Music is her life Showcase After practicing with the San Gorgonio Showgroup, one could find junior Terri Beeman at the house of Ann Moore, a Bulgarian voice teacher. Terri took two, two- hour lessons per week to enhance her singing ability. Terri had been singing in choirs since elementary school. It wasn ' t until her sophomore year in high school that she and her parents decided that she should start taking private lessons. Ann Moore helped Terri to nuture her voice slowly, and to allow Terri to develop her own style. Miss Moore was very adamant about not allowing Terri to tryout for local musicals. She felt that this would be damaging to a pupil ' s voice since most of these musicals didn ' t care about the individual ' s needs. Terri felt that it was very important to move slowly and build her voice gradually. With the help of her singing teacher, Terri was properly learning the art of singing. Sandra Dumas Kerrie Dyer Atrina Ellerbe Rochana Mike Eaton Nickie Elson Dunmeyer Shelley Eaion Juan Espinoza Troy Durham There was much more to Terri ' s lessons than just singing. Ann Moore required Terri and her other pupils to write music theories. This was so Terri could understand and appreciate the composer of the music she sang. The long hours of practicing really paid off for Terri in the spring of her sophomore year. She competed and won the Bach Festival. Terri was the youngest contestant in her group, so she really felt this quite an accomplishment. The winning of the Bach Festival put Terri into the regionals, which were a bitter disap- pointment for her. She didn ' t place in this competition. She said she had fun and that it was a great learning experience. Terri ' s plans for the future have not been entirely planned. She would like to attend Redlands University and attain a minor degree in music. Her greatest goal is to become an opera singer, but would be quite content if someday she could teach voice.

It ' s hard getting back into the hassle The atmosphere was high spirited on September 10, 1982, as summer vacation had more or less come to an end as it was registration day for San Gorgonio ' s returning class of 1984. After three months of vacation, students finally got to see all of their friends. Yet there was a sort of blank face on the students. Perhaps they were in awe because they couldn ' t believe they only had two years of high school left; or even a better excuse, for some weren ' t used to getting up before 1 1 :00. Following tradition, registration was held in the cafeteria and went smoothly compared to previous years. Lines weren ' t too long, so it didn ' t take much time for people to get in and out of line and back home to bed. After a summer of swimming, baseball, going to the beach, holding part-time jobs, and let us not forget sleeping in late, students looked forward to getting back, even though it meant not as much rest and relaxation, as Allyson Woolcott commented, I had a great summer and I ' m excited about school, but it ' s hard getting back into the hassle. If not the prospect of daily homework, students looked for- ward also to the many extracurricular activities at school and seeing their friends every day. Karen Penny, an active student at San G. said, I ' m glad to see all my friends and get back into clubs and activities. Brenda Snodgrass, who was hardly ever seen without her other half, Jane Singer, said, Without each other we would be completely lost in Chemistry. However, the most anticipated aspect of returning to good ole San G for the class of ' 84 was probably that they would be returning as juniors. Before we became juniors we thought being a member of that class would be a privilige because we ' d be con- sidered upperclassmen. Now that we ' re juniors, we realize we have always been the best because we ' re the class of ' 84! observed junior Kelly Aquino.
