Choir I The vocal music program, under the direction of Mrs. Florene Schauer, has had an active year of performances. The swing choir began the year with a performance for the district women’s club at Trinity Church. The light-hearted songs, accompanied by choreographed movements were well accepted by the group. In November forty West Point Choristers attended the 1980 East Husker Conference Vocal Clinic. This year the clinic was hosted by Scribner and the concert contained a well rounded program of classical and contemporary songs. The Christmas Concert, presented on December 22nd, was indeed a Christmas Celebration. Featured in the concert were both the swing choir and the concert choir. The program ended with a special medley of songs, combining both the band and the choir. At the February 19th “Winter Concert”, the concert choir performed some of the songs that were done at vocal clinic as well as others for an enthusiastic, but small audience. Perhaps the spring-like weather made “Winter Concert” a deceiving title for this performance. The choir was fortunate this year in having two of its Seniors selected to participate in the prestigious All-State chorus. They were Joe Hendricks and Pam Echtenkamp. Music 29

When You Are Young When you are young you dream of growing up. You plan and scheme of love and how you will be a baskeetball star or a cheerleader. You daydream instead of studying and wish you were there. Then you become a teenager, well on the path of being a grown-up. They give you adult reasons for childish pranks, and say you’ll understand when you have teenage children of your own, you only laugh and say that’s twenty years away. But then you realize you are there. That you are responsible fordeicsions on whether to follow your dreams or live in reality. When you are young you can’t wait for your diploma so you can show the world.But now, you realize you might not be president and you know that as they shake you hand and give congratulations you’re through, you made it. Although you swore that you wouldn’t, you cry when you say, “Goodbye, Keep in touch and good luck.” A single tear rolls down your cheek because you’ll miss those high school days. As you walk out your childhood door into the adult world these days are only memories. —SRD Jr. High 7th Seventh graders are special!
