Fine Arts Produce Quality, Excellence Students enrolled in the SHS fine arts program may take a number of courses in the musical area. The Music Department offers students a chance to profit in many ways. Chorus challenges the student to master vocal control in the beginner and advanced classes Any student may join the Chorus which is divided into two groups — the advanced and the beginner, the more talented students may compete for the advanced chorus, which is composed mostly of seniors. Most of the students in the Orchestra have previous backgrounds in music. The students who want to be a part of the Orchestra begin taking the course in elementary school At the end of the senior year, these students will have had eight years of orchestral music. Band students start in the seventh grade. Forty or so students compose a Pep Band, which plays at basketball games. All students in the Band must know marching techniques. Usually the band has three concerts per year. They often enter state marching contests and attend spring festivals. The Band and Orchestra have traveled to Europe twice in the past and plan to travel there again this summer. 1 The Orchestra s Christmas concert drew many people 2.

Simulated Office Offered A new commercial class, Simulated Office, develops future leaders for selling, marketing, and distribution. Each student either holds a position or does a certain job in this imitation of a shipping business. Two persons act as general managers and insure the smooth order of all transactions. The traffic department finds needed transportation for the merchandise. The merchandise is sent by the warehouse and the shipping orders are returned by the order clerk in the sales. These are only a few of the chain of business that transpires in the course. Through this mock business course, students improve their leadership abilities and exercise their talents. This course is only one of the many courses taken by business students. For the person who knows what he wants to take in the commercial area, he may start as early as the tenth grade. By the time he is a senior, it is possible to have taken enough classes to qualify for a good job immediately after graduation. Faculty Academes 29
