Changes in the Band eame with the new vear. There was a new Drum Major, Darlene Akridge; an increase in membership; a Band Manager; an- other majorette; and the Band Boosters Club formed by the parents of Band members. The new and the old made a happy combination, and Mr. Jay Raven and Band audiences indicated their appro al. The Band Boosters helped the Band raise money, and plan activities. Members of the Band sold bars of soap door-to-door in hopes of raising a large sum of money to supply new uniforms and shakos. Money was also needed to form the New Band Summer Camp. This camp, meeting at the end of the summer, will serve to train new mem- bers and review old ones on Band procedures. The Band accomplished more than making monev though. They attended the Pomona con- cert and parade in the fall, besides performing at home football games. They were also at the home basketball games, where they helped promote school spirit. Other activities were concerts, pa- rades, and Baccalaureate and Commencement ceremonies. . blister leaves Dana Rogers with a perplexed expression as Bev- erly Bossard and Alan Swislow keep the beat.

Oaks- ioni, A Schlaeli Yearbook Stuff Western Theme Gallops Away with ' 68 Talon A enncpntrating Dcmna Schlucter ignores the bustle of yearbook staff w.iik tci complete a long-planned sports layout. Wild horses couldn ' t drag Talon secrets out of staffers. A simple rule like this was part of the beginning of the 1968 Western-themed Talon. In- dustriously, staffers went to work inspired by the en- chantment of the Wild West. Each section devised ways to tie the West into their section. Staff members wrote witty headlines, and the art staff sketched many different vignettes .symbolic of the West. Anytime a person walked into room 335 during sixth period, he saw headlines flying, lay-outs being torn up, .stories being cro.ssed out and captions re- jected. Every type of facial expression was encoun- tered: innocence at the beginning of the year; frus- tration and grim despair as the year progressed; and finally, joyful relief when the yearbook was finished. The whole .staff was .stimulated by the 1967 Talon, which won the first prize Edward A. Dick.son Memorial Award at UCLA ' earbook Day. Editor Susan Snider and Advisor Mr. Carl Green checked each page to see that everything was done properly. Every year I say. ' Never again!. ' com- mented Mr. Green. But then I see the fini.shcd book and know that the late hours and moments of frus- tration were worthwhile. 126
