Even after devastating budget cuts the performing arts and fine arts classes still managed to produce in a manner equal to pre-Prop I3 years. The fall production drama of Our Town met with critical acclaim. Produced by students and graduates of Susan Payer-Stauter's pro- gram the production used period costumes and a stage painted to resemble patchwork quilt to give an impression of Americana. The vocal music department presented concerts at Christmas, spon- sored the Talent Show, produced the Pop-jazz concert and presented a spring concert. They also traveled to competitions and concerts in the area. The instrumental music department raised over 527,000 to purchase new band uniforms which were unveiled at the homecoming game. The band marched in parades, competed in field tournaments and played at all half-time football game shows. The orchestra, directed by band director Ken Bergevin, played at the Christmas Concert and at other concerts. M Lab ff t My ll Pg?

Punk, prep mark changes in styles Of all the fads that have come and gone through the late ,70,S and early ,8o's, none seems to be as prevalent as the Preppie and Punker styles of today. Preppies are those who dress in the more conservative Ivy League style. Punkers dress in a very avant-garde fashion wearing old army outfits, tee shirts with lots of writing on them, big boots, safety pins, leather jackets with an abundance of zippers and razor-blade jewelry. Many of the males can be seen sporting earrings in one or both ears. Senior Mike Stafford, known as King Catfish to his circle of Preppie friends, stated, I like prep over punk because punkers wear clothes that look cheap. As opposed to Stafford, junior Brossie Cerniglia said, Instead of wearing Jordache jeans and 'Preppie' shirts Qlooking like a clonej we wear old Levis SOI jeans and old button up shirts. Notice, no two punkers look alike. Another major difference between the two factions is the type of music they listen to. Punkers, as the name implies, listen to Punk Rock music. The more popular groups include Black Flag, Devo, The Clash, The Dead Kennedys and The Pre- tenders. Preppies, on the other hand, listen to wide varieties of music considered to be basic rock and roll. Groups commonly listened to by Preppies include Journey, Rush, Foreigner, Pat Benatar, Queen and Styx. The difference in the music itself is enough to set the two rou s a art distinctl . Punk is about roblems in the '8o's S P P Y P , stated Cerniglia, It's fast, the kind of music you want to dance to. Rock and roll is music written about love and human hardship whereas punk rock is about dead, war and hate. Punk music, as far as I can see is for very sadistic people, stated senior Robert Saavedra.
