The chorus grew in size from twen- ty-five to thirty-six in number and added modern music to their already long rep- ertoire. They have participated in all of Saguaro's spirit-making activities, by making a giant football out of chicken wire and papier mache, painting a huge sign which hung from the top of the auditorium, and selling big chocolate chip cookies at their bake sales. The girls can be seen wearing their gold and black jumpers during the informal part of the concert and on concert days to promote spirit. The chorus has performed around the valley, including singing at Thomas Mall, which was broadcasted over KBUZ radio during the Christmas Season. Under the direction of Mr. Kent Van Wagenen, the Sounds have had a very profitable year. Mr. Van Wagenen directed the first concert of the year. It was a fall presentation labeled a success.
