SERIGR D hey broke through hundreds of win- dows, walls and doors everyday — Vo matter how solid the glass, or how thick the bricks. They seeped in, in- vading every molecule of empty space with rich demanding music. Their talents brightened our pep rallies and football games. During halftime their intricate designs on field made those 20 minutes just a tad more entertaining. Although many of us didn ' t see them, the band blew the Judges away at contests. Many students had planned to be in band for a long time. When I was 9 I saw the band and I thought it was cool. It has been a dream of mine since then to be drum major. (I had to settle for assistant though), Senior Corky Speer said. Being in band didn ' t Just have to do with music, in fact it had many non-musical aspects; it helped the creative ability and the discipline which helped in all other areas of school. The students go through emotional highs and lows together; they learn to work with other types of people and learn to share, ' ' Di- rector Charles Kuntz said. Most members practiced eibout an hour a day. They had special sectionals to strengthen the unity of individual sections. We all spend so much time together, and we get so close that it ' s like a family. You win and lose as a group. We might get mad on the field, but when it matters we really stay together, Senior Christine Parrish said. SEE, SEE, ARENT L YOa PROUD?

Jt ' s getting late. The kids are hungry, better start dinner. I remember the first time I euer made this. She thinks to herself — ( was in home economics he day of my first FHA meeting. She remem- bered clearly everything that was said and ione. I joined FHA because I wanted to meet new people and become part of a group that did fun ind educational things , Michelle Kiolbassa, reshman said. In October, an officer installation supper and ce cream social were held. November brought heir participation in The Great American Smoke-Out. They held a luncheon for the ad- ninistration and took Christmas presents to a ■yattered woman ' s shelter in December. The unique thing about this group was that it vas two separate chapters, one sponsored by ' )arla Massey, and the other by Eilleen Fox. The reason for this was that there were so many members, but only one member from each chapter can be sent to com- petition. By having two separate chapters we can send two people and get better representation for our school, Mrs. Massey said. Plans for the second half of the year included a clothes drive for St. Peter ' s St. Joseph ' s Chil- drens ' Home and their state meeting in Fort Worth. It ' s getting late, the kids are hungry, better start dinner. So much for the good ' ol days. 99 It ' s or THAN Just Buttonholes A FINE MESS?
