BELOW: Nick Papastavros, Curt McCracken, and Charlie Taylor hold out, even to the rain, for marching band. BOT¬ TOM: Jon questions the meaning of marching band as he holds his trombone proudly. BOTTOM LEFT: The orches¬ tra makes an impressive performance at the winter concert. Something bade of the bizarre when, instead of the normal missing flute or piccolo in the early fall, a whole tuba disappeared from its shelf. This year’s orchestra was sure to be different. Not only did Mr. Mori establish a weekly string orchestra and string quartet, but he also doubled the size of the viola section, and sextupled the cello section. The orchestra attended a string instru¬ ment maintenance workshop in the win¬ ter given by local instrument restorer Jerry Weene, and some members even heard a concert in Symphony Hall. The music played on, even with all the year’s activity, for the tuba was found mysteri¬ ously nearer the storage section for pic¬ colos. by Rob Fallon Once upon a time there was a little trombone player who had no place to play. One day while attending Weston High School, he heard about Mr. Mori and his magical marching band. Finally the little lonesome trombone player had a place where he belonged. This young musician displayed the sentiment felt by the other band members in that they too had a place to play. by The Phantom Writer ORCHESTRA Front Row: Tarquin Szekely, Elise Jakabhazy, Debbie Bayster, Lesley Mazzotta, Matt Karchmer, Karl Yen.

BELOW: Sheila practices for the majorettes who perform at Wildcat games and at the pep rally. Crowd Pleasers CHEERLEADERS-This was a wonderful football season, and if we had to come up with a reason, It was not only the players who were tops, But our rowdy” fans, good old mom and pops. No matter where we played, or what the weather, Their spirit kept the team together. You had a great year, you were all on the beam, Due to the effort of coaches and team. Along with Coach Neild we think you did fine, And as you know we like to Party all the Time. Dedication is one word that sums up the majorettes. Working traditionally from 2:45 to 5:00 daily, these twelve girls showed tremen¬ dous school spirit. From the homecoming game to the Thanksgiving game, they contin¬ uously showed their support either by twirling, or weather forbidding, by spectating. The ma¬ jorettes could be seen at every game. At the pep rally, the majore ttes performed a series of routines to represent their unending school spirit, and at Thanksgiving they continued to support their school by twirling frozen batons in the middle of a snow storm. Being a major¬ ette is one sport in which you work hard and at the same time have fun and support the school!
