Nancy Simmons was second and James Moses was third. These talented winners were given prizes at the Ftindge Alumni din- ner. The Graves competition was sponsored by the John W. Wood Scholarship Fund. Mr. Graves was a student at Rindge in the class of 1929. The contest which is named after him is in its 4th year. 61 st Caroline Close Essay Another essay contest was the Caroline Close Essay Con- test, sponsored by the English Department. The winner of the freshman class was Heather Thompson, from the Sophomore class, Amy Clark, and once again from the Junior class, Sarah Wheelock. tShe gradu- ated this year.l The Senior class winner was Lauren Hirshon. The contest has been around for 61 consecutive years, having started in 1923. Register Forum The Register Forum also sponsored a short story contest for the budding writer. The first prize of this contest went to Wil- liam Maxwell '87. His story was entitled, Wicked Sorrows . In second place was Zachary Dub- noff.

Teachers: We will be having a teachers broadcast during A 81 B lunch. News By Michele A. DeVasto The Key Club is a non-prof- it organization that donates money to various charities. The club is sponsored by the Kiwa- nis International of Cambridge and is a school service. The club was started when some boys got together to donate money to charity. When the girls in the various schools heard about this, they formed the K.B. Club, both are now co-ed. The president of the Key Club is Patrick Fitzgerald and the teacher-advisor is Mr. James O'Connor. The club has a lot of up-coming plans and hopes to be successful at them. The Register Forum will keep you updated on any changes or fu- ture plans.

Complete selection of their nationwide trips are to be found under Junior Class Activities Page 17 Senior Class Activities Raise Eyebrows Senior class activities over the past year and a half have caused several questions to be raised in the community.

Full details under Senior Class Activities Page 23 West Indies Braces For Second U.S. Invasion The U.S. State Department has denied that the United States is planning to destabilize this region of the world.

Clubs To Be Cut A decision is expected in the next five years as to which clubs at C.R.L.S. will be terminated. This situation has come about because the budget for club activities has now passed the ten million dollar mark. School Department officials will offer no comment at this stage as the computer has been unable to complete the list of clubs at C.R.L.S.

The staff has spent the past year in total isolation on the third floor of the Arts Build- ing, and was discovered by a team of custodians during the annual Spring cleaning. For all details see Yearbook Staff Page 183 Record Number of Teachers to Retire The closing of the school year will see the retirement of the largest group of teachers in the history of the school depart- ment. This sudden and unex- pected exodus has been brought on by the lack of park- ing spaces inthe garage. Faced with having to park strictly within the white lines or joining car pools, many faculty opted for early retirement.
