Hlt was like a kung fu movie, people in white robes practicing defensive moves on each other, said Robles. I thought to myself that I really didn't belong. But that soon changed. Robles, the youngest member in an adult aikido class, now feels as if those white robed people are family, and she can't imagine not being a part of it. The people are so positive and friendly, x 5, l said Robles. They make you feel like you are part of a big family. They encourage you in everything, and are interested in you as a person. Aikido is a non-violent martial art, a way of fighting without really fighting. For Robles, it has provided a sense of well-being and self-assuredness. I have much more confidence than I ever had before, said Robles. Aikido is wonder- ful. Just being at the dojo makes me feel good. I love it. by Helen Schorr .,..1.,..-.-1 fr 1-5, . mum WX: ni?-fm , A X . . v h 4 5 V se, ,qw Q : 5 - V , lf rfifxx . , Y, I , no is I 'ai l'-TSX? !I'k: Il' - 5' 5 'K rf g A -' 5 ' W S' Y f I1 , , E x . 2.-irq E I ' , I I ' ' I . .... .

Playing in the band Talon, which mem- bers include seniors Nathan Stark and Mark Jordan, Hitchcock filled the position of lead guitar. Hitchcock has also been in two previous bands, Terminal Velocity and Blitzk- rieg, but seemed to be happy with Talon Four years ago, Hitchcock's love affair with guitar came when he heard Randy Rhoads' Over the Mountain. From then on, Hitchcock knew he wanted to learn to manipulate a guitar for himself. Hitchcock's material came from himself. l had a few lessons, but l'm mostly self- taught, said Hitchcock. Hitchcock's other major asset was that he composed his own music, and can play virtually any song if given the time. Hitchcock's major influences included Rhoads, Eddie Van Halen, lron Maiden, and, quite suprisingly, Bach. To Hitchcock, Bach is the composer who influenced all the music of today. Bach inspired Hitchcock to compose his own music as he has. Another major part of Hitchcock's life: drama. He joined the Tokay theatre trip to the Soviet Union as lnjun Joe in director Larry Linda's rendition of Tom Sawyer. l love performing in any situatuon because it gets my adrenaline going and I really do well, commented Hitchcock. Hitchcock also enjoyed reading and writing poetry, and was a member of an under- ground writer's club. However, guitar was his first love above all other of his activities. He went home after drama rehearsals and played his guitar. Upon mentioning this, Hitchcock commented, I really feel l can express myself through the guitar, as an actor and a writer. by Todd Barnes 4, rw. 2 ' 'rf ., ,f-'rf 93. 514. 'Wi' 5 ,
