Scund €f Music Now that the band has a new teacher, it is 95 to 100% better than they were in the last few years, Susan Gregg. The band, taught by Mr. Birch, was divided into two main titles, marching band and concert band. They were the same people but did the different things under each title. The band participated in many different things, such as all of the home games, played for the play-offs at Wooster and at the UNR Homecoming game where they placed second. The band also placed second as an en- try of the Nevada Day Parade. They participated in the Sierra Nevada Zone Band Crusade, went to the Northern Nevada Zone, played in the concert band fes- tival, the All-State band and marched in the Disneyland ' s Eas- ter Parade in Los Angeles, CA. A few of the players who were bet- ter, played in the Honor Band, and other students play in dif- ferent rock groups or jazz bands, or whatever types of music they chose, and even on their own time. I enjoy being in band for two reasons mainly. One is I enjoy the practice, and 1 also enjoy playing the music, whatever kind. Brent Daniels.

■ vi?i Before Cur Time The Carson City High School iooal Studies department advisor Mr. John Sullivan ' s job consisted ot making sure teachers are teaching and students are learn- mg, as he put it; the selection of the Social Studies classes that were graduation requirements- and he deeded which Social Studies classes were offered as electives. To fulfill the Social Studies re- quirements for graduation, soph- omores had to receive a passing grade both semesters in World History; Juniors, U.S. History- Seniors, U.S. Government. Mr. Sullivan said about his job It s a challenge. I offer courses to meet the students require- ments. One of the teachers was Mr Jack Gilbert. He made stories in- teresting and kept the class light although the students learned a ot about U.S. History. If vou were lucky, hed tell a joke or serenade you. Mr. Sullivan ' s Government class studied extensively the U S Governmental process of bill passing as well as elections and state government. Psychology, sociology and cur- rent issues were electives offered by Social Studies. Psychology gave students a chance to learn about human behavior and also let them work with younger school children and study their way of thinking and handling situations. Current Issues studied the media Sophomore Matt Reeder studies the on B: k t . tinents on the globe «-nkyUe p.npo.nts Nevada on a map of the » world for his friend Involvement 171
