s-Butler bra nited we stand, but di- vided we fallg the slogan our country was built on seemed to be the driving force behind the freshman student council. If it wasn't for the other officers, said President Bob Malone, 'II would have been pulling my hair out! Vice-president Duke Johnson was glad to see that the freshman class got behind us and hoped for that support to continue for the next three years. The remaining offices of secre- tary, treasurer, and representatives were held by Kristin Wheeler, Steve Pockross, and Steve Clair and Mi- vtovrtioipotteti pliesswte chelle Mennekes. Being a freshman class officer has never been easy. Confusion has al- ways been part of being a freshman, but they did get adjusted to Overland, and with their spirit and desire to get involved they gained the confidence they needed, explained Student Body President Evan Armatas. Sponsoring the freshman class were English teachers Mr. Woodie Smith and Ms. Sherry Swanson. Mr. Smith, a first time sponsor, had great enthusiasm about the freshmen. I am very excited about the class and am looking forward to the meaning- ful experiences of the next three years with them. The freshmen maintained a very busy schedule especially in the begin- ning of the year. Treasurer Steve Pockross said, g'We had a Homecom- ing float, we were involved in the Oc- tober Carnival and the canned food drive, and we made plans to visit an orphanage and a nursing home dur- ing the holidays. The class also held a successful movie night for the school. Secretary Kristin Wheeler felt that the freshman student council turned out well, it gained a lot of experience, and it was definitely a lot of fun. But, she admitted, the amount of time, work, and pressure involved was more than I ever expected.

These two things were often needed to be- come a success at most anything-even playing a musical instrument. They were also the two elements nec- essary to take private music lessons, which were recommended to anyone wanting to move up another chair in band. I think it is impossible to improve if you donft take themf' said Soph Andy Thompson about private music lessons. Often the things learned in band or or- chestra were not enough to improve alone. 9 Not only did lessons instruct in techni- cal musical areas like dynamics and phrases, but they taught about perser- verence. Lessons weren't very helpful, though, when the student didn't put in the time necessary to learn. Jr. Beth Schinn said, 1 usually practice a half an hour before my lesson. Private music lessons were very im- portant, not only to the individual, but also to the band. Band Director John Icabone said, MI feel as though it fa pri- vate lessonl is a very intricate, important part of their musical career, and if they become stronger individual players, then the band becomes strongerf' Noelle Brown PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT. Sophs. Robert Brandhorst and Angela Nelson find out as they fool around on the marimba. Private lessons and practice were two essentials to improvement. Private Music Lessons
