Glees Sing Modern As Well As Classics Harmonizing and creating beautiful sound with voices of feminity and masculine tones, the boys and girls glee clubs sang some intellectual numbers such as selections composed by Fol lett, Shayne and Praetorius. If you walked by the choir room and overheard melodies by Simon and Garfunkel or the Monkees you were right, they were being sung by the glees, also. Director Douglas Pearson added a few of the more popular teen selections for the glee to try. They proved to be very entertaining for the clubs, and added a change to the every day monotony of going over the same old songs. Douglas Pearson Choir Glee ABOVE: You must put more feeling into this song, explains Doug Pearson as he tells the glee how he wants a particular song done. 27

Physical Activity Stressed in PE Class Today's seated population, chained to office chairs eight hours a day, seems to be stressing physical fitness more than ever before, and the physical education classes are keeping right in step with this need. Starting with modern dance, the girls worked their way through tumbling, basketball, and volleybal I. The boys were engaged in basketball, indoor baseball, outdoor softball, tumbling and volleyball.

The fear of every drum major is wondering if the band is still behind him. Mark Young is no exception as he takes a quick glance during a parade through downtown Norfolk. Ken Wacker Band Orchestra Drums, you're dragging, cornets, you came in a measure too late, and so goes the daily Symphonic Band rehearsal. Practice, the key to success and perfection, that sometimes monotonous, but necessary duty is what prepares the band for its performances. The band1 s performances over the last year have included the half-time shows presented at the football games. With the end of the marching season the band prepared for the concert given during the District III Teachers Convention, which in turn was followed by the Annual Pre-Christmas Concert. Next came the Spring Concert which was well attended by band enthusiasts. The end to the year's activities came after the All-City' Band Festival, the climax to a highly successful year for the Band. 28
