The chorus boys “swab the deck” for Miss Crystle as they perform “A Whale of a Tale. Chorus 169 Chorus Lives In Miss Crystle’s Magic Kingdom “Are you going to take chorus this year?” “No, I don’t think so.” “Come on man, It will be fun.” “O.K., but I better like it.” This was the conversation heard be- fore many people ever decided to step into Miss Crystle’s chorus room. Although many joined on this basis, there were no regrets. Chorus was packed with excite- ment, and there was always something going on. Even Miss Crystle had to work with a busy schedule. She had enrolled in F.S.U. and had to go to Tallahassee every morning be- fore coming back to school to teach her own class. This had both good and bad effects. Miss Crystle had to study when she had a big test coming up. On the other hand, when no one wanted to work, she would tell the class to get on the ball. “If you think you have it rough, wait until you get into college.” Between Miss Crystle’s classes and everyone else’s ex- tracurricular activities, the class managed to put on fine shows. The first exhibition was at the Square in Quincy at Christmas time. Several chorales caroled on the Court- house steps. Mr. Bevis gave a speech to fit the occasion of the lighting of the Courthouse. The second show was the Christmas Vespers. The Munroe Chorale shared the stage with church choirs. The practice went on for months before. Christy Hill and Ram- sey Curry were always run- ning off sheet music in the of- fice and Bill Higdon was creating a musical disturbance with the new instruments. Even with the distractions, the Vespers was one of the best ever. The grand finale was May- day. This involved not only singing but dancing as well. The chorale boys sang “Davy Crockett” and “A Whale of a Tale”. The girls vocalized “He’s a Tramp” and So This is Love.” The final entourage consisted of the elementary and high school chorus mem- bers singing “It’s A Small World”. Members of the Mick- ey Mouse Club divided up and led the younger chorus mem- bers in the grande finale that simulated a kaleidoscope.

Going For The Challenges Opens Doors With the new sponsor, Woody Hildebrant, and President, Cory Hill, Key Club projects were nev- er ending. Gil Chason headed up a com- mittee to work on the first proj- ect, which was to mount a bul- letin board in the auditorium. The boys breathed a sigh of relief as the last screw was turned, but the work wasn’t over yet. They then had to find people to change the announcements. Coach Hildebrant found a quick solu- tion to this problem by deciding that anyone who ate with the Ki- wanis Club had to change the an- nouncements. Eating with the Kiwanis club was one of the benefits of Key Club, and the boys were always trying to get a meal of steak, spa- ghetti, or barbecued chicken. When Coach Hildebrant found out how good the food was, he decided that bulletin board du- ties were not enough, so he added the job of handing out chicken and sandwiches on Tuesday and Thursdays. The next project was the Blood Drive. Coach Hildebrant’s ideas never en- ded, and teachers from one end of the school to the other were asked to donate. All the blood given was donated to the Robert F. Munroe account, and anyone in need of blood who was associated with the school could draw from the account. The Key Club held their an- nual Faculty-Key Club basket- ball game, and were beaten once again. Although the club lost, they still came out on top by donating $300 to the Pres- ton Spooner Memorial Fund. The Key Club was always thankful for the help given by their sponsors, the Kiwanis Club. In order to show their thanks, they helped Kiwanis deliver the fruit which they sell every year, and also helped out on the annual Ki- wanis softball tournament. The Key Club was more ac- tive than ever, and was always there to lend their helping hands. Becoming more service oriented gave an added dimen- sion to the value of being a responsible part of the commu- nity.
