Mixed chorus gives students an opportunity to expand in music. PlTOto by Wayne Jaclcon All eyes are on Joson Gronewold and Brad Campbell as they blend o sound of Christmas on the trumpet and tenor sax. Photo by Mrs. C The Jazz Combo: A new group was added to the music department. It was a jazz combo. This combo consisted of Fred Allen, senior, on the piano, Jason Gronewold, junior! on the trumpet. Brad Campbell, fresh- man, on the tenor sax, Bobby Hart, freshman, on the bass guitar, and Mike Higgins, senior, on percussion. I thought it was one of the neatest groups in Warsaw High School, and I thought it accomplished a great deal. I am glad they made it a class, stated Fred Allen, senior. They performed in such places as school assemblies, basketball games, and many contests. Not only did they play as a whole, but each one of them would play a solo, which lasted several bars. These solos introduced a new challenge to these students. When they would play their solo, they would im- provise. This was an art of making up his or her own melody, while the rest of the band accompanied them with back- ground chords. The improvisation hel- ped the student expand their playing ability. The jazz combo played a varied selection of music from slow jazz to snazzy jazz. A number of hours went into learning how to improvise. While most of it came naturally, there was still time needed to learn the pieces. A lot of time and patience went in to putting together the right people and just the right amount of talent to successfully have the group the jazz combo. S9

In content, the class was similar to on-the-job training. The students learned many valuable skills in building trades that would help in car- pentry related jobs. All the students of building trades built a house in Sedalia during December and January. The house was located at 20 and Beacon. Building trades was a very challenging class because much skill and hard work was required in building a house. Darrel Howard, junior, had no plans of making a career out of building trades but he believed that it was a good ex- perience to acquire for the future. It ' s a hard job that takes skill and lots of hard work, said Howard. Bobby Harris, junior, however, did plan to make a career out of what he had learned in building trades. I want to make building trades a career because building houses inter- ests me, said Bobby Building trades held many advantages such as acquiring skills for the future, learning, and job preparations. Planning and labor were among the many qualities required for building trades. Using building trades for a secondary skill to fall back on as a hobby could be very constructive In the future. 91
