By joining any one of our media clubs, such as the radio station, newspaper staff, or photography club, students are able to enhance their communication abilities. Being a member means learning not only the field itself, with actual hands on training, but also the experience of organizing arfd working with others to produce the final product. The output of these clubs is not directed solely towards our student body. For ex¬ ample, the photography club sends their pictures to the school paper, yearbook, and to local newspapers. Our school newspaper, The Red Black, is often seen for sale in local stores and articles in it regularly include features on town and community affairs. WHSR, Winchester High School’s Radio, can be heard all over town, as people crank up the popu¬ lar station. The opportunity to learn some¬ thing new and challenging, is what makes these clubs in a class by themselves. Media 13 m

D.C. in ’83” was the beginning ot a com¬ petitive tradition. These expectations con¬ tinue with the band’s acceptance to the Peach Bowl to be held in Atlanta, Georgia the last week in the ’84 year. What is seen everytime a crowd of spir¬ ited Sachems gather? Sachem painter’s caps!! Not only do these colorful addi¬ tions brighten our spirits, but they are a vital factor in the fund raising efforts to send our band to Georgia. Supporting these efforts, the band is holding a stu¬ dent-run auction. Helping Ms. Miller in the planning of these activities are the drum majors Matt Kennedy, Tim McDougall, Margaret Matheson, and Jennifer Crockett. These leaders bring the individual members to¬ gether, forming a vivacious musical team. Every member is important. It’s a good chance to be with your friends and work together. At the same time you have fun!” remarks Ginny Askew. Although Ginny relates the better points of belonging to the unseen dedica¬ tions each member undertakes. This time and energy does not go unnoticed, we, those who enjoy their weekly perfor¬ mances have become their greatest fans. Summing up the feeling of being a per¬ former, Suzanne Perlitsh exclaims, It is a great feeling to increase the school spirit when performing on the half-time field.” In step with the beat, the Sachem marching band prepares for our prize-winning half-time show.
