Keith Davis wonders who took his music this time! Malone is aJive with the sound of music Under the direction of Mr. Dallas Frandsen, the A Capella Choir practices five days a week and sings songs from medieval masses to contemporary pieces. Mr. Larry Groves, director of the 51 voices in the Mixed Chorus is making a return engagement from his first appearance in the music department as a student teacher, two years ago. The chorus performs at both winter and spring concerts with the A Capella Choir . The pep band and high school band are conducted by Mr. Wilbur Geary. The band also plays at outside pep rallies and assemblies. The orchestra members have Mr. Keith Davis as their director. Each year the band and orchestra com- bine their efforts to present two concerts for the public. A recent musical class. Introduction to Music, is under the supervision of Mr. Frandsen.. During the course of the year, students expand their knowledge of all types of musical history. Patience is Mr. Groves. Sit up, fill your diaphrams, and let's sing. Let's see, W-I-L-B Mr. Geary has a mental block. Education 24

Mr. Crucible I Still don't understand my Pastika! Sharon Osmundson is all mixed up. The name of the game is physics, but Bill Somero and Jeff Norsted don't think so. Mission: Impossible Science is always a popular department at VHS. This field is divided into Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. Biology is the study of living organisms; plus the various laws of genetics, heredity, and evolution. Chemistry, under Mr. Pastika and Mr. Westlund, deals mainly with the structure, and properties of non-liv- ing matter. Inhaling freshly burnt sulfur, making min- iature explosions, watching the colorful chemical reac- tions, and later trying to figure out what was going on in the experiments keep the lab exercises interesting. Physics, guided by Mr. Somero, helps students learn about the physical properties of nature and how to work with them mathematically. The experiments and labs closely tie in with the lectures so that students can better comprehend the laws and formulas that make up physics. Education 23

Language is the key to the world Bonjour! Hola! Wie Gents! Language has become a more popular subject in to- day's high schools. Our school offers French, Spanish, and German. People are travelling more and knowing a language helps a great deal. Miss Korpy says, Language is fun because it is so different from the other subjects. It gives the students a chance to broaden their horizons and open their eyes to the rest of the world which is waiting for us with open arms. Au Revoir! Adios! Auf Wiedersehen! Ellen Korpy is disgusted with the papers she is correcting. Peter Moberg looks over Mr. Frandsen's shoulder puzzled. It might Mrs. Proznik has another interuption in her French class, look better if you turn it right side up! Education 25
