The American Industrial Arts Students Association prepared its students to design outer structures, and the Future Homemakers of America taught its members the in- tricacies of managing a life inside these structures. AIASA experienced a particularly rewarding year. Belonging to the second oldest AIASA chapter in the state, talented industrial arts students brought home blue ribbons from every contest they entered. Junior Dantis .lustine and David Brownson several times took two blue ribbons at one contest. Other students who took first place in the competiti- tions included juniors Yong Cha, Marland Meek, Kenneth Fitzsimmons, aqnufri. . fr David Tran, Robert Muzny, Mike Gehrki, Stacey McPherson, Mark Leeder and Carl Guthrie. Seniors who won blue ribbons were Kevin Dunkle, Daniel Werhun and Brian Gabrish. Those who had won blue ribbons in the various competitions participated in the state contest at Crossroads Mall. Although only eleven members joined, FHA participated in a great number of activities throughout the year. Three service projects kept FHA members very busy. Projects included the donation of food and cloth- ing to the Oklahoma Jesus House, assisting the Battered Women's Shelter and visits to the Senior Citizen's Center of Moore. Meetings, held at least once each month, sometimes featured guest speakers. One speaker, a person from the Women's Shelter, explained the circumstances involved when women sought help. During Halloween the members dressed for a costume patty and watched classic movies at their video party. Although it was called The Future Homemakers of America, the group learned much more than homemaking. We learned how to work with other people, and we learned how to communicate with people of other generations, said junior Ann Hamil. atisfaction.

, We sing a wide variety rjmusic, so there's always a piece ryf music' that hits home in everyone. - junior Julie Tittle M-res? s Q., i Apollyras Sings A Variety of Tunes Getting ready for all- state, singing dinners and various concerts helped perfect their music as the choirs worked toward earn- ing an invitation to sing out of state. They were successful and received an invitation from Nashville. Tennessee for the National Choral Convention. The choirs included Lyras, the all-girls choir, Apollyras, the select chorus, and Moore and More, the show choir. All practiced long and hard, working each section ofthe choir separately before put- ting them together to create a large ensemble. Being in the choir did not only include hard work and determination, but also many parties, including ' vw 1 parties from the beginning of school and initiation to just plain get-togethers. Some of the members of these choirs found them- selves close, just like a family. I loved being in Apollyras, and I loved being under the leadership of Mr. Ralph Duncan, said junior Darla Haffner. Since the choirs had many things to do during the year to prepare for the upcoming events, much time and work, not to men- tion lots of energy, was required. Extra spirit and support was always needed and given by the students in or out of choir. Aside from their many concerts and perfor- mances, the students in Apollyras decided to enter the homecoming parade contest. They won first place in the float division. Another special event was the singing dinner. The students provided the dinner for their families, then performed for them. Not only were the three choruses acclaimed, but in- dividuals inthe choirs were very successful also. After a state-wide com- petition ofthe best singers from different high school choirs in the state, senior Dana DePriest, senior Melodie Crittenden and junior Stephen Petrocelli were selected for the all- state choir. Alternates were seniors John Williamson and Eric Fox. up ' ew Choirs 42 Organizations .-M we H A? Gif tudying Heavily.
