Such was the case for the mighty Wolfpack Band. The Band of '78-'79 attested to the fact that West abounded in first-class musical talent. Literally under the direction of Director Mr. Wiese and Captain Mike Flodin, the Band spent considerable time proving its musical merit. Aligned in flawless formation, the Band marched at football games, the Special Olympics and played for home basketball games. The Band played over six power-packed concerts, sometimes combining the Stage Band with the Concert Band. In addition to the Christmas Concert and the musical montage of Music Festival concerts, the Band played a November concert and used the 5700.00 in proceeds to purchase Thanksgiving turkeys for the Salvation Army. To finance their tour of South-central Alaska, Band members sold ice cream and candy, made inventories, washed cars, and played in a Christmas music marathon. Look forward to something different in '79-'80. Mr. Wiese plans to organize two Stage Bands which will focus on Fortyish Dance Band and Swing style music , while the Concert Band will be geared to contemporary literature Cmusicj . In regards to a future Wolfpack Band, Mr. Wiese commented, lt should be a strong band next year since we're back to Seniors . .iii - Xia A - .

What do you call a motley collection of Trekkies, Star Wars lovers and Battlestar Galactica fans? A Science Fiction Club, naturally. West Valley's Science Fiction Club offers a place for science fiction groupies to get together in order to exchange books, views, and computer games. Headed by Adviser Kathy Webb, this imaginative group met every other week to discuss current events in the world of sci-fi. This past year, the Club's main project was a sale of used books to the student body. This sale was the CIub's main fund-raiser. The major occupation of the Club members, however, was not the sale, but involvement in the computer game Star Web. Hans Stragier, the founder of the game at West, put long hours into the perfection of the game's computer program. Star Web, along with the standard sci-fi game, Dungeons and Dragons, kept the minds of Science Fiction Clubbers in perpetual motion. So, while the members of the last remaining Battlestar search for the planet Earth, several members of West Valley seem to have found science fiction. Nanu-Nanu. s.
