An Artistic Beginning new and different club that started last year was the Art Club. Sheldon Koester, the ad- visor, said, It was probably a sugges- tion by Karen Husted. Before I even started to work here, she thought it would be nice to have an art club. Koester said that although the club wasn't very organized yet, there were about 15 members so far, and there would probably be more. He said that they didn't have very many specific ac- tivities planned yet, but that the club was working on banners for the El Con Art Show near Christmas time. One of the reasons for having the Art Club is to set up art shows, like the one here at school each year, said Koester, who also wanted to have shows of student art in museums. As fund raisers, the club hoped to paint store windows for the holidays, and set up a program to provide posters, displays, and signs for teachers who didn't have the time or capability to make them. Koester, also an art teacher, was in his second year of teaching. He liked teaching art since he liked to work with young people and of all the things that surround you, art is the only one that A Members of the Art Club found relaxa- tion in working together. surrounds you constantly, he commented. The elected president of the new club was Senior Renee Montana. I start meetings and get things going, she stated. Montana felt that Koester was a very helpful advisor, and was glad he had helped start the club, as she had been interested in art since the first grade. ARCHERY 8t ART 161

Preparing For The Hunt he Archery Club, in its second year was still very new, but its size had more than doubled from the year before. Larry Rogge, the club's advisor, said, It started about three years ago .. He continued by saying that it hadn't been really suc- cessful until last year. I'm pleased with the size, said Rogge, We have about 18 people that have been to some of our meetings. The club's activities included target and hunting practice, and shooting at unknown distances. Rogge had hoped to have some game wardens and other guest speakers talk to the club about safety and hunting. Most members shoot with the ultimate goal being to hunt, he said, adding, It's a big challenge, and I, like most of the people in it, have interests in the outdoors and animals, and we are willing to put a limit on ourselves. It's something you can do every day in your back yard, not like a rifle, which you have to get out of the city to shoot. Club President Tom Richard, a senior and two-year club member, said he liked the club because of his strong interest in archery. I'm good at it to a point, he said. Like all of the club members, Richard shot a compound hunting bow-a bow that is easier to draw because of its use of pulleys and eccentric wheels. Richard had been shooting for 8 years and had won high places in local tournaments. He felt that last year's club was better than the previous year's because of the increased membership. Richard organized meetings, other activities, and told members about local tournaments.

utual feeling among the 22 seniors in the Golden Eagle Marching and Symphonic Band was that of respect for their director Laszlo Veres. Not only did a person respect him, he respected you back, stated David Adams, trombone player and drum major. Debbie Patton felt that band was a big family and he was the father. Most Seniors had been in band three to four years and had devoted an average of 760 hours to it. If a person wants to be a part of a group they have to be willing to give some of their time, ex- plained Patton, clarinet player. Band was the center of it all, for Tom Szlachta, a trumpet player who had been in band all SeniorJ leave with a Jenfe of accomplitlzment, four years. When asked how being in band affected his life while attending Santa Rita Kevin Stockdale said it gave him a sense of accomplishment. Like any organization, band made the years in school more in- teresting and exciting for many seniors and as Scott Tarran saw it, band made me more spirited, without it I would have been bored. Most seniors seemed to think they would continue in a musical career or at least continue playing because they had worked hard to reach their status and would hate to see their achievements 'go down the drain'. The events which band members were involved in ranged from Pep Assemblies to Symphonic Concerts. Scott felt that in band, everything he did made a significant difference in his high school years at Santa Rita. ff A Flutist Nancy Berlow displays the A proper playing position for the flute.
