The orchestra didn't march in any formations, play at any football games or give even one jazz concert the entire year. This must not have mattered however, since they succeeded, for the fourth year in a row, in being one of the two schools to make sweepstakes. Through the year, the orchestra displayed its talent by way of such students as Kevin Beutnagel, concert master, Roy Cook, Cindy Toth, both first violinists, and Janet Hutchison, secondary principal, Since only 15 people met fourth period as the orchestra, the members were close knit. Only two planned to go into music after high school, but all except six took lessons outside school. The orchestra passed the year practicing, giving concerts like their Christmas Concert here at Lanier and the Region Clinic Concert, and competing an All State Competition at L.B.J. High School, where they won sweepstakes. In the UIL solo and ensemble contest at O'Henry, Kevin Beutnagel, Roy Cook, Cindy Toth and Holly Smith came in with ones on their solos, and Lanier's Quartet also rated a one. lvlost of the kids in orchestra got their start after taking the music skills test given to students in the sixth grade. Being in the orchestra gives students more than just a chance to play music. Summing it up, Ftoy Cook, Vice-President said, When I finish a concert I have a feeling of accomplishment and discipline. Boy Cook and Kevin Beutnagel rehearse The King and I, Kevin steadily held the place of concert master the entire year. I I-lolly Smith and Dot Barger rehearse their part on the cello. Holly came in with a one on her solo at the UIL contest held at O'Henry. orchestra 221

At UIL Marching Contest, the band received a first division. But, said assistant Drum Major David Doss, besides that nothing special has happened. The band performed two successful concertsg a Christmas Concert and a Spring Concert at which they played concert and sight-reading music as an example of the workings of UIL Concert and Sight-reading Contest. There were several individuals who worked a little harder and brought special honors to themselves. Steve O'Brien and Terri Tallas represented Lanier at the All- State Band convention. Doug Urban and Nancy Zacco as well as members of many ensembles brought back first division ratings at UIL Solo and Ensemble Contest earning themselves a chance to go on to the State Contest at the end of May. The major disappointment of the year came when both bands received second division ratings at Concert and Sight- reading Contest from a tough set of judges. We all wanted as one, but I guess we didn't work together as a unit well enough to earn that one, said Mary Bacon. Though bandsmen were not totally satisfied with the events of the year, it was a fairly young, fast maturing band and the hopes for a better year were strong. Drum Major, Steve O'Brien puts all his effort into direct- ing the band. Mike Tabor plays a Solo at an early morning Stage Band Concert. 'I 1Qief3.,Qfr .4 , as s 1 ca n J in . 5 , f.

222 pan am A Pun Concern You didn't have to bein a Spanish class. You just needed to be concerned with raising funds to help out charities, This proposal seemed attractive to about 50 Lanier students who chose to join up with the ranks of Pan Am club, under the sponsorhip of Mrs. Welsher. Of course, a lot of the club members did take Spanish, but that was not required to be a club member. About 25 of the members, under the leadership of President Hector Cruz-Aedo, were very active in the club and made the effort worthwhile, Pan Am sponsored three or four bake sales, a gigantic garage sale at Hector- the-fearless-Ieader's home, sold candy canes at Christmas, sold nachos at the carnival, and brought the Mexican Revolution band to play Spanish music at an assembly for the student body. Funds which were raised went to help Guatemala earthquake victims C51 255, a certain amount of state dues, food and toy drives for needy families during Thanksgiving and Christmas time, and help for Mr. Matthys' travel fund, Although the group didn't make it to the State Convention because of scheduling problems, they didn't let the quarter system spoil their travel all together. A trip was planned for Mexico, but due to Mrs, VVelsher's upcoming motherhood, a shortened trip was taken to Garner State Park. There were also day trips to San Antonio for Fiesta Night and visits to old Spanish missions. End of the year activities included a banquet where the next year's officers were to be elected. Being a Pan Am meant being able to have a good time and help others at the same time, The fellowship of the members kept things going to help the less fortunate in our community. Vic McWherter and Mary Vasquez help Pan Am set up for the carnival nacho sale by getting the plates ready for the crowd.
