Burdened by school and other concerns, some WHS students sought to take refuge in the Con- necticut wilderness. More than a dozen members of the Backpacking Club explored the Appalachian Trail and various other sites in Cornwall, New Milford, and Kent in both day and overnight trips. Guided by advi- sor Mr. Richard Kuhlbars, they braved frigid Weather, sore feet, and dehydrated food.

l l Past organizational problems and lack of interest in drama were relieved by a small group of dedi- cated students who took it upon themselves to keep Company alive. The boldly painted bulletin board, announcing meetings and auditions, kept students informed. Announced late in September, Our Town, the fall play, enter- tained Weston audiences in late November. During the course of the year, other ideas emerged among members of the executive council, and one was put into ef- fect: Cyndi Nelson, a senior, head- ed The New Children's Theatre, which presented Eeyoreis Christ- mas Present to the Middle and Elementary schools.

fm . The German Club is meeting today at 2:1O. After having been informed by the morning an- nouncements, the 15 members of the club, under the direction of Miss Doris Tassin, met to update their plans. Germany was brought to Wes- ton in the form of an Oktoberfest, sponsored by the club. Members participated by bringing various home-cooked German foods such as apple strudel, Wurst tsausagej, sauerkraut, and pastry. To many students' surprise, German folk music mingled not unpleasantly with Led Zeppelin and the Bea- tles, although German music pre- dominated.
