BLUES BROTHERS HIT THE NATIONAL SCENE What began as a fun method of passing the time during activity period just over a year before, blossomed into an exciting ad- venture this year as the Blues Brothers Blues Mania Band made its jaunt to Kansas City, Kansas for an exhibition performance for the National Future Farmers of Amer- ica convention. Members of the original group began jamming during club period during the 1983-84 school year in the band room. Quickly the group began to gel, not only in enlarging its membership, but also its repertoire. A culminating goal was for the group, then led by Bill McBee and Mark Bymaster as Jake and Elwood, to win the district F.F.A. talent competition. The group easily met that goal and were off to their next dream — winning the talent facet of the Indiana F.F.A. convention. The state competition was held in June of 1984, and again the Blues Brothers came out on top! An additional obstacle lay ahead of the Blues Brothers members in getting to Kansas City. Not only would it be necessary to raise funds for the trip, but a replace- ment needed to be found for Bill McBee who had just been named 1984-85 State President! With Jeff Rooze replacing Bill, the Blues Brothers members spent many hours polishing their collec- tion of vocal and instrumental music based in part on the popu- lar movie, The Blues Brothers , starring Dan Ackroyd and the The BLUES BROTHERS gather for a photo opportunity after an early morning prac- tice Front — Jeff Rooze and Mark By- master. Row Two — Todd Thompson, Ke- vin Snyder, John Cheek and Chris Moo- day, Row Three — Sound Engineer Kevin Emmert, Manager Scott Hughes, Jun late John Belushi. In addition, many hours were required for planning the trip itinerary, devel- oping fundraising activities, ex- ecuting publicity, and working out solutions to all anticipated problems in advance. Throughout the months of pub- Ueno, and David Thompson, Top — Brad Crosier and Marie Alexander.

 ART AWARENESS Using the main theme of Art Awareness , the Art Club, led by President Amy Labbe, Vice-Presi- dent Margie Cohee, Secretary Caroline Wilson, Treasurer Rodger Walther, and Reporter John Nagae, had a very active year. The Art Club, consisting of thirty members, was busy raising mon- ey by candy sales to take a trip to Chicago in the Spring. Part of the money also went to the Art Scholarship given to a senior who is planning to attend college to pursue the field of art. Any student interested in art should attend art club meetings. The club also had other activities such as a pizza party at Mr Got- ti's and button making. It's really great, stated Sue Ann Anderson, a senior who has been in the Art Club for all of her high school years. Going to the Art Institute and the pizza party was a lot of fun like everything else we do in Art Club. clubs — 13
