M.M.H.S. MARCHING BAND This is an outstanding and hard working group. They have performed and participated in many activities. They have made enjoyable half time shows at all football games. This year, the band has grown in size and enthusiasm. Its director, Mr. Joseph Acerra, has been in charge of the group for two years. He has been respon- sible for a new approach now adopted by the marching band which is to spend one week at camp just before the opening of the school sea- son. At camp, the group gets better acquainted and are able to help each other and the new members in marching techniques. In moderate rain or on a very hot day, the young musicians can be found on the practice field running through fundamental marching drills and prac- ticing shows for the future season’s football games. That week is also spent memorizing music for the shows. Actually, the week isn’t all hard work. There are many recreational activi- ties for everyone to enjoy; swimming, dancing, hiking, participating in skits, etc. The band's biggest goal was that of raising enough funds to make a final payment on the new uniforms, the purchasing of additional uni- forms, and buying plumes for the new hats. The marching band has participated in the dedication of the new bridge on Route 528, the Mardi Gras Parade, the Fourth of July and Memorial Day Parades, and sponsored many fish fries through out the summer. The Prep band is a promising group making preparations for entering the High School Band. It is made up of mostly freshmen. These hard working students take part in Junior High Con- certs and the annual Spring Music Festival. A branch of the marching band is the Pep Band. The group is made up of a few of the many outstanding players in the band. They play at all pep assemblies and at all home basketball games. 20

The Council regulates various aspects of student life and attempts to com- plete projects of benefit to the school. This year, under the expert leadership of President Donnie Debevc and her executive committee, the organiza- tion has been extremely active with such new en- deavors as the mock November elections, publication of a new Student Handbook, six weeks honors recog- nition, the Student Council bulletin board, club of the semester award, coat hanger drive, and Apple for the Teachers Day. The Council has also con- tinued projects such as the support of Kim Sook Jung, our Korean Foster Child, the basketball game coat check, and the Streaker. Aside from intraschool activities, Madison's Student Council has also hosted several Lake County Area Student Council functions as Donnie acted as president of this group of repre- sentatives from area student governments. In the fall, the annual L. C. A. S. C. dance was held in our gym, and, as always, it was a success. This spring, Madison organized and held the Area Student Coun- cil Workshop. The purpose of this was to extend the knowledge of those people who had attended Ohio Workshops and conferences to people who had not had such opportunities. Over one hundred people from Northeastern Ohio schools came to the all-day affair. The Student Council has been hard working, and enthusiastic and the members agree that it has been the most successful group in many years.
