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

42 g Don't get wet! - Principal B i l l Newton is awaiting another wet . sponge in the face at the Indian Pow Wow, Becoming a tradition p Pow Wow gains recognition i Although the Pow Wow was not a complete success, Student Council sponsor Mrs. Lisa Baker felt that it was a big enough success to plan a Pow Wow for next year with the hopes of it becoming a tradition. The purpose of the Pow Wow was to publicize future Pow Wow activities. The idea of Pow Wow was actually brought up in 1985. Mrs. Lisa Baker, Ms. Kathy Everest and Ms. Tammy I-Iart discussed the event a number of times. Then they began to organize it. Ms. Everest recalled when she was a little girl how her town used to have this type of festival and how special it was to everyone. That is what she hoped to achieve through the Pow Wow, something everyone can go to and be together. It was also to be an enjoyable way to earn money for organizations in the school. Mrs. Baker didn't expect to raise much money this time. The Student Council wanted to get their feet wet and see what they could do. They made mistakes, but plan to correct them and organize the Pow Wow sooner next time. Mrs. Everest was extremely impressed at the community sup- port that was given. Places such as jamie's went all out to adver- tise this special event. 24 Pow Wow Many of the events that occurred will remain at the Pow Wow, but much more will be added. One thing that will be definite change is beginning the Pow Wow later in the after noon and running it later at night. Ideas for a possible danc afterwards is forming. Those changes should make a different in the Pow Wow, said one participating student. The main attraction was the Fun Run: the 1 mile, 2K an l0K. About 63 people participated in the races. Most of th participants bought T-shirts that said Indian Pow Wow. Th Fun Run raised approximately 35700. Two other big successes were the dunking booth an assassination booth, The Student Council sponsored the dunk ing booth. Students worked in it but the main attraction was th teachers which included Kathy Everest, Tammy Hart, Davi Park, Jessie Teddlie, and Principal Bill Newton. The assassins- tion booth was operated by the Drafting Club. Every fiv minutes another victim would be attacked by water balloon It was a great way to cool off, said one participant. Already the sponsors of this year's Pow Wow have great idea and hopes for next year's bash. - STEPHANIE CARRIER
