Off and ringing

H andbells? Some people are
not sure what this means. For
the uninformed, handbells is
a class offered at South in the
Department
and
Music
taught by Ms. Mary Lou Jackson. Students
enrolled in the class learn how to ring hand­
bells to create the beautiful sounds which
can come from them.
There are two levels of handbell classes:
beginning and advanced. Both perform in
school and occasionally outside at various
functions.
The handbell is a delicate instrument
and in order to handle them accordingly,
the students wear gloves while performing.
Dawn Foreman, a member of the ad­
vanced group, says the class is "exciting."

Beginning Handbells: Charity Sawatzki, Michelle Synowiecki, Shannon
Locke, Tammy Carroll, Theresa O'Hare, Shannon Jackson, Demetria De­
Leon and Sid Smith.

Mrs. Mary Lou Jackson concentrates hard to make the handbells sound just
right.

Advanced Handbells: Kristi Ruckman, Sherry Griger, Alysia Clary, Lisa
Lakin, Christy Ziskovsky, Jennifer Koterba, Shannon Locke, Dawn Fore­
man, Michelle Fruge and Eddie Ellison.
