DANCE ORCHESTRA This year our dance orchestra stepped into the spotlight as one of the more active organizations in the school. It has traveled to: Alma, Fowler, Ithaca, Ovid, Carson City, and other places playing for everything from J-Hops to hard time dances. Under the capable direction of Mr. john Adams it is the best that Rodney B. has seen in a long time. Of the thirteen reg- ular members seven, including the vocalist, are seniors. 80

They have studied a wide repertoire of songs, both sacred and secular. Kathryn Summers and Ardene Deibert have been the accompanists for the entire year. Although at times the rehearsals seemed tiresome, the mem- bers of the chorus were faithful. The noticeable approval of the programs erased the memory of the tiresome rehearsals. The chorus made several appearances this year. A Christ- mas program and the operetta My Wild Rose was given. The chorus sang for Baccalaureate and for various church do- ings. Several members went to the Solo Festival in Lansing. All of these things have helped to make this a successful year for the chorus. L Q? Z' - t i A
