Despite problems in the past the club attracted a group of boisterous girls. This year at bas- ketball games, they either cheered or sold buttons and pom- poms, distinguishing themselves shirts. The Peppers also made the rest of the school aware of many athletic teams by plastering colorful posters to the bulletin boards announcing team games. Despite sore throats and writer's cramp, the girls maintained an en- thusiastic air among Weston stu- dents. l'm a Pepper t- ' At one of the many meetings, members of the pep club rally to promote school spirit.

And the Lord spake unto the heavens, saying Let there be light. And thus, a new order of gnomes, the Weston High School Lighting Crew, was formed. Liv- ing behind the walls and ceiling of the auditorium, these creatures could often be spotted scurrying down to Westport for soda or piz- za ttheir sole nourishmentb, again to return to their lairs behind the walls and work on. Often, their travels took them to strange and Master Electrician Richard Jeantheau works the spot out on the roof for Ski Film foreign places, such as the gym- nasium or courtyards, to cast light upon festivals of drama or music for the humans . The Baron, Ralph Forst, de- manded high standards of quality and expertise from his crew, from the veterans all the way down to the fledgling peonsf' While toil- ing on, they often reflected upon the ancient writings inscribed in the worn wood of the dimmer board: We the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impos- sible for the ungrateful. We have done so much with so little for so long, we are now qualified to do anything with nothing. As the sun set, this happy, close-knit group mounted their skateboards and sped off down the hallways and highways in their never-ending search for something . . . anything.

The Student Council, contrary to popular opinion, accomplished more than sponsoring an occa- sional dance during the 1979-80 school year. Under the direction of President Chris McMorrow and fellow officers Maggie Cleary, Caroline Nieuwenhuis, and Ga- briele Stein, the Council attempt- ed to bring together the interests of the majority of Weston High School students. In following an amendment to the constitution made by the 1978-79 Student Council, they reduced the number of elected class representatives from five to three and invited a representative from each school club and organization to become a regular voting member. In early December, they held an after- school workshop for these new members. Flooded with fresh con- cerns and ideas from the student body, officers began to communi- cate more freely to the adminis- tration, often conferring with Mr. Haas on current issues and deci- sions. In an effort to bring people together and encourage activities, the Council arranged a school- wide Christmas party and other fund raising activities thr- oughout the year.
