Most students considered a fun class to be an easy one. Although there were no desks, and the rumble of students chatter was often heard, band class was not thought of as easy. Students averaged 30 to 40 minutes of practice every night. Senior Todd Huffman said, ttltts not really work if you like it. 80 students took the class seriously. Band captain Mark Snedegar commented, hltts important to know your part if youtre called on. Unlike in some classes, here, you have a lot of responsibility. Band director Mr. William Svec taught three band classes: Symphonic Band, Concert Band, and Music Theory. The Band classes played various pieces while the seven member Music Theory class studied composers, dif- ferent kinds of music and how music was written.

The extra hours of work were all worthwhile n the long run Waiting for news of college acceptance was perhaps one of the most frustrating ex- periences of the year for seniors. Students who had enrolled in honors classes and advanced studies felt they had an edge in college acceptance, especially if their grades were good. Some- times, because of the seem- ingly endless hours of home- work, students wondered what crazy thought had possessed them when they signed up for honors classes. As PSAT and SAT scores, college acceptances, and Advanced Placement results came in, students were glad they had gone the extra mile. Senior Ellen Bradley said, ttl decided to take advanced classes because I thought theytd help me get into a bet- ter collegeT Junior and sophomores with less immediate college concerns, took advanced classes for other reasons. ttI took advanced courses for the challenge? said Lee 162 e Honorts Class and RVGS Thomason, uI just wanted to prove to myself that I could do it. Highly motivated students also had the option of attend- ing the Governors School for Science and Technology. Previously housed in four trailers behind Patrick Henry High School, the school moved to a brand new facility. Early in the year, Governor Gerald Baliles traveled through Roanoke, stopping to dedicate the new building. The Governor, Mayor Noel Taylor, and other political and educa- tional leaders spoke at the dedication ceremony. Housed within the modern building was a state- of-the-art scientific equip- ment including an infrared spectometer and an electron microscope. These high-tech instruments enabled students to study science, mathematics, and technol- ogy more intensely. Mary Ann Ehlshlager Mary Ann Ehlshlager
