One of our mow dedicated Pepwers. Senior, Scott Garrison gladly performs The Heat Is On at the Carlsbad football game. Junior, Chris Swart, along with the other trumpetcers, practices his music before the football game that night. The Marching Pep Band gets ready to perform in front of the football crowd during half'time. Pepsters Hey!!!! What's that noise? The crowd never screamed in tune and quite so loud before! Look! What are all those people doing with those things? They're here to cheer us up with some of the tunes we love. Is that our fight song? You bet! Listen, that can't possibly be La Bamba ? No, no way! Oh WOW! It is! Hey, my man! That's our very own Pep Band. The Pep Band, along with the Pep Club, is in charge of raising crowd enthusiasm and promoting crowd spirit at Pep rallies and both home and away games. The Pep Band doesn't have a stable number of mem- bers. We win some, we lose some. It's normal! exclaimed junior, Raul Organista. The band was formed from those students who wanted to show their spirit. Anywhere from twelve to thirty-five band members showed up to perform. It all depend- ed on where the game or gig was being held. The Pep Band not only adds spirit to the school, it is even hired to do various gigs for those who are interested in a little entertainment. For example, the band was invited to perform at the Super Bowl send off. The Pep Band doesn't look at this organization as a job, but just as time to get together and show Madison Spirit.

Madison High School's newspaper, The Talon, has had quite an exciting year. Some changes were made for this school year. The first difference was that the staff had a new advisor, Victoria Ballardo. Fortunately for her she had an experienced and helpful staff of 12 students, with 8 of them returning from last year. Their editor, Lili Reeves, said that It was a big change from last year considering the smaller class size, but we tuffed it out. Even though the new advisor was a amateur, she said I thoroughly en- joyed my first year as advisor. Some of the staff obtained experiences that they planned on using in later professions. Rusty Miller, a sophomore, said, I find Journalism exciting and being on the Talon gives me a better edge to get into the profession. The main objective of the class is to publish the school newspaper periodically. Students get exper- ience in journalism, writing, and the chance to be part of a staff and work with others towards the same goals. The people of the Talon Staff take pride in their work and have a feeling of accomplishment once the paper is published. Talon 107
