Best known is the Initiation of New Members party, where old members did such things as dip marshmal- lows in catsup and drop them in new members! mouths or wherever they happened to land.

lt's performance that counts! Two new classes were added to the music department this year, piano and guitar lab. New equip- ment was purchased to accomodate these classes. Students learned to play the guitar and piano or maybe just to brush up on old talents. Helping choir students with their music is a major benefit of the labs. Select choir chose their officers at the beginning of the year. J.W. Pierce was chosen as president, Matt Batiiff, vice-presidentg Laurie Bryant, secretaryg Terri Hampton, treasurer, Bill Nobles, publicity. Select has two meetings a month each at seven o'clock in the morn- ing. Performing at a music festival in Weatherford, Oklahoma at the beginning of the year wasjust one of the activities Select Choir partici- pated in. Learning to appreciate music, read notes, learning scales and practicing, practicing, practicing on sight-reading are some of the major tasks the Mixed Choir han- dies. Contest and school concerts are also activities of mixed chorus Singing and music is fun and that is what the music department tries to put across to the students. is ,fi t 1 . 5? ini , r it it rr.r .fs 3, if . ...JN A 1 at w. if it Y 3,4 E k Y ' ' .1 at 4. . f it . .1 r 4 'V ' S ' ' 5 to , 1.
