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.

Getaway Making the get away, students scan the horizon for annoying administrators. Having made it safely to the car, their next plan of action will be where to spend their free time, anywhere from Me Donald's to an hour in the canyons relaxing. The sluffer sneaks past his classroom door. Once past, he makes a running dash for the stairs at the end of the hall. Safely around the corner, he slows to an easy walk, and calmly goes downstairs and out a side door. He heads for his car, and upon reaching it looks up, and meets the eyes of a vice principal, sitting on the hood of his car. “I was just coming to see if I turned off my lights, stammers the sluffer. And I was just using your car to write on so I could give you a suspension for sluffing, answers the man with the walkie- talkie. Stuffing is an age-old art that has gone by many names in the past: sluffing, cut- ting, ditching, skipping, playing hookey and truancy. But now new terminology has entered the vocabulary and the following expressions somehow smack of that origi- nal word “sluff”. 1. doughnut run 2. breakfast 3. in the bathroom 4. in the nurses office 5. flat tire (usually during lunch) 6. I had a ticket for the game 7. checked out 8. I'll bring a note tomorrow (conveniently forgotten each day) 9. had to make a telephone call (all period?) So if you plan on skipping, cutting, or ditching a class better not use any of the new Big Nine. They all seem to scream “SLCJFF”.
