This year as previously, the LCS band, under direction of Mr. Slrivings, has so extended its scope of activities that the organization has justly earned a reputation not only for excellence of perfomrance but also for the willingness of its personnel to give up their time for the enjoyment of others. The band participated as a group and individual soloists at school assemblies and in the Spring Concert. There were also band repre- sentatlves at the New York sectional music festival held in Holly this year, and at the County Music festival. Perhaps the greatest accomplishment of the band was the purchasing of new unifomxs fatter all these yeaxs.J Congratulations! This group, ln its second year of existence, has diligently practiced throughout the school year under the direction of Mr. Strlvings. True, they haven't reached perfection but they are laying the groundwork for a much better senior band in the future.

SENIOR CHORUS Mixed chorus, our largest musical organization, was glad to be once more under the direction of Mr. Stevens. At the beglnnlng of the year the task of recruiting a sufficient number of boys willing to slng appeared to be difficult, However, the choral call, sounding loud and persistently, was answered by many male athletes. Musical appreciation was increased through work on semi-classical numbers such as Handel's Messiah. The Christmas Asesmbly and the Spring Concert gave the Chorus an opportunity to show the fine quality of thelr accomplishments for the year. Evidence of the growth of the music department of LCS, both ln size and enthusiasm, is clearly perceived on observing the junior chorus. Made up of seventh and elthgh grade boys and girls, this group meets twice a week to learn the principles of choral technique JUNIOR CHORUS lst Row, L, to R.: Wendell Shattuck, Robert Kersch, George Ehresman, Daniel Mc- Bride, Lynn Hall, john Ames, Kenneth Krajewskl, Michael Lekopltes, Roy Grtsewood, Nonnan Randall, Leo Madison. 2nd Row: Virginia Kohler, Arlene Noble, Ann Vincent, Iudy Renaud, Phyllis Woodard, Barbara Brown, Mary Louise Columbo, Judy Smith, Rose Marie Bracone, Caroline Blis . 3rd Row: Gloria Perkins, Patricia Brown, Linda 'lH1cker, Ellen Frazier, Vema Reed, Shella Crowell, Wynola Popp, Anna Ames, Linda Bums, Mary Lee DeGolyer, Mr. Stevens. 4th Row: Linda Merle, Mary Songer, Marl- lyn Flint, Bonnie Barlow, Linda Dunning, Charlotte Lawson, Elaine Robinson, Audrey Miller, Patricia Brogan, Sharon Green. 5th Row: Sandra Carpenter, Sally Stenson, Carol Cook, Kathleen Erhart, Nancy Redding, Roxanne Wolcott, Deanna Camey, Carol Baker, Linda Blsenbach, Marlene Ftnkle, 39
