By the second week of school the NUNTIUS staff was at work planning the yearbook. Writing copy, or- dering pictures, and planning layouts were only a small portion of what had to be done. There was also yearbook week to plan, books to sell, and deadlines to meet. After editor-in-chief Wendy Dotson proofed the final pages only a few weeks remained before the entire process start- ed again. Yes, the NUNTIUS staff has a year-long task. Conferring on a yearbook matter are Dawn Brooks, Alan Paternoster, Pat Owen, and Angie Campbell. Listening attentively are Michelle Payne and Bonnie Adams. Nuntius 11

The marching band performs during halftime of the Gretna game. They play with ‘‘espirit de’ corps’ the suite ‘‘Firebird’’ complete with torches and a firebird. Other numbers were ‘‘Malaga,’’ Schehera- zade,’’ Hooked on Classics,”’ and ‘‘Firebird’’. Setting up things behind the Firebird are Mr. Her- man Barbour and Mr. Jimmy Yeatts, two active members of the Band Boosters. The boosters run the trade lot which brings in the money for the elaborate special effects the band has in their show and finance the band’s trips. “The Let’s Boogie Jazz Band’ get ‘downright funky’’ as they make the audience catch the beat. The Mighty Ricky ‘‘Hutch’’erson on drums, Cool Marty Cox on bass, Big Mean Jimmy Yeatts, Fast Fingers Andy Mattox, and Terrifying Tarek Farmer are all on trumpet. Last but not least Mr. Music Man himself Rusty Dalton on the saxophone and others are just a part of the group that rocks the stage. 12 Band
