Senior Chorus The Chorus, under the direction of Miss Mildred Seavey, has had an eventful year. In previous years, the Chorus usually limited its public appearances to the Christmas and Spring Concerts. This year, it has built up quite a large repertoire, and has performed for the Eastern Star, and on television, as well as the Annual Christmas Concert. The Chorus has two main goals: to entertain its audience, and to give pleasure, experi- ence, and musical knowledge to its participants. Junior Chorus

During the course of the year, its members prepare, pe- riodically, bulletin boards, displaying book topics, and urging students to read. This being a presidential elec- tion year, the library club took a straw vote of the student body, and an- nounced the results. The members have two main goals: to learn somewhat how to run a library, and to encourage the use of books throughout the school. Library Club Organized in the Spring of 1964, the Future Teachers Club aims to offer to students interested in the teaching profession the opportunity to gain in- sight of the profession. They get first- hand experience in the classroom by discussions with new and experienced teachers, and outside activities con- nected with school. The club hopes to help students make an honest decision about becom- ing a teacher, to promote better teacher-student relationship, and to provide more well-qualified teachers. President - I. Ozog, Vice President - K. Miller, Secretary - J. Copperwheat, Treasurer - J. Arthur, Advisors: Mrs. L. Coons, Mrs. R. McNeil.

Senior A Review of Post Performances Through the years our Senior Band has built an outstanding record. For over ten years the band has been receiving A-6 ratings, the highest possible, at various contests in the state. In 1956, the band was included in the FIRST CHAIR OF AMERICA, a national music yearbook featuring the top bands of the nation. The band has always been well-received wherever it plays, both at home and throughout New York State. The band's 1963-64 season served to exemplify this fact. At Christmastime, 1963, the band presented a special program over the local television station, WKTV, in Utica, N. Y. This program was so well received that a similar program was presented this year. , Later in the 1963-64 season, the band performed in various places around Utica, including the Rotary Club and the Utica Memorial Auditorium's Jaycee Auto Show. The culmination of the 1963-64 season came in July when the band performed at the New York State Pa- vilion at the World's Fair. For the 1964-65 season, the band has been invited to play at the Canadian National Exposition and has also been invited to return to the Fair to play at the United States Pavilion. The band performs all types of music from Dixieland to the classical field. At its Spring Concert in May, 1964, the band received two standing ovations for its performance of Tchaikowsky 's OVERTURE 1812. Xf .5555 I , r x Practice makes perfect Our Swinging dance band
