Band hits hi I1 note Music is very much alive here in Apache Junc- tion. We have many different kinds of music as well as people that are heard around our cam' pus. In the fall one can hear the sounds of band music flowing thru the air, on the way to the lunch area. These cheerful tunes are coming directly from the football stadium where the marching band is practicing for their halftime shows. There are some members of the band who work hard then go to state competition with their instruments and music and compete against other high school students in the valley. The band attends two band days each year, one at U of A and the other at ASU where bands from all over the state come and compete for ratings. The band received an excellent rating at'U of A. As well as doing halftime performances in the foll and competing against other schools for rat- ings, the band comtinues throughout the year to bring music to the ears of everyone who enters our campus. From accompanying the cheers and poms dur- ing pep assemblies to being a pep band at bas- ketball games, the band supports us, said Band Director Eugene Anderson.

'Curious Sa Vage 9 excites The students were doing an excellent iob, that was the easiest cast l've ever worked with, said Mrs. Edye Ruoho, Drama teacher. The play was entitled Curious Savage and washeld Nov. 18, 19, and 20 at 7:30 p.m. in room 5E, and the admission price was one dollar. The play was put on by the Drama Club, but was open to others not in the club. The Curious Savage was about a woman who was very wealthy and her family put her in a high class mental institution and then she finds out that the people in there were kinder than many people in society. She sent her family on a wild goose chase to find the money, which gave some hilari- ous times to the show, of course, she had hidden it in a very safe place. The play was put on so students could get a good experience and so people could see a play, laugh, and enioy them- selves, said Mrs. Ruoho. Students who acted in the play were: Cindy Kalinski, Doug Kalinski, Brian Hasty, Mary Johnson, Joan Burnap, Rhonda Rit- ter, Rusty McLouth, Mitch Vancura, Susan Nunn, Carol Tucker, and Mike Sanders. Stage crew members were: Linda Ben- nett, Jean Roberts, stage managers, Doug Kalinski, construction, Joan Sambulak, publicity, Cindy Tadevich, lighting, Ray Remen, sound, Cindy Kalinski and Alanta Lucas, costumes, Annette Merklin, make up, Danny Damiano, screen designer of the garden, and Evelyn Taylor handled props for the play.

Hiking Club back packs Walking and climbing up mountains and hills occupied the Hiking Club this year. The club gives its members a chance to get out in the open, to travel, and an opportunity to see things that they may never see again. All they needed was a canteen, a backpack, some boots or hiking shoes, and a iacket. The club was started when an inter- ested arose in the student body for an adventure where they can get involved with things in the outside world, to get away from everything and everyone, and a chance to have fun. Some of the things the Hiking Club did to raise money for their hikes was to have raffles, they sponsored a dance, they had barbeques at games, and they had bake sales, collected club dues, and had car washes. The Club sponsor, Roland Hune- macher, is very excited about the new club. Since this was the first year the club actually began, he's been really thrilled. He just wishes there were mem- bers that would stay in the club. Oak Creek Canyon, Mt. Lemmon, Tortilla Flats, Payson, and Hieroglyph- ics Springs were among the many places the group visited. The most memorable experience for President Cheryl Hamilton this year was to be able to watch Mr. Nunemacher fall in the water at Oak Creek Canyon. That, she says, was funny! ln the future, the Hiking Club will have more things, such as merit badges and other awards that will be given to the deserving people. Also, trips will be more distant, and the club will travel to more places. The club officers include President Cheryl Hamilton, Secretary Kendra McKinney, Treasurer Roland L'Heu- reaux, and Representative J. R. Harper. TOP LEFT - Soph. Jodi Seeman and Frosh.
