i QDX Learning A New Culture A new teacher, Mrs. Kim D'I-Iont, brought with her a new language, Spanish. Spanish names were given to each student in the class. The music, writing, lifestyle and cus- toms of Spain were studied, in addition to learning the language. Projects such as, making pinatas and designing floor plans using Spanish words, helped students get used to using the Spanish style and lan- guage. Mrs. D'Hont also taught a few other classes.

awww' Students Learn B Mr. Brian Boyer kept busy this year by teaching the two classes with deadlines - Journalism and Publications. The use of a new Apple computer helped both classes design layouts faster then they could be- fore. The Ranger Press, the school paper, was handed out to the students in school. The staff also produced an entire page in the Prevailer, Hill City's paper. Doing The Publications class produced both an elementary and high school annual along with Once Over Lightly, a collection of artwork and poems by students. Mr. Boyer also taught two English classes. Senior Composition students learned the different types of essays and how to write them properly. Literary works of English writers were studied in British Literature.

Band Has Excellent Year This year was Mr. john Earley's second year as band director at Hill City. The band performed for Christmas and Spring con- certs, the graduation ceremony and at home football and basketball games. They also played in Jazz Festivals in Chadron and Spearfish. Troy Bittner held the first chair basoon in the All-State Orchestra - a first in the history of Hill City. For the first time in twenty years, two members of our band played in the All-State Band, Paul Schultz and Troy Bittner. Money raised by selling pizzas and stuffed animals went toward a band trip to Colorado Springs. The band was excellent this year and its members should be proud of their achievements. mix un- W ' 1n.,.r ' W' -q--N., '-.,,,, 'FQ x.: Members of the High School Band are iBack Rowj Kevin Miles, Jason Krah, Mike Hughes, john Geiman, Paul Schultz, Alanna Litch, Sue Ross, Tamela Crisman, Casey Nelson, Greg Lee and Todd George, QMiddle Rowj Sonja Novy, Tina Schiefer, Steph Moke, Heidi Peterson, .Eli IIIAMA man, Shane Swedlund, RJ.
