For God and Country W ell, it's been a great year. Mr Jones started off the great year by introducing us to his three "c's", three goals which we tried to strive for. Concentration, Commitment and Care were our goals for the year. But, after a few weeks of school, we thought words like carelessness, cowards, and cheer were more appropriate. As usual, we started off the year with a busy schedule. Our first program was performed at the Harding University Lectureship, consisting of several popular hymns and spiritual songs. Two weeks later we bounced back and gave a great patriotic program. Mr. Jones' effort made our chorus a great one that evening. Mr. Jones, "we salute you". The fall tour was a big success. With country music on our minds, and patriotic music in our heart, we headed for Nashville, TN. We sang patriotic music at Opryland, and toured the Contry Music Hall of Fame. The 1986 Fall Tour was really a special time for all of us. New friends and many special memories were made along the way. This year's spring break was highlighted by not having a chorus trip. Instead, our spring tour was planned for May, the week after school was dismissed. We grew closer as we toured the Northern section of the United States and Canada. Chorus was the highlight of the year for many of us, and we will always cherish the memories that have been made. Of course, like all seniors, we wanted to make this year the best ever. We think we have accomplished that goal. Yes, there were some "not too good" performances, and maybe we didn't always get the "one" ratings that we wanted, but because of Mr. Jones' leadership and faith in Jesus Christ, we achieved something greater: becoming stronger Christians and perhaps getting closer to our main goal, going to heaven. We feel sure that many of us are closer to Jesus Christ because we were a part of the chorus. Thanks Mr. Jones, and all the members of the '86~87 Sr. High chorus for making our senior year the greatest!
