It was an exciting year having all the foreign exchange students in class, added Poore. The chorus had many activities this year including singing at the opening of the performing arts center, graduation and several night performances. Performing so much has given me more courage when I am in front of other people and it helped me to be able to communicate better with other people. It really helped me when I had to sing in front of all the employees at Little America, said Sophomore Cindy Delgado. Lyman hosted the Southwest District Festival for the cho rus and band students. The chorus received a superior rating from the judges. Sophomore Sharla Williams noted, I liked it because it gave you a chance to hear everyone's different talents. The best part for me was getting to see all my friends from other places, said Sophomore Joe Brodine. The swing choir was an extracurricular activity which select chorus members could join. They participated in the Southwest District Festival and were the only 2A school to receive all superior ratings. They hosted the Centennial Singers from the University of Wyoming and then later attended an invitational swing choir clinic at the University. The annual chorus tour was to the Salt Lake City area where the group performed and went shopping. It was a lot better than last year because we got to go to more places and we also got to visit with people and go around to all the malls, noted Sophomore Bryan Johnson. Junior Drew Lewis said, I liked meeting and singing to the little kids and making them feel better. The reason for joining chorus varied form person to person but in general most did it to improve their singing ability. Brodine added, I have been singin g forever and it provides a creative outlet for me. Poore had retumed from a sabbatical year in Utah. The year was a transitional year from the style of the former teacher, Mary Beth Lyon, to his. The year started very rough, but by the end they had been fashioned into getting a superior rating at Festival and next year I expect them to be even bctterf, added Poore. J im Chapman Head tones.

Clint Hallam Rodeo Club. Back row: Ken Christensen, Chad Marshall, Leo Beauchamp, Jamie Schmidt, Front row: Blake Odom, Advisor Rex llamner, Clint Hallam, Tom Tippets. HB1 Rim eo Club popular song by Boys Donlt Cry. Interest was shown in rodeo so a rodeo club was formed. Vo-ag Instructor Rex Hamner volunteered to be the advisor and clown. Being a clown is harder than you would think, he said. You have to be agile andthink and be prepared for any- thing. Your greatest job is to protect the rider. Students donated a huge pair of jeans for his clown outfit. The club had fewer than ten members but frequently more than that came to practices at the Lyman rodeo grounds. Local rachers donated practice stock. Seniors Clint Hallam, Tom Tippets and Freshman Ken Christensen were bull riders while Senior Anna Dufva and Freshman Dusty Snyder were in pole bending, goat tying and barrel racing. They competed in rodeos at Ft. Bridger, Lyman and Evanston and also traveled throughout the state. To participate in any area rodeo, you need to have a membership card sanctioned to the High School Rodeo Association, noted Hamner. This costs 358. It covers parental permission, insurance and a medical liability release. Injuries were real but the riders took precautions. Hallam said, My most memorable experience was breaking my leg on Mr. T in Rock Springs, but I still compete because it is exciting and there is lots of competition. Rodeo is a sport where you don't get rich very quicklyj' added Hallam. After you buy your card, there is a S30 entrance fee along with travel, lodging and food expensesf' Hallam was rated fifth in Wyoming in high school bull riding. He placed first at Wheatland, third at Riverton and sixth at Torrington. Tom . Tippets also broke into the money with a second at La- Grange in bull riding. It is very challenging because it is just you against the bull, added Tippets. ' My favorite event is pole bending, said Snyder who also competes in barrel racing and goat tying. My most embarrassing experience was when I went to tie the wrong goat in Riverton. Horse- manship also helped Snyder win a rodeo queen contest. Winning the Jackpot in pole bending is my greatest memory, said Foreign Exchange Student Dufva. HI had ridden a horse in Swe- den. I love riding aroundat night when it is peaceful and quiet. Dufva also partici- pates in the timed events of il barrel racing and goat tying. 925' J ay Buckley Just right.
