The High School Music class enrolled fifty students in the chorus this year. This was the first year the chorus was chosen by audi- tioning during the summer. Students who did not try out could be in the other chorus with the freshmen chorus members. From the begin- ning of the school year the chorus was working on their fall bicentenial musical I Love America. Their co- lorful red, white, and blue outfits and patriotic songs made it a successful occa- sion. Later on in the year the chorus presented the musical to several schools. The chorus performed their Christmas program and Mrs. Cornett was absent from the chorus while she had her baby. In the spring they prepared the spring concert. 24 M. Thompson, K. Reddout, N.

RHYTHM WAS ACHIEVED BY THE MUSIC STUDENTS AS THEY PERFORMED This year was a time of change for music in Junior High. For the first time the seventh and eighth grades were not in the same class or even under the same teacher. This made for an unusual combination of seventh and ninth grades for one Christmas program and a separate program for the eighth grade. The seventh grade music class and their teacher, Mrs. Cornett, went Christmas Caroling through Newcastle and then enjoyed a party in the music room. The Christmas program was a great success and was the climax of a busy semester. Both seventh and ninth grade choruses and ensembles worked hard on contest music in order to get as many Su- perior ratings as possible. The Spring Concert was an exciting event which really displayed all the accomplishments of both grades throughout a busy year. 1ST ROW--Director C. Cornett, S. Thompson, D. Havens, D. Stone, S.
