We Go Together. . . You may have asked how did the theme of this yearbook come about. I. Nancy Knoll, the editor, made the deci- sion on what the theme should be. Selecting the theme is an exciting job. I came about my decision of “Music is a way of life when I was listening to the radio. I thought music touches everyone in many ways: students perform in the music program, some students are members of bands out-of-school, and almost everyone listens to the radio. Even TV commercials have music. Music touches students in many ways. Some music brings back touching memories from the past. Other music brings futuristic ideas to the listener. Music will never die in the young and in the old. in the meek and in the bold. Remember to always let music ring throughout your life.

'When the Music Starts’ 14 Music Students contributed many different musical talents to LaPorte High School. The choral program was one of the best setups in the state. Mr. Eddie Burk, the director, guided the different choirs in unique interpretation of various musical styles. The choirs performed for the public twice a year, rehearsing many long hours to perfect each work. Mr. Robert Bunning and Mr. Robert Jones directed the different bands, with Mr. Bunning guiding the Sophomore band and Mr. Jones leading the March- ing and Symphonic bands. There were two annual concerts for public enjoyment. Both the bands and the choirs par- ticipated in various local and state con- tests. as well as selling candy to raise money for new uniforms and choir robes. The money was also used to defray the cost of traveling to the competitions.
