I' , 41 CHOW TIME! Dillon Brown reaches for some rolls at the M.S. B.B.Q. GIN! Jonathan Wong and Jason Boone plan their next moves. Once upon a time, in the little vil- lage of Palos Verdes, there was an academy atop the hill known as Chadwick School. And within this school, somewhere between the weight room and the fish pond, a small but noteworthy band of stu- dents roamed. They were known as the Middle School. The Middle School students were not that different from the Upper Schoolers. Sure, they were smaller, but they did all the same things, and perhaps with a little more genuine energy. They had a lot going on in their lives, too. During one particu- larly memorable year, 1987-1988, the students' efforts really shone through. The soccer, basketball and volley- ball teams pulled off their seasons with incredible amounts of energy and skill. The musicals that were put on by the students showed the grow- ing dramatic talents of the Middle Schoolers. The singing talents of the Middle School students were dis- played in the M.S. Chorus, various performances at Cabaret, the Christ- mas program and Grandparents' Day. The Jib exhibited a lot of change and growth in its third year, and the Ecology Club boasted a large number of M.S. participants. Fur- thermore, the Student Council got many things done, including bake sales and dances. Finally, many friendships were created. and from what I've seen and heard, those friendships made in the Middle School .. . well, they're made to last. -Belinda Fu Halfway House 21

IMMOBILE POLICE PROTECTION. In an at- tempt to control speeding on campus, speed bumps grew in the worst places where drivers would exceed the 20 MPH speed limit. 1 ,,l. M ., ffg7 ef -lx-i 12 - .

That's easy - a lot! Over the summer, student workers had two projects: to enlarge the bath- rooms near the auditorium, and build a deck ldonated by the class of 19875 outside Brogan. The new bath- rooms cut congestion at nighttime drama performances. The new deck was definitely needed to cut the crowd eating lunch around Brogan. A new traffic pattern, made in con- junction with resurfacing the senior lot, allowed speeding. The speeding led to the erection of speed bumps on campus. The traffic bumps caused congestion all the way down Acade- my Hill, so some of the bumps were removed to relieve congestion. Through a donation by the CMA, the Village got new playground equipment. There were an insur- mountable number of village stu- dents thankfull for the CMA's gener- osity. In the second semester, the Li- brary received a new VCR and televi- sion. Considering the amount of time spent in the AV Room, the english, history, and modern language courses were able to use the facilities to their full potential. Over spring break, the amphith- eater was enlarged. The old foliage was torn out, and new seating put in. Tentatively, the whole area will be cemented in, and benches added for seating. HOMELESS HELP. To help the homeless in Los Angeles, Wenny Maio buys a tee- shirt from Hannie Daniel at a concert benefit on campus. AGED AMPHITHEATER.
