Juniors face seniors at Powderpuff game m 4 Above: Waiting on the sidelines, the juniors look forward to the prospect of another touchdown. Get rowdy! Get tough . . .! That ' s what the class of ' 84 did when they finally had their chance to participate in the annual Powderpuff game. The big night for the Junior Senior Powderpuff game was December 15. Many preparations went toward getting ready for the game: prac- ticing, fundraising, and buying the shirts. The junior girls who played went through much exercise and coaching to be in top shape for the game. Even though I didn ' t like the exercises too much, it really helped us tone up for the game, commented junior Effie Vassiliou. Besides practicing daily for three weeks, the junior players and officers spent two days holding a car wash at Wendy ' s on Highland Avenue to raise money for the shirts and pregame dinner at Lampost Pizza. Part of the money raised from the car wash went towards the purchase of the powderpuff t-shirts. The shirts were Spartan blue with black let- tering and design. The junior powderpuff cheerleaders were not to be brush- ed aside. Their enthusiasm and crazy antics all led up to a fun time cheering at the game. Cheerleaders Mitch Gunn and Chairat Pungaew both agreed it was an experience they won ' t easily forget, but would just as easily participate in again in their senior year. Said Chairat, We needed more time for practice, but it was fun. Joe Wilshire, another cheerleader, commented, It was great! It was very embarrassing, but I still had fun. The outcome of the game? The juniors did their best to break the seniors ' traditional victories, but lost 8-6. Stated one of the two quarterback ' s, Becky Carranza, It was a pretty rowdy game. Next year we ' ll win for sure, fairly.

Steve Csoto plays all that jazz Showcase After having played three years on the San Gorgonio marching, concert and jazz bands, Steve Csoto was looking forward to representing the Spartan music department for one more year. Steve has played the clarinet since fourth grade. I first started playing the clarinet just to get out of class, but it wasn ' t long before I really started get- ting into the music. After having already played the clarinet for four years, Steve decided to try the sax. The saxophone has been Steve ' s main instrument since he was thir- teen. Once I started playing sax, I really liked the sound. During his high school music career, Steve has perfor med in the Mt. Sac, Chaffey College, and Corona music tournaments with the jazz band. Last year, Steve was among those honored at the league regionals with the first place prize. Many other musicians have been instrumental in Steve ' s style of music (jazz). The big band sounds of Rob McConnell and Louie Belson were very in- fluential to Steve. I enjoy the tight ensemble sounds of the big band era. Matt Gatingube ' s bebop style has been Steve ' s biggest influence along with Charlie Parker. Besides playing the clarinet and saxophone, Steve ' s hobbies include bicy- cle riding, collecting comics, continuing teaching himself the piano, and of course listening to KKGO FM, a popular Los Angeles jazz station. I also listen to new wave and punk rock, groups like the Stray Cats and the Go Go ' s. After completing high school, Steve plans to major in music in college. He hopes to attend North Texas State University, Cal-State Northridge o r San Antonio University. I would like to someday form my own quartet or big band as a career.
