Airbond by Jon Jaro M ock Rocking Poway Style here existed a time when the word airband meant abso- lutely nothing to Poway High School. Now, the annu- al Airband competition has become an important tradition on our campus. This year proved to be no different as bands upon bands came out to strut their stuff. After the final cuts were decided 13 bands moved on to perform before the entire community at the night show. The evening turned out to be a tremendous success as evident by the packed PHS gym. However, much of the audience showed signs of restlessness as Skippy', a.k.a. Rick Rockwell recited the same jokes for the third straight year. I be- lieve we need to get someone other than Skippyf, stated Robert Melotti. Fortu- nately, the quality of the performance was not hindered. Eventually, the tabu- lating of votes by the celebrity judges was complete and the six finalists were announced. The following day, after the Titan Time assemblies, the winners were named. First Place went to the Big Audio Dynamite. Second Place went to George Michael and The Nylons took third place. Regardless of the voting, everyone had fun and felt all the bands were win- ners. Judging should be based more on talent rather than crowd ap- peal. -- Aaron Ortztch Students shouldnft boo groups no matter how bad they think they may be? -- Jason Kim 40 Student Life Who me?

Holidays by Stephanie Allen Legal Escape elebrating holidays were what many students looked forward to. This broke the monotony of uneventful Monday through Friday weeks. Holidays gave students a chance to have fun and be a little crazy. The first holiday of the year was Hal- loween. Students expressed themselves by dressing up in colorful costumes. Halloween is fun because you can be what you always wanted to be, re- marked Steve Kerr. December marked the beginning of the hustle to prepare for the holiday sea- son. Students showed spirit by wearing Santa hats and holiday sweatshirts. Most important for many students was Valentinels Day. Everyone got a chance to show that special person how much they care. February also consisted of two Presidents' birthdays. HThis al- lows me to enjoy a couple of days of in- tense skiingf' explained Allison Oldham. Finally, Spring Break gave students a week of relaxation, so they could be pre- pared for the final quarter. Holidays provided an opportunity for students to enjoy themselves. And as Mike Pattison stated, 'il would probably go crazy without them! I like to go girl watch- ing at the beach. -Scott Murphy Vacations for me are as time to catch up on things that I ,ue put off awhile and just to re- lax and do things I haverft had time for during school. -Kristen Finneran Holidays 39
