“We believe in music” The talented Rustburg chorus, directed by Miss Brown, entertains the student body at an assembly. “Hey, Mr. Brice — we have a pep rally and football game on Friday, and a parade on Saturday!” Aside from daily sixth period prac- tice, band members put in a lot of extra time after school, at football games, raising money, you name it! One thing’s for sure — the band never runs out of parades to march in or pep rallies to play for! Be it a Christmas parade, Homecoming pep rally or Spring concert, band members always have their instru- ments in tune, ready to unify with each other to entertain us. A beautiful voice is a true gift, one which no less than 22 students possess. Those talented people make up a chorus whose harmony is un- matched. Putting in hours of prac- tice, perfecting popular tunes, sing- ing sometimes for hours on end. All this, just to please us, and please us they do, performance after per- formance, from entertaining at as- semblies to holding special pro- grams. Our band, our chorus our pride and joy. Could there be a bet- ter reason to believe in music? With the help of his drum, Gordon Harris shows Phil Riddle and Tom Smith how to get a “little soul” into Band Class. Exercising his vocal cords in the chorus, Paul Lewis squeaks out another tune. Band Chorus 11

That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard of!” “Hey man, that should be a lot of fun — girls in our gym class!”’ Different and varied opinions about co-ed gym classes were scattered among Freshmen and Sophomores at first, but after a few weeks, underclass- men settled down and began to have second thoughts. “Those guys aren’t as rough as | though they’d be!”’ “Hey, girls aren’t such sissies after all.”” Even the traditional single-sex health classes were changed this year. Driver Education, too. Most ninth and tenth graders seem to have ad- justed easily to “the big change’”’. So, it must be true that as far as Physical Education is concerned, underclassmen have more fun. er ree Getting ready to “sock-it-to-it’, Cynthia Jones serves the ball in another volleyball game.
