New rules affect choir's program The new grading system affected many students as far as participation in extracur- ricular activities was con- cerned and choir was no ex- ception. Some choir activities had to be cancelled due to the new no pass-no play rule. Even the Spring tour fell victim to failing students according to Don Massey, choir director. There were 45 members in the two choirs, Mixed Choir and Girls Show Choir, both directed by Massey. The groups performed several times during the year and presented a fall concert and a Christmas concert. The choir members also continued their tradition of carroling in Christmas holidays. The Girls Show Choir received II's, excellent ratings in sightreading com- petition. Junior Tasha Baum received a I, a superior rating, in solo competition. Choir President Ronda Hudson, junior, received the Who's Who Award in Choir. Other officers were Baum, vice president, Gwen Barksdale, secretary, Kim Martinez and Karen Huff, librarians, and Cindy Thorn- ton, Kim Barnett and Kevin Castello, Student Council representatives. Commenting on his job as choir director, Massey said, Its great! I love it!

Brian Bucher, senior, won with a watercolor project and Jodi Buuck, junior, won with a per- macolor pencil drawing.

The group's emphasis was on scholarship and service to the school and community. NAHS members assisted with spon- soring and hosting many of the exhibits and competitions that were held for local art classes. Members of NAHS also participated in a National PTA Reflectionsl' pro- ject, an annual contest. Each year the project has had a different themeg this year the theme was What Sparks My Imagination. The students could enter any two-dimensional project. Entries were judged on originality, creativity and applicability to the theme. Local high school winners included Paula Dunigan, juniorg Christi Jones, sophomoreg Buuck and Bucher.
