Beat sets tone for student
By Cyndi Bacon
Of The Print
Tirso Barce has a love affair
going.
But, it's not an everyday kind
of affair.
It's with a set- of
drums, an audience and an array
of songs.
Barce, a full-time automotive
student at the College, plays-
music part-time with a four-
member group called The Ghost­
riders.
"I like to play everything that
is hard to play," Barce said. "We
play what the people like to
hear.
We try our best to be
good entertainers and make peo­
ple happy."
Born and raised in Iriga City,
Philippines, Barce started play­
ing music when he was eight
years old.
"When I was 12 I played with
small groups, th'en at the age of
16 I went to Guam and began to
play in my father's group at a
military base," Barce said. "At
17, I started playing with big
name bands.”
In Guam in 197-2, Barce met
Ric : Caoile, current Ghostrider
lead guitar player and singer,
and began playing music with
him with the Vip Tone Quartet
at the Tunnon Beach Hotel.
Caoile,
while on vacation
from Guam, was visiting friends
in Canby. Caoile's friends took
him to the Whitehorse Lounge
in Molalla where he met Peggy
Storey,
Whitehorse co-owner.
He was asked to sit in with the
current band, "Shades of Blue."
"Peggy offered me a steady
job with the band, so I went to
Guam, picked up my equipment
and Tirso and came to play at
the Whitehorse," Caoile said.
Caoile and Barce added a dif­
ferent flavor to the music played
by some of the American bands.
"Ghostriders In The Sky"
became it's theme song which
helped evolve the band's name to
The Ghostriders.
After playing at the White­
horse, the Ghostriders have since
played at Willy's in Milwaukie,
The Copper Penny, The Copper
Penny Two, Ghostrider Inn and
The Flower Drum in Portland.
The Shades of Blue members
are no longer with the Ghost­
riders and since then two other
members have been added, Bud­
dy Magistrado and Barce's bro­
ther, Steve, also of the Philip­
pines.
"People that heard us and
liked us were maybe getting tired
of American bands," Barce said.
"We were different. We were
foreigners."
"We play by the style of
whatever happens to come out,"
he said. "We play old and new
style music."
After graduating, which will
probably be another year, Barce
would like o work part-time in
the automotive field and part-
time playing music.
"I got into automotive be­
cause I just love cars," he said.
"That's why I take it."
Barce has recently added sing­
ing to his performances on the
percussion.
"I tried once to
play the guitar, but its not really

my line," he said.
The Ghostriders used to do
some comedy shows, according
to Barce, and he still carries
some of that comedy through­
out his present performances.
A trademark of Barce's is to
remove his shirt during a drum
solo and go into the audience
playing tables, chairs and glasses
with his drumsticks. The crowd
usually goes crazy.
The group is presently per­
forming at the Flower Drill

Welding class projects prove functional and artistic!
By Scott Starnes
Of The Print
Nine weeks of school have
passed and the fruits’ of Jeff
.. olatore's
ornamental
iron
course have taken their finished
form.
Completing its first
term,
Molatore said that he expected
practical and functional projects
with iron welding rather than
merits," Molatore said.
The course obje tive of the
ornamental iron course was that
each student was to have com­
pleted at least one project at the
end of the term.
"Many of the students came
to thé class with pre-conceived
ideas already in mind.
Their
finished works consist of two
plant hangers, two captains
chairs, one table lamp, a garden
cart, and one small dining room
table," Molatore said.
Traditional metal work was
emphasized
throughout
the
course which consisted of scroll
work and classical styles. The
students were given a manual
which illustrated various pro­
jects they could do if they de­
sired. The students rejected the
projects of the
manual and
directed their attentions and
labors to personally designed
projects.
"My wife Marcia, preferred
to construct contemporary metal
designed pieces. She has a back­
ground in art and applied her
knowledge in making grates for
hobbyish or artistic composi­
tions in the course. Molatore's
assumption proved correct when
all of the completed projects
took on a practical and function­
al purpose as well as being
unique in design.
- "The class was intended for
functional as well as decorative
purposes in welding and not to
exist purely for its aesthetic
security purposes,"
Molatore
said.
Now that the students have
completed their projects, a re­
quired production
evaluation
will be due at the end of the
term. It will contain questions
concerning the time, changes,
materials and practicality the
project involves and will be ex­
pected from each
individual
student, he said.
A metal sculpture class is
being offered this summer at the
College which will explore the
design concepts of sculpture. It
will also consist of technical
training in metal working ar
cording to Molatore.
