SCOTIA CANO- ON THE MOVES “To achieve a higher level of pride among the band members” was the overall objective of this year’s concert and marching band as seen by director Linden Gregory. Mr. Gregory, a graduate of Potsdam and the University of Michigan, issued many changes for this year’s music group in order to raise the quality and appearance of the band. Evening and Saturday practices were added to the group’s schedule in order to make their marching the best it could be. This year’s marching band was led by drum major Jennifer Simpson. Section leaders included Emily Orr, Kim Rig- gert, Brenda Quirk, Robbie McDonough and Erin Connelly. Students and spectators alike are reacting positively to the new ap- pearance and improvement of the band. Seeing the progress made this year, it’s definitely evident that Scotia- Glenville’s band is on the move to the top! 12

An Evening te Remember” The limousines pulled slowly up to the curb ... It was almost dusk as the girls in their long, flowing gowns were escorted from the cars by their tuxedo- clad dates. A special kind of aura was felt in the air that night in May as our annual Scotia-Glenville Junior-Senior Prom opened once again in 1984 at the Hall of Springs. While some of us stood outside on the veranda waiting to go in, others went for a relaxing stroll through the terraced walkways on the grounds sur- rounding the beautiful old building. Once inside the large glass doors, we could see the red, white, and pink decor that helped to make this night so special. Balloons and crepe-paper were tied to the railings, and there were beautiful, fresh flowers on each and every table. At each end of the huge room was a large glistening fountain with smaller fountains of punch surrounding them. After dinner was served, the band began to play, and a rainbow of colors could be seen on the dance floor as we swayed to the sounds of “Bittersweet.’’ The night continued with dancing and laughter until 1:00 AM rolled around. It seemed like the evening had come and gone much too swiftly, but for some of us, it had only just begun. Many of us went for breakfast after the prom and to places like Riverside Fun Park, The Great Escape, and Lake George the next day. Prom weekend is always a tiring one, but luckily we had Sunday to recuperate. One thing was for certain, the weekend was filled with shared laughter and memories... memories that we will cherish forever. 14
