We're going to use instruments in one selection, and we may be getting a keyboard synthesizer. Paula Hunt spoke with excitement about Swing Choir. Swing Choir started toes tapping and fingers snapping as they stepped through their routines in perfect harmony this year. But just how did Swing Choir learn all those routines and why didn't anyone miss a beat? The dedicated work of choreographers Paula Hunt and Cassandra Lees made the choir a successful group. When asked how she got the choir members to learn the steps, Cassandra responded, If they want to work, they will. If they don't feel like learning, then it will take twice as long. Cassandra has had two years of jazz and four years of ballet and Paula has had two years of ballet. Paula and Cassandra usually met together at least one night a week to discuss routines. We had no set routines made up. Paula or I would see a step we liked or learn a new one in ballet and then put it into the routine, said Cassandra. This year Swing Choir performed in the Revue and had four concerts as well as various other small performances. They always performed their dance routines with grace and a smile, brightening up the entertainment put on at MHS. CHORUS SWING CHOIR 29

WORKING HARD HAVING FUN Hard work, but it's a lot of fun. Work fun? At first one might be skeptical, but Rick Bennett's enthusiasm could make a believer out of anyone. And they do work hard. Under the supervision of Mr. Tupper, they spend a good part of their day, fifth through seventh periods, building the Capstone house. Capstone covers the basic skills dealing with house construction and helps the students to cooperate and work with others. They do not cover the electrical, plumbing, or heating phases of the house's construction. The house, at 1423 13V2 ave., a salt-box style, was designed by Paul Johnson. VICA was a club designed for those interested in Vocational Industrial Occupations and they work closely with Capstone. Their activities were based on areas of trade such as house construction, house wiring, welding, drafting, machinery, and auto mechanics. They also attended a leadership lab at Delavan and went on a field trip to the GM Auto Plant in Janesville. Although both Capstone and VICA members did put many hours into their activity, they had a lot of fun working together. Getting real experience in class and out, they lived through hours most people could not even begin to comprehend: hours of work fun.
