Screams, yells, pierced ears and oil stained hands, mod clothing and the prep look. These ad- jectives just begin to de- scribe the night of the Battle of the Bands — the audience, not the band members. The an- nual Battle of the Bands is a competition among bands. Monacan’s 1985 extravaganza Saw sever- al heavy metal and punk rock groups perform. The judging was done, among others, by our own Mr. Cook from the Social studies depart- ment. The bands were judged on style, sound, audience reaction and general atmosphere cre- ated.

Battle Of The Classes An evening in May was the set- ting for the annual Battle of the Classes — Basketball style! Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors each manned basket- ball teams consisting of a boys team and a girls team. The Sophomore team was de- feated by the fine playing of the Senior Chiefs. The well planned Juniors came out on top after meeting the scrappy Freshmen. The last game of the friendly com- petition pitted the Junior team against the Senior team. This match ended in a 63 to 43 romp — the Junior team was victorious. Page 22 Battle of the Classes “ay The Junior team shows their skill against Freshmen and Seniors.
