we-as -Q ,, dl 4. Stan Lubeck, pastor of Quail Lakes Baptist, discusses the organization ol Lincoln High's Christian club. 5. Remote control cars come in many different styles, such as the RC-10, the Frog, and the Grasshopper. V a i' N. 4 52 07' 134' We gf Club make changes for year New clubs and changes in old ones seem to have been the trend for the year. Two examples are the Radio Controlled Car Club and People Reaching Out lPROl. The Radio Controlled Car Club was started because l had several students, along with myself, inter- ested in the cars, said Adviser Ken Knowles. The club, like a workshop, was designed to assist students having trouble with maintenance, building, and other technical aspects of the radio-controlled cars. Also discussed were area racetracks and competi- tions. We looked forward to building an outdoor dirt track on campus, with the assistance of the agriculture department, said Mr. Knowles. Not only did Damascus l change its name to PRO, it also changed advisers. Roberta Smith, home economics teacher, assumed the role as adviser. We hoped to be very active on campus. The basic idea of the club was to reach out and invite other students to share the meetings with us, said Mrs. Smith. PRO a Christian club, but that did not scare people off. Members remained faithful by attending meetings every Friday, and by de- vising better ways to strengthen themselves through God. by Andy Andris photos by Steven Chesley PROXRC Club

LQ? Concert choir add variety o program By participating in concerts and festivals, as well as an operetta, Concert Choir had a busy and prosperous year. During the month of December, Concert Choir analyzed the perfor- mance piece Medieval Mystery Cycle. They studied vocal produc- tion, the styles, and the historical background of the medieval period then applied their knowledge to performance practices in order to make their performances more au- thentic. Choir students also performed the operetta The Reluctant Dragon which contained no speaking parts. The music is often dissonant containing many notes that cluster and clash, making this piece a challenge for the choir and so- loists, said Cassie Reutlinger, choir director. By adding tricky rhythms and an orchestral accompaniment, Mrs. Reutlinger thought they had ac- complished, by performance, an outstanding piece of choral litera- ture. All of these activities promoted the education of choir students by teaching students how to sing and to show them what they were singing about. Every student in the ensemble was outstanding, contributing his own individuality to the ensemble as a whole, said Mrs. Reutlinger, Some may have better sight- reading or music reading ability while others contribute better tone quality or diction, so that the whole was definitely a sum of its parts. The choir also had a chance to show its abilities at the choral festi- vals held the last week of April and early May. According to Mrs. Reut- linger, each choir prepared three contrasting songs for adjudication and participated in the sight-reading contest. by Kathryn Kiszlowski photos by Mike McMurry T? 1 if H' Q9 4 Q. . at l ' fi . s.
