Trumpet Fife And D um Heralding horns and deafening drums blasted off another exciting year of band. With Kyle Tatum as president, the band started on a strong note, adding school spirit to the football games under the direc- tion of Jennifer Wicker. The pep band ad- ded spirit to all the home basketball games with Tom Millon at the helm. In addition, the band entertained the community at Ai- ken's Makin' the Christmas concert and the annual Spring Concert. The band felt especially proud because they were able to wear their new uniforms, purchased by the Tyrone Davis and Mike Dorland stand at parade rest during the installation ceremony.

The Color Guard is under the direction of Mrs. Katherine Brooks with captain Anne Margaret Summerall. The uniforms added color and excitement to the end of a week of festivities. This year they went to the WorId's Fair in Knoxville, Tennessee. They marched in a 1 hour parade and entertained the crowd with a concert at the Fair. Instead of stay- ing in hotel rooms, the band stayed in a sixty acre mobile home park on the fair grounds. The band has been in touch with historical events on their last two spring excursions. The World's Fair, the first since Seattle in 1961, is particularly impor- tant because it is the first time a World's Fair has been held in the South. Last year the band was in Washington, D.C. on Pentagon March 30, 1981, touring the when President Ronald Reagan was shot by John Hinckley, Jr. At the beginning of the year, James -Kitchings, director of the band, said that the band, with its thirty-five new members, had the potential to become an outstand- ing band. Through their many activities they have proven this to both the commu- nity and themselves. The NJROTC drilled itself to perfection, and the battalion provided its services many times throughout the year: escorting girls at the Homecoming, presenting the colors at the Dedication, and appearing in the Edgefield and Aiken parades. Under the direction of Lieutenant J.D. Wiggins and Master Chief Petty Officer Blichen- staff, the squad visited the Aiken Youth Correctional Center, where the South Si- ken Marching Buccaneers performed a drill formation and the Color Guard pre- sented the colors. An installation of Offi- cers was held on October, 22. The spring proved to be a very busy time for the NJROTC members. In March, they attend- ed the l.I.S.C. field meet where the drill, rifle and athletic teams competed. Other competitions included the Clemson Meet, and the Aiken County Field Meet. For all of the 140 members, the Annual Inspection was held in February, with Inspecting Offi- cer Captain McPadden attending.

Generally these classes run from the Sopho- more through the Senior year. Starting in their Sophomore year, students take govern- ment and economics in which they learn about the present day government and its func- tions. They study the County Government, the State Govern- ment, and eventually the Feder- al Government. The study of government is important be- cause government has always played a vital role in American Society. Since the laws of this country are so important, gov- tg ,V K.. .k,,-:V 5.59, B --me 4 'FN at - item... ,lm ,nnnnwsg l Cnmrnt T - an k y C2?:,f.'l . iz . 'V ,, f Q., 'W-.5 ernment students take a close look at all types of government in order to learn the differences between systems. The Junior year is Ll.S. Histo- ry! ln this course, students start with the original thirteen colo- nies and learn how they won their independence from Great Britan. They also study how the United States became what it is today. Civilization takes over during the Senior year. ln this course, students study past civiliza- tions and how they evolved into present day societies. Un- der the leadership of Mrs. Shir- ley Hasty, the students eagerly delve into the philosophy of past eras. Psychology, on the other hand, is another popular high school subject. In this class, students study why human be- ings and animals behave the way they do. Psychology stu- dents study all kinds of human behavior, normal and abnor- mal, making the course fasci- nating. Though many feel that social studies is something that has to be endured, the tidbits that can be picked up in the classroom add a little to the spice of life. Keith Parker made such an impression on last year's psychology students that Mrs. Hayes, the new psychology teach- er, invited him back this year. After a week of exams Mrs. Player's fifth period economics class takes a break while she gives out the govern- ment books. ' Government, History And PsychoIogyj7l
