Moving Up A Class I think Mr. Burdeaux is a very good band director because ... he is always trying to make us the best we can be. Tonia Goddard, sophomore. t was a first ... It was the first time in Arlington ' s history that the Golden Pride Marching Band took first place in class B and thus moved up to class A. This jump took place at the Los Altos field show which should have taken place on Wednesday, November 4, but actually took place Saturday, November 7, because Wednesday ' s performance was rained out. The band went all the way to their competition Wednesday and they were told the field show tournament was postponed to the following Saturday. The postponement obviously didn ' t hinder their performance. In another competition, after taking first in class C, the Golden Pride also moved to class B. At this competition at Sierra Vista, one of the buses broke down and the people on this bus had to get onto the Drill Team bus and motorhome. The band was able to take negative situations and create positive results. Band members had many things that they liked about this year despite the fact they had to use their free time for rehearsals and competitions. Jeremy Runyan, sophomore, explained, I didn ' t like all of the night rehearsals, but they did help us to place in the field show tournaments. The Golden Pride Marching Band had a fantastic season in spite of their challenges. They received nineteen awards for their marching and music capa- bilities. They came in first three times, second once, and third once. The band ' s marching sea- son seemed to prove two prov- erbs, It ' s always darkest be- fore the dawn, and every cloud had a silver lining. They made negatives . . . positives. by Robert Murray cero waits to perform in the football half time show at Ramona. Eric Lucero also plays for the RCC Tigers Marching Band.

Normal? Never! The newspaper is a lot of hard work, but the end result is worth the effort. Laurie Woodland, edi- tor of Mane Thing . BBHKBHKBBi lMnn.. Gray prepares the field to plant flowers. Part of the class requirement was to cultivate the acreage owned by Arlington. Just wait until it gets back to normal. After this, it ' ll be normal again. Does this sound familiar? Yes, during the long hours after school and sacrificing lunch periods, it was good to get back to normal, . . . until the next one. Groups like ASB, FFA, and Mane Thing had so much to do, 55 minutes just wasn ' t long enough. Vicky Dunsmore, a senior and a chapter reporter for FFA, explained, I spend five hours a week or longer. FFA was busy shearing sheep, hoeing small fields, and sold Christmas tapes as a fundraiser. ASB was occupied all year long. They sponsored the Mid- Winter Ball, Homecoming, Blood-Drive, lunchtime nooners and they announced the morning announcements everyday. Francine Melendez, president, stated, We also just try and make things fun for the students, but it takes me a cou- ple of hours a day. Mane Thing worked long hours after school to produce issues. I averaged about 25-30 hours a week working on the paper, but it depends on the size of the paper, and if I give up my conference period and lunch or not, described Mrs. Phyllis Muhleman, Mane Thing adviser. But the hard work proved to be successful, for in the 1987 year, Mane Thing won first place on a critique done by Columbia Scholastic Press As- sociation for newspapers. As well as these groups work, it isn ' t surprising how many hours go into it. The dedi- cation is there, waiting for that first normal day. by Christal Mozer [ li»li 3IUil )i » learn dyer uses the Mane Thing phone for information during 5th period.
