Teens Help Teens by: Tertia Stewart The Youth Educators is a group of people ranging between the 10th-19th grades. The purpose of the group is to demonstrate the affects of peer pressure. They are funded by the state. Mr. Paul Winters, from Central Junior High coordinated the activities. Teens were trained for 4 months about drugs and alcohol. Then they went to junior highs and answered questions or cleared up rumors about drugs and alcohol. Senior Dina Billeci said, We wanted the students to know that they can talk to us because we do understand what they are going through. Junior Casey Chase added, We think students will be finished with drugs and alcohol if we communicate at their level. Our main purpose was to stress that they can say no to peer pressures. 6 HflLU'L'li Elillkf-l.'L'ILl.tE

We've taken the first giant step in creating the big, exciting band that will be here soon, says band director of 12 years, Mr. Orrin Cross lll. Assistant director, new to P.H,S. was Mrs. Sherrie Van Nest. She commented, I'm very impressed with the quality, style, and overall performance of the band. Drum major, Becky Walker, led the band for the second consecutive year. She showed more confidence and style this year than she did last year. She also exhibited more authority over the band. Jerome Sandoval said, The band made the football games more exciting and it made you proud to be from Pittsburg when the band did so well. Along with playing all home-game shows, the band performed at the Walnut Competition where the band took fourth place, losing second place by only 4f1O of a point, and won 5600. The band also played at Cal Band Day, the second annual Columbus Day Parade. 1. Richard Bleck, Becky Walker, and Gino Carrera perform and dance to The Twist . The band is at the PittfAntioch game. Q.
