Eighth Graders Play In Band and Gym Practice makes perfect was the motto heard throughout the year, in all eighth grade band classes. All the bands performed in a winter concert on Dec- ember 10, among many songs played were Holiday On ice performed by concert band Ill and Snowchase performed by the symphonic band. The bands also performed in another concert in the spring, on May 23. Band members had the chance to participate in Solo and Ensemble, January 26, but lessons were required. Unlike any other class, the students are put into band classes based on their ability not their grade. Eighth graders are placed in the bands along with freshmen, and are always competing with them. Most of the eighth graders feel that being in the same bands with the ninth graders, gave them more experience. I,2,3,4,2,2,3,4 Sound familiar? These were al- most continuously heard throughout the 8th grade girls gym because cals and stretches were expected of them. The girls played various exciting sports like hockey, speedball, soccer and gymnastics. ln gym- nastics the girls learned how to do some very difficult moves, such as, splits. The boys' gym was a little different. They worked out on weights, did dips and climbed rope. At the end of the year, Mr. Edd Bankowski gave out awards for those who did the best on physical fitness tests. Pasko, Kristina Patton.

Unified Arts, New Experience to 8th Graders Sounds of sewing machines, singing voices, and smells of yummy food were all part of eighth grade uni- fied arts. All eighth grade students participated in unified arts. This included: music, a class where students had a chance to sing; sewing, a class where students had a chance to make something on their own, and cooking which gave the students experience working in a kitchen. Students attended music, taught by Mrs. Sue Berry everyday for one quarter. I enjoyed music. I liked sing- ing a variety of songs said 8th grader Heather Bauer. They sang many different kinds of music such as holiday songs, songs from the Beatles, and many others. In sewing students were required to buy a pattern and material for their clothes. Most of the boys made sweats and the girls either sweats or tops. Eighth grader Matt Parachek stated, I found sewing enjoyable break from my other academic classes. Another class, taught by Mrs. Nancy Striggow, was cooking. Students taking this class learned the basics such as how to measure, mix, fry, bake, etc. They also learned how to follow recipes and clean up after them- selves. Unified arts helped students in a useful way to pre- pare for the future. 45
