Chan 2. es Flavor SPA L ife Traditions Shape 69-70: A Year Like Never Before The Howdy Dance fused the words and emotions of San Marcos people with the current music by Blue into a mag- netic invitation to new friendships. The music of our marching band seemed to take on an unprecedented crispness within the visual framework of new uniforms. The classroom situation also changed with the addition of ten new teachers. This im- pressive group of new personalities offered unique viewpoints and methods to our students. Ideas were aired on the quad also, as the administrators and counselors spent their lunch hours outdoors clarifying their stands and listening to students. One of the most dramatically successful programs to in- crease enthusiasm was initiated this year by the cheerleaders. The scarlet and royal blue spirit oar was awarded at the end of each rally to the class displaying the most contagious spirit. Jim Brann and Steve Anderson share views with Mr. Mangus.

Opened by the bright and jazzy Stage Band, the show presented some of our teachers in the first of Mr. Black ' s sicits, a silly, graspingly rhythmic courtroom drama. Then, the Orchesis glided through the darkened auditorium as the multi-leveled stage came to life. Beautiful voices awakened us heralding the dawning of an age. But this dream was pierced by . iOO, a brief view of the pain of human cruelty. Gradually the internal warmth returned, a fire ignited and flamed up and the sun shone between people. A glimpse of the trivial was presented in the skit All Ameri- can Home, a hilarious and all too honest look at American com- mercialism. Then, the imaginary film between stage and audience was again ripped away. The A Cappelia and Madrigals ' Oliver! medley literally took your hand and warmed it. Mr, Mason, as Fagin, added a visual personality to the vibrant voices he guided as he also helped bring the good feelings of the audience bubbling to the surface. 14 Melanic- Grccnw.ild bell Hand Rose.
