On a four by four block of wood stood UCR graduate student Karen Sheldon, conduc- tor ' s baton in hand, patiently wait- ing for the virtuosos to settle down. Snickers rose out of the trombone section. I get no respect, sighed Ms. Sheldon. No, student teaching wasn ' t always gratifying, but a master ' s degree was. I certainly didn ' t stand and wave my arms for exercise, laughed Ms. Sheldon. As a student teacher, Ms. Sheldon found it im- portant to budget the time of her busy schedule between classes at UCR and work at North. But the student teaching position at North was not so burdensome, as Ms. on was a pro with many musical instruments, among thp the clarinet, flute, oboe, and sa| phone, which enabled her to ass ,. musicians both privately and in sectional work. Karen really tried to help qs in concert band, stat clarinetist Veronica Espinoza. j|| Yet the band room was never wi||g out the presence of its new musical director, Mr. Perry Hall. Entitle the vicious teddy bear by his s dents, Mr. Hall combined a lova personality with that of a ragi tiger in the classroom. Mr. F was the best entertainment on ca pus, said Crista Rosten.

Winter Guard, Choral Society Changes Breed Success .girls marched or to the court, I took their positions and si- lently wait for the music to begin. No, it wasn ' t basketball season, it was Winter Guard. With a new in- structor, an original musical score, and a brand new look, the team was well on its way to a winning season. We were the surprise of the year, stated advisor Mr. Hall. No one ex- pected North to do well at all, until we beat them. Being able to overcome difficulties, such as not having a show or an in- structor at the beginning of the sea- son, didn ' t discourage the girls. Practice and determination paid off, and the team consistently won their division in competition. I ' ve never had a group that came so far in such a short amount of time, stated in- structor Richard Carpenter. These girls are truly remarkable! - IGHTS! MUSIC! ACTION! -•-— ' --1 Michael Childers.
