A new face in the music department was that of Mr. Greg Zielke, who directed chamber choir and mixed chorus. Upon graduating from Tabor College with a B.S. in music education in 1979, he went on to receive his masters degree from Wichita State U. During his college years, he studied voice, piano and horn and had the chance to tour Europe with the Tabor College choir. When asked why he chose a career in music, Mr. Zielke said, I wanted to teach music because I've always been interested in it. Not only did Mr. Zielke work with students during class, but he also gave private voice lessons. During class, choir members practiced scales and rehearsed for performances. Mr. Zielke's hobbies are playing tennis and listening to classical music. When asked how he liked Sabetha, Mr. Zielke replied, Moving to Sabetha was not a big change for me since I grew up in a small town. The only adjustment was being so far away from people I know. He also stated that he would like to stay in Sabetha and continue teaching. 29

Art Students Learn Many Things Art is a skill in making and doing. The art students of Sabetha High School learned many things this year. For instance, Art I learned how to stipple with ink. They also learned how to draw still life. Art II learned how to make modulars. The art projects class worked in many areas on their own. Art instructor Tom House graduated from Emporia State University with a B.S.E. Above: Bobby Kelly works on his wire sculpture. Right: Mr. House talks with a student.
