7 e Scat ( oe 0 t Present at every football game and assembly, the Jazz Band and Concert Band combined under the new leadership of Mr. Barney Martinez to display their musical talents. Marching in the San Dimas Parade and in half-time shows were only some of their duties. Performing in the annual Christmas concert at Lone Hill was another opportunity to display their talent, and all looked forward to the May festival in San Francisco. Working together to achieve the best possible performances brought the previous band members and newcomers closer together. The lack of band members forced them to bring up a couple of Lone Hill students to make the band sizable. It ' s good experience and helps the band when we need more trombone players, said freshman Duke Beckford. Apathy towards the bands caused their number to decrease, but both bands held on strong and were optimistic about the future. Front: Jim Blake. Joe Jordan. Lori Militello. Lisa Allen. Marisa Vance.

2s we 7 W ? ? e ie IZtde Enriching the mind as well as providing an opportunity to travel, meet new friends, and serve the community were common goals of American Heritage, C.S.F., and International Club. Throughout the year, club members participated in numerous fund raisers such as the candy, flower, and bake sales, jog walk-a-thons, and car washes. The candy sales were most successful and brought in the largest funds. Students anxiously awaited spring break and were both glad and relieved to have reached the destination all their hard work had paid for. C.S.F. and International Club planned the Canadian trip. Although there was no combination of funds, the two clubs traveled together to lower air fare and hotel accomodation costs, said C.S.F. advisor Mrs. Wiese. American Heritage stayed within the state to learn more about the State Capital. Sacramento; in addition, they chartered a bus to San Francisco to visit historical sites such as Chinatown, Alcatraz. Russian Hills, and Golden State Park. International Club students were interested in providing service to foreign-exchange students and learning more about other cultures. Junior James Eckels joined because, he said, It would be interesting to meet people my age and compare their high schools to ours. Students earning three A ' s and one B in academics qualified for C.S.F. And those maintaining membership at least four out of six of their last semesters, obtained a gold seal on their diploma. Some such as senior Steve Huang wanted a gold seal, and the scholastic reference for his college application. On the other hand, senior Alicia Gonzalez wanted to be associated with other people who have the same goals and interests. No matter what the reason was for joining, students pulled together to make these clubs successful. At break, seniors Ed Cosencino and Charina Oro sign in for an American Heritage Club meeting to help Mrs. Bierbaum keep track of participation. Details of the International Club spring trip to Canada are explained by Dr. DePaolis to interested students on Clubs Activities Day. 92 et«4
