Kellerls talent steps on stage and ' Sho cases the stats' We've got talent, yes, we do. We've got talent, how about you? Picture this: A crowd grows restless, the curtain rises and the an- nouncer says, Come on down, you're the next contestant in the talent show. Maybe all talent shows don't start that way, but KHS's first talent show was a big success. I felt l had a lot of students involved that weten't in choir, said Barbara Nathman, Choir sponsor and teacher. Where did an idea for a talent show come from? Nathman felt the Choir needed a way to raise money. Money wasn't the only reason for the talent show. The show also gave the students a chance to perform for each other. Acts ranged from vocal solos to tap dancing. The talent show also had a rock band called Defiance, The performers in the show were Monica Klinkerman, Anne Daniels, Tracey Simpkins, Michelle Varner, Kim Buchanek, Rhonda Moore, Ann Beebe, Aimee Perritt, Jenni Sumpter, Lisa Millard, Becky Tims, Heather Spore, joe Scroggins 8: Company, Greg Smith, Clint Vernon, Pene Burns, Deanna Sims, Nelson Baird Sc Company, Victoria Barker, Kai Peterson, Heather Hester, Barry Yandell, Ronny Kent, Scott Ristau, Stuart Pritchett and Richie Batterton. - LEE ANN TOLIVER The Bird?l - No, it's Tribe doing a routine in the talent show. 20 Talent Show

Even though there wasn't snow Christmas spirit sang out As the lights dimmed and the music began, it was time to see if two months of hard work was about to pay off. The choir students had been preparing since early October for the Christmas concert. They had been attending before-school practices which ran about an hour and were the students' least favorite part of the concert. It was hard work and they'd get discouraged, choir director Mrs. Barbara Nathman explained. However, none of that discouragement was evi- dent while the choir was onstage. This year's con- cert was different from the preceding ones mainly because this one was an actual musical with the ad- dition of solos, duets, and skits. Last year's pro- gram consisted of only concert pieces. Nervous anticipation - Tension mounts as the choir students wait for their cue to go onstage before the Christmas concert. Melodious - junior Debbie Yaniko displays her expertise on the flute when she performs during the Christmas concert. 22 Christmas Concert The change of format seemed to please the au- dience. After its first performance, the choir was given a standing ovation. We were pleasedg it was very nice after all our hard work, Mrs. Nathman said. One of the solos was performed by senior Cary McKay, who began singing at Hfteen. He is undecided as yet as to whether to make singing his career. He enjoys it and feels that If you have a God given talent you should use it as well as you can. The program was a great success, added Mrs. Pam Wren, who had also helped organize the con- cert. - ALEX CHRISTIE
