abilities to good advantage Jackie Swearingen, Nancy Wall and Mark Kemerling attended a chorus camp last summer held at Macomb on the Western Illinois University campus. Having had a valuable experience, the three brought back innovative ideas for the year’s chorus activities. Mrs. John Pickering, a teacher aid for Mr. Vitto, helped with the chorus during the first few years of school until Mr. Leander assumed the position as band and chorus instructor. Under Mr. Leander’s guidance, the chorus participated in three concerts—the Christmas, Cabaret, and Spring Concerts. Participation in the spring contest is always eagerly awaited. Consequently after much hard work and practice, the mixed chorus and various solos and ensembles achieved superior ratings at the contest held at Chadwick. Thus, the chorus had a full and exciting year. Julie Stabler served as pianist for the Freshmen Chorus while Nancy Rollins accompanied the Mixed Chrous. Below, an octet consisting of Sue M., Tom K., Chris R., Mark K., Mary S., Chuck W., Julie L., and Rob S. received a superior at contest by singing a selection entitled “Windy.” Debbie Hood, Nancy Wall and Claris Hepner sang “Green Fields” and received a superior rating at contest. At left, Nancy Rollins received a superior rating at contest with a piano solo and also accompanied Claris Hepner who also received a superior with a singing solo. 21
