Specialized Choirs Weave Spirit-Filled Melody With eyes trained on the gesticulations of Mr. Oldham, the Girls' Choir prepares to sing Ride in the Chariot. .. Q, A Concentrating on religious and spiritual works, 63 songsters constituted A Cappella Choir, while 43 Girls' Choir members combined in singing selections especially written for female voices. Blended with Chorale, the two groups performed a fall concert on October 24. The advent of Yuletide season stirred A Cappella to vigorous rehearsal for Christmas vespers. Accompanied by a harp, these robed vocalists presented A Ceremony of Carols, an old English composition of 11 songs. Tableaux created and enacted by Girls' Choir enhanced appropriate moods. An early spring recital began the new year for both classes. Soon afterward, select ensembles tra- veled to Kansas University in Lawrence for the annual music contest. Judges there evaluated quali- ty, originality, and interpretation of these condi- tions. Appearing in the lVlay Patio Concert, each choir entertained an attentive audience under the bridge. The program's grand finale brought all voices to- gether in a moving hymn of patriotism. l A Cappella Choir-Front row: Debi Godwin, Roxie Barn- cord, Marcia Powers, Karen Larson, Margo Walker, Norma Yates, and Marsha Jennings: Row 2: Lynn Boyer, Carolyn Barr, Selma Beatty, Karen Garrelts, Kirsten Schmidt, Cara Stiles, and Violet Russell, Row 3: Jim Phillips, Ken Staley, Debby Berkley, Grace Riege, Kyle Thomas, Margaret Brooks, Randy Innes, and John Lindahlg Row 4: Darrel Yaktino, Kathy Henry, Tim Mehl, Mark Trast, Roger Ulm, Jeff Rich- man, Randy Fruits, and Charlie Bowers.

FTA, Artists Prepare For Varied Vocations Within the framework of Future Teachers' Club, prospective educators executed many of the tasks and responsibilities of the teaching profession. Tak- ing roll, typing dittos, and grading exams, students acquired deeper insights into the diversified aspects of teaching. Speakers, including West's instructors and counselors, related past experiences and offered information concerning college requirements. At the chapter level of a state and national network, club members attended an October workshop held for officers and a spring convention in Topeka presided over by Kansas FTA president, Viking Gary Click. The Art Service Club, led by Debbie lVlcDaniel, painted posters and advertised club activities for a fee. Also, members designed, printed, and sold pennants to boost school spirit. With the money earned from these projects, the students purchased pictures for the gallery of artwork opposite the art rooms in the southwest wing.
