The club held fundraisers and booksales hoping to finance their trip. Club sponsor, Mary Torrez, along with club officers Del Smith-President, Wendy Brown-Vice President, and Joannine Kramarsic-SecretaryfTreasurer, and other club members made their trip to the Purgatory Ski area in Durango, Colorado. The skiing was great and the snow abundant. 1-PRESIDING FIGURE.

The greatest steps toward improvement came in the organization of the magazine. First was splitting the magazine into upper and lower school divisions. The lower school edition was run by Ms. Tidwell and virtually all the lower school teachers, while Mrs. Liberty sponsored and organized the upper school personnel. The upper school's group underwent the greatest amount of modification every witnessed, with changes in its structure and divisions at the center. Three autonomous sub-staffs each had unique responsibilities: Editorial Staff Uana Giles, editor, Lauri Ebel, Kathy Kelley, Jowell Lydon, and Denise Sanchezj responsible for evaluation of material submitted, Visual Arts Staff fMerlyn Liberty, editor, Maureen Jeffrey, Joe Sommers, and Alan Wacondaj responsible for art work, Business Staff Uennifer Kellogg, editor, Shelly Abraham, and Deanna Campbellj which met the financial needs of the magazine. Perhaps the most significant change was the demand for higher quality material. This year's La Chispa stands as a high water mark in the history of the publication. l-GETTING IT TOGETHER, La Chispa Staffers James Brackeen, Deanna Campbell, Denise Sanchez, Alan Wa- conda, Shelly Abraham, Jana Giles, Merlyn Liberty, De- anna Parsons, Lauri Ebel, Maureen Jeffrey, and Joe Som- mers, attempt a formal pose. 2-STILL GETTING IT TOGETHER 3-NOT QUITE TOGETHER-Close enough! 4-BEGGING FOR ALMS, Kathy Kelley, James Brack- een, and Jowell Lydon, raise money for La Chispa. 5-BRANCHING OUT, Merlyn Liberty, Senior, explores , perspectives for La Chispa visuals. i Literary Magazine-71

This year was unlike years past for the Lower School Ski Club in that New Mexico and Colorado experienced large amounts of steady snowfall early on in the season. The club had only one school sponsor, Mrs. Ryland, who organized all the trips. Some of Sandio's more courageous parents, Mrs. Teitelbaum and Mrs. Flint in particular, were co-sponsored forthe club and enioyed the company ofthe club members on each ofthe three trips that were taken. Two of the trips were in January and one at the end of February. All were great successes with a group of our 45 students participating in each. Beautiful Colorado supplied the club with Purgatory, a favorite spot. Students agreed that it was exciting to get away from home. The determining success factor was the snow supply and the en- ergetic Lower School Ski Club members. l-PRE-PANDEMONIUM PA USE, Doug Feierman and Molly Benson take the pause that refreshes before returning to the slopes ol Purgatory. 2-READYING FOR A RUN, Erika Fredrickson, Camille Campbell, Molly Benson, Tim Coon and other Purgatorios head for the slopes at the start of Lower School Ski Club's January adventure. 3-SKIMOGULS RETURNING VICTORIOUS, 8th grader Steve Savage and 7th grader David O'Brien carry tired bodies back to the lodge after a full day and a final run down Lower Hades. . 9.
