keep musicians busy The music season started the week before school at band camp on Blackman Lake. The band spent the week marching and conditioning for the coming season. The marching band played for football games in the fall and was in public parades. In the late fall, the marching band was transformed into the concert band. The concert band won a superior rating at the state contest at Snider High School. They per- formed at assemblies and put on the winter and spring con- certs. The stage band, a select group of 20 musicians, played at area dances and dinners. The new Swing Choir, composed of members from Con- cert Choir and Glee Club, performed more difficult music than the other groups. They teamed up with the stage band for a concert in the spring. Concert Choir, which received an excellent rating at the state contest, gave concerts at area churches and also at school assemblies. Girls ' Glee Club gave concerts at the Lutheran Old People ' s Home and at other places in this area.

CEMENT, WOOD, NAILS, AND GLASS— The senior boys in the car- pentry and concrete class gained much practical vocational experience when they added a family room to the house of Mr. Jerry Mitchel. The class also had other outside projects. Students acquire practical experience in I can ' t work on the roof — I ' m afraid of heights. This was only one of the many problems overcome by the boys in the new carpentry and concrete class. They gained practi- cal experience when they added a family room to Mr. Jerry Mitchel ' s house in Highland Terrace. About one-fifth of the time was spent inside the classroom planning the work; the remaining time the boys were out on the job. Vocational experience was also gained in the mechanical and architectural drawing classes, woodworking, metal shop, auto mechanics, and electricity. IT WON ' T VAROOM — Senior Greg Smith works on one of the auto- mobile engines in the auto mechanics shop.
