Typing I classes were taught the basics of using a typewriter. Many students took this class so they would have some knowledge about a typewriter and how to use it cor- rectly and quickly. l took typing l because l want to be able to use the skills l will learn in class for typing up term papers. Being able to type might even help me get a job later mounting to something on, said Christie Phillips, sopho- more. In fashion merchandising and sales and marketing, this was the first year students could take the class for only one credit instead of having a job and taking the class for two credits. Students enrolled for two credits, worked for a minimum of ten hours a week for a grade. The students prepared for fashion shows and fields trips during class. By taking these business related classes students became well equipped to plan and face the fu- ture. - Business, DECA

These practice sessions were the forerunners of evening exhibitions. Halftime entertainment included selections from A Chorus Line along with various feature tunes for the flag corps, twirler, drum line and the drill team. As the year pro- gressed and marching season came to a close, the concert band and orchestra entered the spotlight. Juniors and sophomores finished the school year by playing at the senior graduation ceremony in May. Ken Carlyle. senior, stated, Though the band is slightly smaller than last year, l think everyone can agree that we are a closer-knit group. On another note, the orchestra members combined with selected band students performed at con- certs during the year. Music isn't just the notes, words were also needed to create a mood or feeling. This year vocal music, consisting of show choir, mixed chorus, glee club and sophomore chorus spent much class time work- ing toward performances and com- petitions. Show choir and mixed chorus participated in several cho- reography workshops. Vocal students worked toward the dinner theater and school musi- cal hteld in late February. Many talented music artists, in- cluding Band, Orchestra and Vocal students worked improving their skills for honor organizations. Hold that poise.
