The Art Club enjoys a few moments respite, with a humorous story told by Ms. Burns, before getting back to planning projects. Students engage in fine arts in Chorus and Art Club The Art Club sponsored by Ms. Burns, attempts to increase mem- bers ' knowledge of all forms of art. This year the club had a Boutique to raise money for a trip to Richmond. In Richmond, they visited the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. The Schindler Gallery, a private gallery which was displaying the work of Barkley Sheaks. the Valentine Museum and Byrd Park. Atthe Boutique a wide assortment of the members ' handiwork was sold including leather goods, macrame. wall hangings, keychains. Christmas ornaments and paintings. They made over $200 from the Boutique and hope to use what was left after the Richmond trip for a picnic in late May. The club is also planning an art show in which anyone can enter their work to be judged. The strains of music can be heard driftingfrom the music room at all hours during the day. Of course, the music we happen to be speaking of comes from the melodious voi ces of the chorus. The chorus is divided into two parts: Chorus I and the Concert Choir. The results of these many hours of practice may be heard at a number of performances. The choirs sang at open house for the parents and twice again at Christmas for both the students and the public. And not forgetting graduation, they joined their voices in the most appropriate songs. Those choristers excelling in choral performance attended the All-Regional Chorus. Once there, they gained valuable singing experience. Art Club members: Front row: Donna Potter, Ronda Kimble, Marsha Harris, Beet Poin- dexter. Leslie Tucker. Regina Hiser. Barbara Markley.

It’s totally new! The Scarlet Hurri- cane Band under the direction of a new conductor, Mr. Joseph J. Say- black, Jr., has gone up and up and ... up. The 56 members were hardly recognizable from last year with their new uniforms. The uni- forms added the final touch of con- fidence to marching band members as they struggled with precision drill, heading for their appearance at the Parry McCluer football game. They proved that LHS band has really “come of Age at Winter, Spring, and Pops concerts. Selling everything from tooth- brushes to tickets for a pancake breakfast, LHS musicians worked their way to the District V Band Festival and sent representatives to the All County and Regional Bands. With all the changes wrought this year, we can only wait with pride for our Scarlet Hurricane Band to ap- pear next year with . . . who knows what improvements? Saxophonist, tenor that is, Al Upshaw picks up some pointers from Mr. Sayblack which were a great help when Al made All Regional. Totally new, the Scarlet Hur- ricane Band has come of age 22
