Four enter All-State competition n November 29, four Oswego High School Wind Ensemble members traveled to the 1987 All-State Music Conference sponsored by the New York State School Music Conference CNYSSMAJ. The four students who were selected were Keith Hinrichs, Kirsten Stewart, Jim Dumas and Andrea Parker.These four students, who are Seniors at OHS, competed last spring against 4000 other students and were four out of the 845 chosen. Keith Hinrichs, Trumpet, was selec- ted to participate in the All-State Sym- phonic Band by acheiving a 99 on his audition. He began taking music lessons while attending Minetto El- ementary School. He now participates actively in the music program in such organizations as the Mraching Bucca- neers, Jazz Ensemble and Brass Quintet. Kirsten Stewart, Oboe, also earned a spot in the All-State Sym- phonic Band by also acheiving a 99 on her audition. She began her musical career at Leighton Elementary. She has been active in the Marching Band as well as in the Syracuse Symphony Youth Orchestra for the past two I , All-State member Jim Dumas and Mr. Lisk have a discussion before rehersal. years. Jim Dumas, Trumpet, was selec- ted to the All-State Orcehstra after re- ceiving a perfect score on his audition. He began his instrumental music lessons while at Minetto. Jim has been extremely active in all musical ac- tivities at OHS including the Marching Band, Jazz Ensemble and Brass Quintet. He also has been a member of the Syracuse Symphony Youth Or- chestra which has given him numerous musical opportunities. Andrea Parker, French Horn, also received a perfect score at the NYSSMA auditions which consequently put her in the All- State Orchestra as well. Andrea began her musical instruction while at Kingsford Park and has continued strongly through high school by her participa- tion in the Marching Band, Symphonic Band, Concert Band and Horn Choir. In addition she has participated in the Syracuse Symphony Youth Orchestra. These students are a good indication of the dedication that the band pro- gram teaches and their selection into this elite group of high school mus- icians is something for OHS to be proud 0f.,by Eben Novjfleef

With sails fluttering in the breeze, small crafts ply, al- most defiantly, over the might of a giant. Power,sur- ging, the mammoth lake falls. Aboard this fleet are the sailors of the OHS Sail- ing Club. Dominating the year's events was expansion. with the acquisition of two new Flying Scotts. The Sailing Club was able to diversify into different areas. Although leisurely sail- ing and teaching members how to sail properly is the cornerstone of the Sailing Club, racing has become of interest. Using the Oswego Maritime Foundation's fac- ilities, racing has become a feasible concept. Racing will allow Sailing Club members, to challenge themselves as they use their athletic skill combined with sea faring knowledge. On a final note, the prop- stage to actual flight, model airplanes are intricately det- ailed examples of human in- genuity. The sight of model aircraft roaring. in flight is truly an one.
