McLemore, Brightup keep interest in percussion alive Seven years is a long time to stay interested in something you began at the age of 10. juniors Tim McLemore and Kevin Brightup had no trouble in keeping their interest in percussion going. McLemore having taken lessons for seven years and Brightup for five are very active in their field of interest. They have both participated in other bands and orchestras besides the ones at Northwestg groups like Youth Symphony, KMEA District and State, City Band and the City Honor Band. McLemore has also participated in his church orchestra and won fifth place in a Na- tional Talent Contest. Brightup's main interest is in drums. I want to be a profes- sional drummer more than a percussionistf' he said, and maybe when I'm older I would like to teach percussion. McLemore's main interest is in Mallet Percusion and playing Latin music. He would also like to go on to be a professional. He has gotten a step ahead of Brightup by already giving lessons to a couple of his own students. Percussion is the only area in music that they both know very well, but they are happy with it. Competing against each other to see who is the best keeps them both practicing hard. So in a few years time, start to look for the names Mclemore and Brightup. With all of the hard practice and experience behind them, both musicians should be ready to fulfill their dream. :fr -s fd,

Strong leadership efforts characterize sophomores Throughout high school, Northwest students experienced many new things, and while all experiences were equally impor- tant and played a major role on their lives, only a few were significant enough to become those moments that will be remembered in the future. The first year in high school was a new and exciting challenge for the 417 incoming sophomores, and with strong leadership from the class officers: Derrick Nielsen, president, Lisette Cullinane, vice-president, and Holly Hobbs, secretary-treasurer, they truly gave an extreme effort to accomplish the one thing that makes a group of students become a class: unity. Being united in their effort to make a name for themselves and their support for one another made this class unique. While the effort to bring the sophomore class together was up to each individual student, the result showed a highly spirited and academically achieving class. Over 40 per cent of those that made the semester honor roll were sophomores. This year was only a beginning for the class of 1985 and their accomplishments. With the right kind of leadership and guidance during the next two years, all students will be able to achieve their goals and maintain the high standards set this year for the rest of their life.
