Express Yourself Miss Emmons, choir teacher, makes BIG plans for their next concert.

Art courses permit student self-expression in drawings, painting, and sculptures. Artists ' select subjects ranging from people to prejudice to world problems. Early morning practices paid off as the band dis- played its excellence on the field and on-stage. Their marching ability brought them local and state honors. Beautiful music was not limited to the band; the choir warbled its way to fame. Swing choir, a new addition, performed at various public func- tions throughout the state.
