday problems, said Rick, we talk a lot about the prophecy of Revelations and forgiveness. Fellowship was a major part of F( ' A. On Saturday, April 17, members from Reagan ' s FCA, along with members from other high schools, had a combined breakfast at Hill ' s Cafe. The groups sang songs and listened to several testimonies. At the end of the year the group held a big barbecue supper in the large gym, which was a end-of-the-year get-together for everyone that wanted to attend. The members are usually outstanding Christians who care about their relation- ship with God, said Rick. They like the input that is stressed and the atmosphere of Christian fellowship.
