In his first year at Berlin High School, Mr Avi Orn-stein organized Ophelia, a group designed to serve the- town and the state, and to develop leadership abilities in its members. Activities held during the year included the School Turkey contest, which raised over $100.00 for the food bank of New Britain Salvation Army, and Eyes for the Needy, a collection of old eye glasses and cases. A group of Ophelia members attended a conference at the University of Connecticut sponsored by the Alpha Phi Omega, the National Service Fraternity. Ophelia is based on APO and is recognized by them. 2fi — Service Club Ophelia Ophelia Club: First Row: Stephen Lund, Chris Larson, and Jon Dailey.

 Transition First Row: George Siriotis, Brenda Stabert, and Maura Liegiot. Second Row John Dailey, Dan Schribert, Gary Symolon, Chris Urso, and James Schribert TRANSITION Transition, the Berlin High pep band, began practicing together in May of 1980. The newly formed band went through many personnel changes, therefore the name Transition seemed appropriate. The band consists of Gary Symolon, vocals and drums; Johnathan Daley, percussion and vocals; Maura Liegeot, keyboards and vocals; Jim Schribert, lead guitar; Dan Schribert, base; Chris Urso, saxophone; George Siriotis, trumpet; and Brenda Stabert, trumpet. Performing at home basketball games, the band played a variety of jazz-rock. One of their foremost responsibilities was to accompany the Drill Team and Color Guard at the basketball games. The band also played at the Berlin Fair, performed a benefit concert for the Italian Earthquake Relief Fund, provided music at middle school drop-ins, and played at many Midget Football games. Before the basketball begins, Gary Symolon checks all of his equipment. As the varsity basketball team starts their warm-ups, George Siriotis, Dan Schribert, and Chris Urso play. THE COMMITTEE Eight years ago, when students were given the right to smoke in school, the Smoking Committee was formed to insure that this right would not be abused. Under the leadership of Mr. David Matthews and headed by Co-chairmen Lori Johnson and Mark Berger, the Smoking Committee is open to juniors and seniors. During their study halls students are assigned to the smoking area and are responsible for cleaning and maintaining order in the area. The committee is also responsible for helping to clean Senior Court. Due to the smoking committee's efforts, students have retained their smoking privileges. Smoking Cofflmillrr Find Rim Mary Zovich.
