Talented band members perform at Hula Bowl and Parade of Stage Bands One hundred and twenty students, fifty-five of whom are in the Advanced Band, formed the highly spirited band pro- gram. Mr. Suesz, returning for his second year, directs this mass of musical geniuses along with the help of Br. Reeves, who holds the new position of Band Moderator. The 1976-77 student officers were Dean Arashiro, President; John Wong, First Officer; George Jacang, Second Officer; and Daniel San Miguel, Third Officer. Steve Van Sciver was librarian. Providing the music which is the backbone of Monarch spirit, the band could easily be spotted at many of the foot- ball and basketball games. In addition, Christmas and Spring concerts highlighted the year. At the Thirty-first Annual Hula Bowl Damien was represented by Ian Bourg, Jeff Chung, Keith Kaya, and Jay Masuda, all of whom were considered experienced enough to play in the Hula Bowl Band. Damien also participated in the Parade of Stage Bands, a state-wide musical competition. During the sec- ond semester it was felt that with the increased size of the band a dynamic new idea could be incorporated into the program. So, for the first time in the school's fifteen- year history, a marching band was begun here at Damien. It is a great step and a meaningful one because being able to keep in step and play harmoniously takes a terrific amount of self-discipline.

Pep Club keeps school spirit high We showed as much spirit as we could, to patch up the school's lack of spirit, stated Vernon Stacy, chair- man of the Pep Club. Stacy, along with co-chairman Randy iMatsunaga, who headed the committee of fifty-five members, boasted ninety-five percent attend- ance at games. Among the events sponsored by this club were the sale of basket- ball and football ribbons, which were designed by students who participated in last year’s ribbon design contest.
