Free from the obligations of school work, students and faculty members enjoyed the warm days of summer to their fullest. The North Lamar Wind En- semble traveled to Austin to compete in the State Solo and Ensemble contest. Taking time out from their busy contest schedule, members also found time for swimming and touring the State Capitol. Members of Beta Club also had a chance to do some traveling while they journeyed to Washington D.C. for their National Convention. This tour also included stops at Opryland in Nashville, Tennessee, and Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. While in Washington, members participated in the opening ceremonies of the convention, and Michael McFrazier com- peted in Talent Competition. Returning home, Greg McNeece said, The memories will last a lifetime. From seeing the Lincoln Memorial at night, to listening to the song 'Nasty' ten thousand times on the bus, none of it will ever be forgotten. However, all too soon, the summer came to an end. Mem- bers of the band, cross- country team, football team, and volleyball team found themselves preparing once again for another school year. Meeting with their Congressman: Mem bers of Beta Club meet with Congressman Jim Chapman during their trip to Washington, D.C. The Star Spangled Banner : Tracy Brown sings the National Anthem during the opening ceremonies of the National Beta Convention. 14 - Summer Beta Club Members Tour wg., .yy ?? Tvg,ff:., . fs.
