V Making sure all the entries will be correctly typed, Chris Nordell proofreads and recopies them neatly Chris who worked business section ofthe yearbook staff applied her journalistic knowledge to the Renaissance. Ideas Renaissance, the Liter- ary Magazine, was com- posed of original work submitted by the stu- dents. The editor ofthe 1982 Renaissance edition, Shelia Ryan, put in lots of extra time to pull the magazine together. Carla Tomaso, a writer of plays and stories her- self, proved a big help as the advisor. I believe Renaissance is a very im- portant part of Alverno life. It gives students the Reborn opportunity to see their work in print and encour- ages them to view cre- ativity as a crucial element in their education, stat- ed Ms. Tomaso. All of the students' creativity and unique entries were sub- mitted, and the staff members chose the ones that would appear in the magazine. The Renais- sance was then distribut- ed to the students, with- out charge, after it was completed.

J T l Something to ote I've been in the Glee Club for four years, and each year has been dif- ferent. I've gotten a lot of experience, I love to sing, and we get to perform in a major show at the end of the school year, which is a blast to do! stated Kathy Mitcheltree, a sen- ior in the Crlee Club. Members enthusiastically agreed that anytime is the right time for music. Even though the Crlee Club was held as a class during third period, the members sometimes practiced during lunch break or after school for performances. The best of times, stated Lori Hoeffer, a spirited mem- ber, are during perfor- mances. Singing in front of an audience gave the mem- bers the opportunity to show their talents. The group sang at Bullocks, Assumption Grammar School in Pasadena, a vari- ety of Christmas parties, and, of course, for the student body. Music is just one of those things that can put a person in a very good mood. It's magical! was the reply of Paige johnson, a very en- thusiastic member. Mrs. Reed also shared a lot of her experienced talent with the group, and helped things run smoothlyxb A Members of the Glee Club stand perfectly still as they sing in front of the school. The audience gradually joined in and participated while look ing forward to Christmas, and sharing their enthusiasm. 62 Glee Club
