it: POPULAR FAVORITE —The Marching Band has proved such a popular attraction in the community this semester that plans are in the works to keep the unit together for the spring semester. GEORGY GIRL —The band’s rendition of popular tunes was a feature of rallies and at games. Here the tubas jostle with the fans in the football stadium. SCC’s Proud Boast Marching Band THE PANTHER MARCHING BAND creates much excitement in College spirit and as good-will ambassadors. With 128 members, the SCC Marching Band parades back and forth on the football field for home games. Several times the Band has appeared on tele¬ vision for Oakland “Raider” football games and “Forty-Niner” games. The Band also performs for under-privi¬ leged children of the Sacramento Unified School District and helps local high schools raise money for their band trips. Two years ago the Band marched in the Rose Bowl pa¬ rade. Drum Majors Ken Roberts and Victor Bog- danoff work to keep the Band organized but faculty director Mr. Gilbert Woody is the big key. Flag twirling girls and Pantherettes are attractive additions to his aggregation. The Band was invited to Macy’s Thanks¬ giving Parade in New York City this year but could not accept because funds were a bit scarce. Their candy sales provide scholar¬ ships for SCC Band students and provide yearly savings toward the $125 uniforms, which need to be replaced every eight to ten years. As the semester closes, the organization disbands; many of the musicians join the stage band, pep band, or the symphonic band. The Band has played an important part in student activities this semester, continuing a fine tradition at Sacramento City College.

Campus “Commons” Gazing Georgia CAMPUS SURROUNDED BY BEAUTY-In wander¬ ing around the campus, the “Pioneer” photographer made his choice of beautiful coeds with his candid camera. Although he termed his assignment “work” in reporting results to the editor, the staff noted the light of inspiration in his eyes. Reproduced on these pages are a few of his choices. Do you agree?
