Cooley, Seekin Perfect Harmon By Chris Blackburn The voice of Poway High students could be heard in K-l during 5th period. This was the time that the choir met. Four years ago this might not have been the scene. The class was without a regular instructor or books to work with. Thanks to Mike Mosgrove, the choir director, the choir was back on its feet. In the past three years he has strengthened the choir and increased the overall size of the group. Students found that choir was not an easy A class. What they did find was a class that was easy as long as they put the effort towards doing the best that they could. The choir class gave the opportuni- ty for those students who enjoyed singing to improve their skill and most important it gave them the time to sing. What we learned this year has helped me get start- ed with what l like to do, stated Alyssa Karalekas. The course taught them how to read music and how to sing the proper way. Singing deals with more than just opening your mouth and hoping what comes out sounds good. l've learned through this class what it takes to be a good singer, commented Laurie Elias. Choir proved to be a class that was fun and at the same time gave students the opportunity to enjoy and experience mu- sic. Choir 123

Bleacher Creatures I pirited Titan Unite By Chris Blackburn You'll find the nicest and most spirit- ed people here, replied Heather McCleod when asked about the Bleacher Creatures. The Bleacher Creatures have come a long way since the club formed last year. With over one hundred people involved, they are now able to give their support to more of the athletic teams. This was seen as the Bleacher Creatures supported the athletic teams of first and second semester. Shelly Hayes stated, The club is more organized this year and has a devoted group of leaders. This was seen as the Bleacher Creatures got involved with more than just cheering on the athletic teams. They could be seen at tailgate par- ties and selling Fuzzy Grahms on the quad during lunch. The Bleacher Creatures made them- selves more noticeable on campus as the entire club bought sweatshirts with the club's logo on it. This was to show their support for the teams and each other. Elisa Smith commented, The games are so much more exciting and action packed when all of us squish together in one group and cheer on our teams! The Bleacher Creatures was a club in which anyone could have joined for the purpose of hav- ing fun in cheering on the athletic teams throughout the year. lt was great being a Bleacher Creature! Bleacher Creatures hold nothing back when it comes to cheering J . 122 Bleacher Creatures .Ta N,.5 fs, 1 .-Vzrqr, Y A. Bray, R. Farvar, K. Beloux, E. Smith, A Tracy, B. Shipley, S. Hays, T.

Iliad New Traditions By Lori Raber Where did you get your Iliad? This was a familiar sound to hear every two weeks at Poway High. The first day of school the Iliad came out with a back-to- school issue. This was the first time the Iliad ever came out the first days we spent a lot of our own time doing it and it was worth it, stated Glen Tripp. Stories about activities, sports and stu- dent opinions could always be found with- in the sixteen pages. The Iliad covered everything, not just one aspect of the school, according to Megan Murphy. The staff welcomed free-lance writing and let- ters from the student body. The goal was to make every paper better than the one before. The staff this year was very self-con- tained. They did all their own lay-outs and organizing. Each person has a job they are expected to dog they know they are depended on to do it, commented Vanessa Owen. The job definitely got done with a new Iliad to look forward to regularly. All of our efforts were worthwhile when the paper finally came out, replied several staff members. This year's staff had a goal to be number one in the county and top informer to PHS. Pilar Melendez types out another successful article for the Iliad. 124 Iliad Ms. Heath gives Kim Uyeda advice on a future story D. Rozano. K. Uyeda, J. Aghassi, S, DePriest, G. Tripp, K, Malloy. J.
