MissCorberry Mrs. Pataky Dr. Lavergne Miss Ciannavei Mr. Gaudette Mrs. Drotar The Language Department had an active year this year, the highlight being International Week. Among the events sponsored were a feature-length French film, a Spanish Flamenco dance, a Mardi Gras party, and visits from foreign students. Each day in the cafe¬ teria a foreign dish was served as part of the fes¬ tivities. A number of field trips were arranged as part of the curriculum also. The French 41 class attended a performance of Phedre in Wellesley, given by a famous French company. The Spanish 31 and 41 classes attended an all-day program in Boston fea¬ turing intercultural events and a performance by Jose Greco, a famous Spanish dancer. Various classes also had the chance to indulge in some foreign dishes either in a restuarant, in school, or at a teacher ' s home. Among these were a German dinner at home of Mrs. Gelinas, and the Spanish 31 class at the Casa Mexico. 21

Mr. Bachini Mr. Clark Miss Thomas This year the instrumental and vocal groups of the Music Department have been very active. These groups consist of the Marching band, Concert Band, Stage Band, Concert Choir, Chamber Singers and The Har- moneers. For a look at their activities, please see pages 62-65, 198-201, and 216-217. What does music mean to those involved? Perhaps these statements will lend some insight. ' Through a high school music program, students learn that they were given lungs for more than brea¬ thing and that being full of hot air isn ' t so bad! Listening to music is great, but making it is the best. Music is better than a sport because it will always be with you and you don ' t get hurt playing it! 20
