hoir high keyed, competitive From the elite Super Sixteen singers, to the Concert Choir, the Stroman Choir is a team. They shoo-be- do-da their way into everyone ' s heart. The choir performs many shows throughout the year. They usually perform a fifties song and dance routine at a pep rally. Besides performing at the pep rallies, the choir also attends many serious competi- tions. Some of these competitions include District, Regional, and State competitions. This year was the first year ever for two peo- ple from Stroman to make all-state choir. The two receipents are Charles Marshall and Jessica Milligan. Mar- shall was the first male to make the all-state choir in all the years at Stroman. It makes me feel very honored to be the first guy because this is a very important competition, said Marshall, sophomore. This is my first year being a member of the choir, and I knew I had to work really hard, he added. This year was also an exciting one for the two time all-state choir winner Jessica Milligan. It takes a lot of dedication, said Milligan. It is an honor since this is my second year. I am go- ing to try really hard next year, and go for three, she added.

F.C.A. is not really what people think it is cut out to be, said Madeline Mendieta, senior. We not only have spiritual devotions, but we have other outings as well, she added. We are planning to have a picnic at the end of the year, ' ' said Lydia Hobbs, senior. I am really looking forward to it, she added. I ' ve been in F.C.A. since around the beginning of school this year. Coach Barnard is the one who really got me in it. He cares about people a lot, and I ' m glad he ' s got the guts enough to keep us going. It ' s a chance to talk about what most peo- ple would call ' religious stuff , but hey ... we learn a lot, whether it ' s through talking about other ex- periences, reading the Bible, or hear- U ing guest speakers. I hope more peo- ple join in the future; 1 know they ' d like it. It ' s a great way to keep your week going, and there aren ' t any dues. Rebecca Wilhelmsen Boys FC A Back. Glen Filla. Lee Barnard.

There is no real way to tell how I feel inside about Choir. Singing is not a talent that you create, it ' s something that you are born with. There ' s so many ways to describe choir — supportive, fun, challenging and competition are just a few. Competitions were fun, and some of the trips, but if one of us didn ' t do well, everyone was kind of down. But, pretty soon someone would get some music going and everyone would join in and sing. Looking back on all the memorable days, concerts, and spring trips brings tears to my eyes. 1 am proud to say that I am and always will be a part of the Stroman Choir.
