Along with the regularly scheduled events such as concerts, there were many extra events in which the students were involved. With the beginning of football season came the beginning of Mar- ching Band. The Marching Band began practicing even before school started in late August, and although there were many adverse weather conditions which they had to put up with, they made it through the season. ln the spring, they also par- ticipated in the River Festival Parade. Jazz Band members also had to deal with many out-of-class rehear- sals. There wasn't a class set up for Jazz Band, so practices were held on Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 7:15 to 7:55. They participated in such activities as Jazz ln TheFiound and noontime concerts in the park during the River Festival. The Qrchestra was very busy preparing for concerts all year and for contests early in the spring. There were also a few members of the full 1 5 S E E 2 E i E X

She added that a good journalist is also aware of the world around him and keeps in mind that .what he writes provides leader- ship for his readers. There were many new additions to the journalism department. Besides the standard Compugraphic, a word processing computer, students had the opportunity to set their work on two Apple lle computers. A pilot program was also started. An advanced communications inter- face was acquired which enabled completed stories, typed on the Ap- ple, to be sent to the Compugraphic through a spelling program that cat- ches errors. This cut down on the amount of proof-reading and typing to be done. Churchman's two personal goals of journalism were to create good journalists and to help mold in- dividuals into responsible, self
