Groups Composed of Dedicated Students In addition to all the hours the choir puts in, there are two other groups who work very hard. The students who are members of the Sr. Ensemble and those who try out for All- State are very dedicated and spend a lot of extra time prac- ticing. The Sr. Ensemble prepares a special presentation for both the Christmas and Spring Concerts in addition to their contest music. At the District Choral Festival at Gadsden State Junior College, the Sr. Ensemble received a superior rating. The group attended the State Choral Festival in May. Choir students began practicing for All-State at the be- ginning of school and auditioned at Emma Samson High School, in Gadsden, in February. There were 29 choir students chosen from our school to participate in the Alabama All-State Festival For Chorus and Orchestra. Melissa Frady was chosen District Outstanding Choral Student and was able to audition for the State position at the festival. This year's festival was held March 23-26. 1 — Officers — D. Holcomb,).

28 Prom '88 Decorating for the prom was on thetoDof the juniors' priority list tor the fhorning of the prom. Due twIBp ipcation of the prom at the Holiday Inn the juniors were not able to begin the actual decorating until 8 o'clock Sat- urday morning. Many weeks be- fore the prom were spent pre- paring what decorations that could be prepared ahead of time. Many juniors could be found with red sore fingers from curl- ing ribbon and tying balloons. Miniature masks were hand- made for each student attending the prom and placed on the wall so that the students could take them home for souvenirs. The junior sponsors worked very hard to see that the prom was the best one yet. The juniors were dedicated to making Mas- querade '88 a very special eve- ning. Many hours of diligent work was put forth and it all paid off when the work was done and the decorations were beautiful. 2 1 — Christi Auffant collects helium balloons to release on the ceiling for a beautiful effect. 2 — Mindy Gearhardt, Ashley Kelley, and Kelly Mount take spe- cial care in their decorating of the refreshments area. 3 — Mrs. Hedgepath, Mrs. Morris, Ms. Eaton, and Mrs. Mountain worked extra hard to put together a great prom. 4 — Kasey Sims and Stacy Smith proudly stand under the display of the prom theme.
