Mrs. Roxana Tofferi, who was born in Ludlow where generations of her family have lived, plays both offensive and defensive. In her role as Vice-Principal of B.R.H.S. she takes the offensive while as advisor of the Student Council she rises to the defensive. When not stalking guilty students, Mrs. Tofferi enjoys knitting, swimming, walking, photography, and listening to many kinds of music, provided “the volume is under control.” (1st Row Sitting L to R) Sandy Ahonen.

The 1982-83 Student Council carried out many new and ex- citing projects for the benefit and enjoyment of the B.R.H.S. stu- dent body. One of their biggest in- vestments, a stereo system, was purchased to be rented out to classes for dances and activities with the money going for the pur- chase of tapes. Another invest- ment, a juice vending machine, has netted a hefty profit. Three new clubs for Student Council members were organized: the Photo club which bought a new camera, the stereo club, and the spirit club. In November of 1982, the Student Council hosted the Keene State Jazz Band which gave an excellent performance. They also organized and ran the annual Winter Carnival. STUDENT COUNCIL 27

Banner, drama and the band also meet at this time to cram in extra work. If you are in a competitive mood you can try to beat your opponents in a game of volleyball or ping pong. All in all, it is brought about for all students and faculty to have a good time. This is what happens if you don’t go to ac- Learning new ones? tivity period! 26
