If so, does it have six different colors, six sides, and does it boggle your mind? If you answered yes to any of these questions, sounds like you’re into the new fad called Rubik’s Cube. The cube itself is made up of cubelets and each face of nine cubelets can be rotat- ed 360° in any direction by twisting it. Each face is a single solid color; blue, green, yellow, white, and orange are the original colors. Mow, such colors as pink, purple, black and gray are popular. Are you addicted? Do you find yourself dreaming squares, sneaking them into class, and sometimes spending restless nights trying to solve the mysteries the Cube beholds? Shanna Kahn, while pass- ing the cube to another poor soul com- mented, “It’s frustrating, I hate it. There are ways of solving the Cube with- out having to spend eons of time trying; for instance, there are books written exclu- sively on how to solve the Cube. The Sim- ple Solution to Rubik’s Cube, by James Nourse, and Mastering Rubik's Cube, by Donald Taylor. Also a poster can be pur- chased at local gift shops such as Spen- cers, depicting the solution and telling about the Cube itself. Expensive? Well, it all depends on what size cube you buy. Some are so small they fit on a chain to be used as a necklace, there are cubes on key chains, and the big granddaddy of them all is so large it takes two hands to keep a grip on it. The Cube has become an important part of students’ lives. While twisting and turn- ing the Cube, Mike Stauffer said, “I like it; it’s a challenge. Cubers sit in corners, hide behind books in class, and even walk and solve at the same time. Mrs. Ward even referred to the Rubik's Cube to illus- trate a point in the complicated structure of The Scarlet Letter. Every 43,252,003,274,856,000 pattern teaches you abstract algebra and drives you cuckoo-insanity spelled: C-tl-B-E. Twisting and turning, tricky manuvers bring Karl Allred closer to solving the Rubik's cube. The new fad seen around school, the cube relieved students from class pressures as they bent their minds trying to solve the colorful killer. Kirby-Milliner • 185

Playing In Time Right face! Left Face! About face! Pa- rade rest! shouts the drum major. These were only a few of the commands heard every practice by the dedicated marching band students. Last summer, starting the last week of July from 7:30 a.m. • 10:30 a.m., and then after school from 3:30 p.m. 6:30 p.m., the marching band held practices, which were sometimes extremely frustrating, especial- ly for the fifty-seven freshmen learning how to march for the first time. When asked how it was, one freshman could only answer ugh! But Junior Barbie Burrows added, On the whole you put out a lot of dedication and hard work, taking riff from people, working your lower region off just so we can bring back to our school fantas- tic scores and trophies, which makes it all worthwhile. Drum Majors Chris Weiss and Sheila EerNissee met the members each day full of criticism, and held out a sharp eye for Baritone gleaming in the sun. Stuart Rice gets into his performance at Sugarhouse Park. One of the solo- ists. Steward will often sport two different horns as he plays in practices or tournaments. anyone, be they freshmen or seniors, to do something wrong. Any mistakes resulted in the unfortunate running laps around the football field. This may sound tough, but it was what had to be done in order for the members to acquire the discipline they needed to achieve all of the prizes and places they did. For instance the band cap- tured first place in the Nebo Tournament for best auxiliary, drum major and music —at the B.Y.U. Tournament they were awarded sixth out of seventeen competi- tors—and at the G. of (J. they received fifth out of twenty-five participants. The crown- ing achievement was placing first in the Region Two competition for the second year in a row. When asked how it had been to be a member of the marching band this year, Freshman Joel Johnson said, It’s been a pretty good year because I’ve only been sworn at a few times. Drum Major Chris Weiss said, The rea- son we did so well this year is that we all worked together as one unit. The band members were willing to exert the hard work and dedication needed to be champi- ons.
