In the traditional red and silver robe, Sue Londagin stands with Choristers. CHORISTERS' SEASON ne of the innovations in Choristers was the co- operation with the orchestra involving several major pieces. Performances were presented for Christ- mas and spring. The choir sang at the Thanksgiving assembly and the traditional Christmas program, which was given in the evening thus eliminating the afternoon student performance. Members sang for KVOR and KKTV as well as the Rotary, the First Bap- tist Church and other organizations. Also new to the group's schedule was the musical given in March. Choristers were involved in the State Competition for the second year. The Spring Concert was given in May, and the choir wound up the year with the spring tour, the destination of which is tra- ditionally a well-kept secret INTERMEDlATE CHOIR - FRONT ROW: Claudia Pettigrew, Marianne Snell, Eileen Pavlica, Janie Munson, Patti Davidson, Rosalie Guerrero, Rick Wanner, Scott Buzbee, Mark Sievers, David Kucera, Rita Miller.

FOUNDATION FOR INDIVIDUAL EXPRESSION magination and personality, the by-products ofthe art curriculum, were readily seen in the students' work with non-objective slab construction. Through this technique, the objective was developed from a flat slab of clay, which was cut and pieced together to fashion a work of art. lVlotivation stemmed from a problem presented by the student teacher, lVlr. Jack Palton of Adams State College. The goal of the pro- ject was to create a work that was visually pleasing and artistically unique. As well as the new media of stichery, fiberglas and acrylics, students involved themselves with monos prints, and intaglio and batik printing processes as well as with junk constructions, metal, wood and plas- ter sculpture, and throwing on the potter's wheel. Fre- quent bus trips to exhibits at the Fine Arts Center and occasional visits from guest speakers highlighted the year. 1 I ,,, Susan Morris practices techniques of lettering in fourth period art class, Brian West wields clay slabs to form a pyramid
