Students Gain Spirit From Dedicated Faculty The 1965-66 school year saw many new additions and changes to the Harrison faculty and staff. Foremost among these was the addition of our new principal, Mr. William T. Pritchett, who so successfully took the reins to lead us through another year of growth and achievement. Also new were Mrs. Genc Anderson, freshman counselor who came to us from Bosse, and IVIrs. Barbara Barnes, coun- selorsT secretary. Mrs. Barnes stepped in as the counselorsT secretary when Mrs. Lou Wright took over in the assistant principalTs office for Miss Marilyn Wilson, who left early last fall. The new members of the faculty learned quickly of the overall sense of participation in school functxons and soon joined the ranks of those already experienced in the Warrior spirit.

Sixteen members of Harrisonys orchestra and fourteen members of Harrisonis band represented the school in Evans- villeis All-City Orchestra and Band. Under Mr. Donaldsonis leadership, the Harrison concert and marching band enter- tained at half-times of football games and pep assemblies with the pep band playing at basketball games.

David Locker, senior, and Judy Rice, junior, were selected soloists for the Evansville Philharmonic Youth Concerts. Chosen to tour Europe this summer with the School Orches- tra of America was violinist Jeri Ryan, junior. Mr. Brad Chaffin directed the choirs at Harrison, includ- ing a new hand-bell choir. The concert choir gave tradi- tional Thanksgiving and Christmas programs and traveled to the feeder grade schools, hoping to show talented young- sters the possibilities Harrison has to offer. The concert Choir and tTAccentsi, each performed special programs during the year. The concert choir sang a complete Mass in Latin while the iiAccentsii performed itA Christmas Carol? Nine students of the Art Department, under Mr. Noble Hart, received ribbons or honorable mention in the Vander- burgh County High School Art Show.
