At 2:45 the final bell sounded the end of another day, save for some. the beginning of activities came for others. Students filed out of class to their lockers. Locker doors slammed signal- ing independence hour. The campus cleared out quickly as students rushed out to their cars. their bus, their route home. Cars sped out of the parking lot and buses pulled away. leaving a quiet hush over the school. The day was not over for those remaining behind. Serving their sen- tences for tardies, absences, and other misdemeanors, students reported to detention equipped with something to do they sat in the detention room pay- ing their debt for breaking the rules. Athletics were in full force after school. Whether it be football, basket- ball, wrestling, cheerleading, or any number of sports, our faithful athletes were always there. Teachers always seemed to be around helping students, giving makeup tests, or talking with other teachers. Journalism students stayed after struggling to meet their deadlines. Typewriters tapped, pencils scribbled. and last minute interviews were made. Drama class was an after school haven for actors and actresses. Ham- ming it up, they rehearsed their lines, and shaped their productions to perfec- tion. Soon the school clears and all its patrons go home. Darkness falls over the school. and the empty building sil- louetted in the setting sun. Il BONNA CUMMINGS. JUNIOR, helps in the play The Odd Couple.

Music, flags, halftime shows, produces 'The Prospectus Band' Boom goes the bass drum and the 1978 Prospector Band marches out on the foot- ball field. You've come a long way band from 1963 and 15 members to 1978 with a grand total of 70 members. With hope they will reach their goal of 100 to 120 members in 1979. Not only more members but facilities have and are changing. In 1979 there will be a big new band room. costing over S200,000 plus colorful new band uniforms. The band room is just getting too small for both members and all of the equipment, said Mr. Eugene Anderson, band director. Mr. Anderson has designed the struc- ture for the building. This facility will include a library, director's office, instru- ment storage room instrument repair room, and a uniform storage room. mak- ing a total of five rooms some of which will be sound proof for individual prac- tices. Officers of this organization are Presi- dent Sally Roberts, Vice President Janet Bennett, Secretary Robin Roberts, Senior representative John Taraborelli, Junior representative Keith Petticrew, Sopho- more representative Sally Bennett, and Freshman representative Kim Diulus. Mr. Anderson has been a band director for four years. He plays every instrument to an extent, but he specializes in brass and percussion. But all in all the band students enjoy music, the trips, the awards, and working together as a group, said Mr. Anderson. lj BAND TEACHES A person patience and increases your perseverance to achieve your goals. lt also gives a person a chance to gain more confidence in themselves. Band is a group activity as well as a very individual one said Cindy Kalinski. junior who plays the flute. 23 Chuck Parkhurst, sophomore, joined Band because it is exciting and competitive.
