RIFFE: This year SHS boasts three choruses composed of students in grades 7-12. The combined choirs have performed a fall con- cert, a Christmas concert, as well as a pops concert and the Annual Spring Concert. Chorus provides much musical ex- perience for the students and a chance to perform and enjoy music. The choirs have participated in the SHS Splurge and the Festival of Arts. Small ensembles are pulled from the Senior chorus and they perform for local clubs, etc. Through choral music the lives of the students are truly enhanced. That's how a sponsor describes it. But kids are a bit more brief with their descriptions. They say things like fun, and great , And, for years, guys have looked down on the male members of the chorus, but what can you say when the presi- dent is an All-District linebacker? With growing numbers, promising underclassmen and a brilliant director, the future looks bright. But the present is a hard act to follow. Chorus Officers, L-R-Chuck Davis-President, Brian Keith-Vice President, Delsie Showalter-Secretary, Rita Bean-Treasurer, Sonya Link and Torrie Maxey-Librarians. 53

This includes the addition of a 22-member flag corps, singled out for its rapid progress by an instructor of the Eastern Band Front Camp this past summer.
