Helping to keep the spirit alive at football and basketball games is the job of the PEP BAN Pep Band: a group of approximately 15-20 members of the Marching Band land one seventh-grade drummerj who cheers the football team on at away-games and the basketball team on at home-games. The Pep Band plays familiar tunes such as the Fight Song and Go Green Go to either help cheer the team on when they score, or to get the team out of a rut when they haven't scored in a while. The purpose of the Pep Band is to help lead the football and basketball teams on to victory. At halftime, after the cheerleaders and Drill Team have finished, the Pep Band uses the left-over time to entertain spectators with some of the mar- ching music, such as Maniac or Son of a Preacher Man. The Pep Band had a very successful year this year under the leadership of co-captains Hillary Fink and Iulie Howell. Buttons were ordered and delivered to each Pep Band member in time for the basketball season so that people would know who the band members were. Also, at it almost every basketball game, there was a theme, such as Hat and Shades or College Sweatshirts, which described how each member should dress. There is no theme for the away-football gamesg in- stead, it was a kind of contest to see who was able to dress the warmest! The band traditionally end- ed their successful season with a Gourmet Dinner of pizza and soda at Mr. D's house. Look! Even the instruments get into the spirit of Pep-Band. This time the theme was Hat and Shades. 'k I juniors Mike Iensen and Charlie Hudson discuss what song they can play as a duet to entertain the spec- tators during a time-out. 168 PEP BAND Senior Karen Domencetti, known for playing strange solos at basket- ball games, takes a moment to think through a popular melody before putting it through her instrument.

The Harborfields Helping Teacher Program began last year, giving students an oppor- tunity to legally leave school Q grounds and walk across the street to TIL during their lunch and! or free period to assist one of the teachers in his or her classroom. The program was started for three reasons. One reason is that, within the next few years, there is expected to be a great demand for teachers, and Mr. Ryan, the coordinator, and Mr. Garvey want students to get experience in teaching and to acquire an interest in teaching as a career. The second reason is to give teachers at TIL assistance in the classrooms. The third reason is to give students an opportunity to give service to the community. .-1' Kei Sochi listens attentitvely to Mr. Ryan during a meeting. ' STUDENTS HELP TEACHERS While at TIL, students have the opportunities to both get to know a teacher better and to work with children. Sometimes, the student-teachers help the children with homework while, at other times, they either help the children with an art project or read them a story. Working at TIL is a very en- joyable and rewarding ex- perience for the both the Help- ing Teachers and the teachers at TIL. HELPING TEACHER PROGRAM 169
