College to apologize to Bush for professor
UPI, by Lou Marano Original Article

The president of a California college is sending a letter to President Bush apologizing for an instructor who gave students extra credit for writing anti-war missives to the White House. Citrus College President Louis E. Zellers wrote that Prof. Rosalyn Kahn "did abuse her authority" in assigning students in her Speech 106 class to write letters to Bush protesting the possible war with Iraq.

Well, here it is, all the current Aztec Mumbo-Jumbo.
The band has had a great season. Band director Susie Marin and Drum major Regina Alba pushed us all the way to a first on our very last show. We've worked really really hard all year, or two, or three years, and to finally have a successful year is a good feeling. Even though we didn't take home trophies at EVERY field show, when we did, we took them with a flourish of pride, dignity, and a whooooooole lot of Aztec spirit. There were people in the stands saying "Azusa, who the hell...???" You could definitely tell who Azusa was when we were sitting in the stands, we were the ones who just WOULDN'T SHUT UP! Band ROCKS! Love all of you and good luck next year!!!!

Aztec Singers is just about to start the Christmas show season, and WE LOOK GOOD!!!! This year we have 2nd year new dresses and a few old classic songs on our repertoire, but, we perform them with all the same Aztec flare. So far our repertoire for competition season looks to be: "Back Here"~ BB Mak, "Your Momma Don't Dance", "Superstition" ~ Stevie Wonder, and "Where Would We Be" as our a capella piece. We've already started working on these numbers in order to get ready for our first show of the year, the XXVII annual Aztec Sing, held at Citrus College on January 25th.

Azusa's Drama department has a relatively new face, Mr. Kevin Dempsey.
He's doing an awesome job, and he really takes the drama department to a new
place. [more on the drama and other things later, I must go.]

There are groups that have been developed recently. It's called REACH. It's basically helping the students decide what they want to do in their future. Allot find it as a kick back thing; I find it as a great opportunity to see what I'm good at. In my reach group, I will be in a band and play at the Azusapalooza. The Azusapalooza is an annual gathering with some high school bands perform, where different clubs do their fund raisers (French club...), a place where radio stations are welcome, etc. 2 years ago, a SKA band played. Last year, quite a few bands performed, and power 106 was there, unfortunately Kroq was a no-show for the 2nd year in the row!

The Azusa high's marching band placed first over Gladstone earlier this week.

Ed Cheney's still here! He looks the same as he did in the picture taken somewhere in the 60's! he is also a cross country coach.

The school has been newly painted at the beginning of this school year.

There's a chess club which is run by Mr. Dolin.
