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.

Ryland declines to comment on tense of French verbs. 74-French Club The 1982-1983 school year was a difficult one for the French Club. The new split lunch period made their usual culinary feats a bit harder to achieve, for lack of time. Nevertheless, they were able to produce such French delights as Crepes, Chocolate Mousse, onion soup, and of course, the much debated Quiche. Meeting every Wednesday during their respective lunch periods, both Lower and Upper school clubs could share the burden of cooking and cleaning in the kitchen, eating their creations the next day. In additon to cooking, both clubs could be heard singing such French songs as A Vous Dirai-.le Maman, ll est Trop Tard, and of course, Frere Jacque. The second semester was somewhat different for the upper club, thanks to sponsor Mrs. Ryland. Each meeting would be strictly conversational, this meant that nothing but French was to be spoken during the entire period. Despite minor difficulties and scheduling problems, the French Club was able to overcome these obstacles under the guiding hand of Mrs. Ryland and the club members passion for French food and culture. l i 'skvxsbi s F , I S N 'Ax f' . .. z ' 5 3
