CHORAL CONCERTS Songsters Play To Appreciative Audiences The Fine Arts Department presented two concerts, spotlighting the various choral groups, in the first half of the school year. The fall concert was made up of the singing groups and a few numbers from the orchestra. Those choirs participating were the Apollinaires, the Madrigal Singers, the Mixed Chorus. A Capella Choir and the popular Male Quartet. Christmas Concert performers included all the above groups, plus the Concert Band, clarinet and rhythm section, and a brass ensemble. Songs in the concerts covered a wide variety. They ranged from the Apollinaires singing Maria from the film Paint Your Wagon to the Mixed Chorus with The Way We Were . The Winter Concert provided a chance for listeners to hear many of the old traditional Christmas carols. Both concerts were highly successful. Soloists and groups were outstanding, and the overflow audiences seemed thoroughly pleased. ABOVE: A Capolla choir performs at tho Fell Concert.

----------- HOMECOMING 1974 -------- Spirit Drops, But Tradition Holds On This year's Homecoming was the object of both hope and ridicule. The main question seemed to be, Why do we even bother with it? The reply was, Tradition. It was stated in a Scroll newspaper editorial, The spirit and pride in our school has gone down to absolute zilch. Homecoming princesses for the Oct. 25 event included Julie Hartung, Kandis Kelly. Lynn Walker, Jan Kelleher, Stacy Wright, Margret Doeneka, Carol Magagna. Linda Trapp and Mary Beth Berquist. Halftime events featured the Sunflares dancing to Grand Entry Swing March, played by the concert band. The princesses entered in chauffer-driven white convertibles and were met by escorts where they were taken to risers in the center of the field. Kandis Kelly was crowned Homecoming ruler for '74-75. Apollos put up a hard struggle but were defeated 46-19 by the Beaverton Beavers. Following the football game was a traditional after-game dance where Overload performed with rock sounds. Debbie Reed commented. There seemed to be an average crowd, and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. ABOVE: Homecoming princess Julie Hartung. Kandis Kelly. Lynn Welker. Stacey Wright.
