220 Ba LET THE MUSIC he 1987-88 Charg- er Band, including tall flags, had sev- enty-eight members. That's an amazingly large number of people, all of whom were interested in the same goal - enter- taining through music. Marching Band was an elective, but members usually entered the class with some knowledge of how to play an instru- ment. The band was com- prised of flutes, saxo- phones, french horns, trumpets, trombones, baritones, tubas, and per- cussion instruments. The band performed six times each semester, twice in parades, and four times in field competi- tions. Six to eight schools competed in each com- petition, and Agoura al- ways placed in the top three, often in first place. PLAY How was it possible for Agoura to do so well? Several people helped make the Charger Band one of the best. Drum ma- jor, Mike Stone, conduct- ed the competitions, and Eric Oifer conducted the 'I love to play the flute.' - jenny Prendergast band during practice. Bruce Tipton, a student teacher, and several other assistants also helped plan programs and taught the band to march in unison. The percussion instru- mentalists also received specialized instruction. When asked why she joined band, lenny Pren- dergast replied, I love to play the flute. The people are really nice, and par- ticipation in school activi- ties looks really good on college applications. Band director, john Mo- seley, added his enthusi- astic praise: lt was a good season. The kids did their best, and we appreciate their effort. Between the excellent in- struction and the stu- dents' dedication, Agoura High's Charger Band and tall flags continued to let the music play with style and quality. - jennifer Forman ws , ft, it gigs it W..

eer Counseling and Maranatha , - were clubs that encouraged members to care for and understand themselves and others. These clubs were based on people revealing their innermost thoughts in a relaxing and tranquil atmosphere. They also allowed an individual to take time out from life's everyday demands and be listened to by understanding people. According to Pat Croner, an advisor for Peer Counseling, the purpose of Peer Counseling was to have students available to help other students in a confidential manner to handle personal, peer, and family problems of a non life-threatening nature. The club was also available to welcome new students, tutor, and host on-campus programs pertaining to teenage topics. Some of their activities Members of Maranatha Club include L. Yik, C. lenierg, A. Hurley, G. Hart, K. Dalenberg, M. Morton, L. Adams, A. Gayer, I. Heiner, 5. lones, 1. Gayer, S. Hsi, B. Nichols, and T. Hutchinson. Mara- natha was a club which re- flected religious as well as secular beliefs. W Sin leton, 1. Hood, G. Da- L l 1 l t,t,,,? gl.. 222 Maranatha Club included conferences with peer counselors from other schools and unique workshops led by community specialist in family and personal counseling. Larry Bushner, Nancy Johnsen, and Tom johnsen were other club advisors, and Diane Gehart was the Peer Counseling chairman. The advanced group of 'Peer Counseling was a great way to help others while learning about yourself, too.' - Melinda Klayman -iii counselors met Thursdays during lunch and the new group, which was trained in part by the advanced group, met Mondays during lunch. Similar to Peer Counseling, Maranatha was a club where one could comfortably share his feelings with other people. Common occurrences in Maranatha were discussing topics and stories from a Biblical viewpoint, as well as current events. For example, they discussed creation, evolution, miracles, and the reasons behind them. Furthermore, all of the members cared about the problems their fellow members had, and it was definitely a place where you could open up and share your feelings. Gordon Hart, invited guest speakers such as former students. Maranatha met every Wednesday at lunch and always welcomed new members. Other advisors included Linda Adams and Gloria Burrus. As anyone can see, Peer Counseling and Maranatha were clubs that valued a person for his individual worth. -Steve Rich sara.-. ., . -.---vw.
