'N Practicing for one of the many chorus concerts, Marsha Grover rehearses during her chorus class. DAVID MUTH Choral Music JIM BENNER Department Chairman Band, Music Theory In today's fast-paced society everyone needs some ac- tivity which will relax him and give him the energy to con- tinue his daily routine. For many this relaxation comes in the form of music. Students at Manzano are given the oppor- tunity to participate in the field of music they find most satisfying-orchestra, band, or choral music. Those inter- ested in the principles of music may enroll in music theory. Students who do not want direct participation in specific areas of music find that Manzano's music appreciation course will give them a better understanding of the music which others perform. Students enrolled in any of these music courses will find themselves nearer to a fuller and more relaxed life.

After President Kennedy's physical fitness program was intro- duced, emphasis on the physical education program in the public school program has steadily increased. Not only is a well planned course of excercise and competitive sports needed to keep the body in top condition, but it has been proved to be mentally stimulating as well. Manzano's teaching staff includes competent instructors for both boys and girls P.E. classes. Girl's classes encourage the development of such attributes as grace, good posture, and atti- tude. Stress in boys classes is put on developing a genuine interest in sports and a sportsmanlike interest in achievement.
