Take Me Dancing Tonight 12:35 Definitely unprepared, I failed a pop quiz and determined my class average to be about 69%. 2:16 My last class of the day and I was almost late, but I zipped in just as the teacher was about to close the door. Totally exhausted from the strenuous mental and physical activity of the day, and since this was study hall, I de- cided to catch a few winks. 3:00 The bell finally rang its melodious note — A real joy to my ears! Off to the car I rushed to find my battery dead. 3:15 After a jump from a friend, I drove home and wondered how I could possibly top this day in the weeks to come. 3:30 About to sit back in my easy chair with a tall glass of ice cold tea, the phone rang. It's for me — I've been called in to work. (I have to ask myself how much longer I can go on like this.) 5:30 Busy finishing up my job for the day, 1 received another phone call. . . It's Him!! He wants to take me out tonight; I can't believe it. Maybe things are looking up after all. 6:00 I rush home and plan” an outfit for my evening on the town. 7:00 After 30 minutes of calming myself down, the doorbell rings and the butterflies start up again! 7:45 We eat dinner and nothing out of the ordinary happens. Knock on wood! 8:00 He asks me what I feel like doing? My response: Take me dancing tonight... Opening 3

‘Tftccaicf MAKES IT WORK For the most part, a student's life at TCHS involves music. Whether it is pop, rock, country, or even classical, music makes everything work. The band plays a major role in keeping the spirit alive. This oc- curs not only during halftime at a football game, but also during pep-rallies. Yet perhaps the most spirit- filled activity occurs on Fridays when the band members and a jam-box join forces with the upper and lower classes and rock out in the halls. As for the Seniors, they enjoy listening to their favorite sounds in the parking lot. As lunch is winding down. Seniors pull out their speakers and crank up the sounds. This gives them their last minute shot of energy before the dreaded bell rings and once again classes begin. Still, on a more mellow note, the chorus lends a bit of class to the scene. The chorus fills the halls with their melodious voices singing classical music or the beloved Alma Mater. Left: Victor Holmes jams with the box; Above: Andy DeGuire plays to an empty hall. Opening 5
