WILDCAYS Dancing excels with Lassie pride Although the Lassies have been a tra- dition for years, they have not remained the sarne. Their outfits have evolved from the blackwatch plaid knee length skirts of 1963 to the red plaid six inches above the knee skirts of today. Now three cuts and many perform- ances later, of the 300 girls who tried out, only 64, the largest number ever, remain. Lassies help promote school spirit as well as entertain by performing at half time. The Lassies were led this year by Captain Nancy Murphy and Co-captain Debbie Rothbard.

Golden-throated choirs lead TR in song The Christmas Concert and the Spring Festival are only two of the many per- formances in which TR choir members participate. These two presentations fea- ture all Z5O choir members, but each in- dividual choir participates in many festi- vals and clinics throughout the year. Girls Glee Club travelled to the Uni- versity of Illinois for a concert. Sopho- more Choir participated in a series of exchange concerts with several schools. Freshman Choir performed at the Dis- trict bi-annual vocal festival. Chorale journeyed to warm New Orleans for their annual Spring tour. All the hard work and practice put in by every choir member was rewarded by the enjoyment his music brought to many. Top Right: Girls Glee Club sang a variety of songs at the Christmas concert.
