round. Band students selling fresh fruit straight from Florida is also a yearly fund raiser, but this year the profits will go to- ward new uniforms instead of funds for an exchange concert. One of the English electives that you can take is the Student Intelligencer, the newspaper of the high school. In every Wednesday’s edition of the Fal- mouth Enterprise one full page appears from Mr. Winer’s jour- nalism class. The course is open to students in the tenth grade and older and the main focus is creating the Intelligencer each week, something that has been done for the past forty years. It’s not an easy job - a lot of hard work goes into the Intelli- gencer. You have to possess more than a slight interest in writing to do a good job - you should have a lot of natural curiosity and have the energy to really track down a story. Every Friday the students must think up their own story ideas. They have until the beginning of class the follow- ing Friday to pass the article into the editor. There are no set lim- its on what can be reported on, but it should be well-written. Mr. Winer proof reads all the copy to correct any grammar or usage mistakes. The class sub- mits the articles and a few pic- tures each week to the Enterpise where the material is laid out and printed. -Becky Minervino J. Cardoza J.

In this sometimes almost too boring institution called school, a person can find themself lost in seemingly useless and uncreative work. But have no fear, my dear, believe it or not, there is an an- swer to this terminal boredom. If you take a long, hard look at the in-school and out-of-school ac- tivities, you can actually find hope. Some may be surprised to hear it, but you can find some creative things to do within the school walls. One new activity for those in- terested in color guard was final- ly underway this year. Winter Guard, under the advisment of Kirk Esgrow, was put into action. The squad consists of fifteen members, including: four rifles, four hand flags, or sabers, and eight flags. The fifteen girls meet regulary every Monday night in the field house to practice. They were scheduled for four exhibi- tions this year, including one at the Lawerence School in March. Other schools were invited to come and a performance was put on for an open audience. It may sound a lot like the Col- or Guard, but there is one major difference. Says this year’s floor captain, Ann Welch, “Winter Guard lets us have a lot more free expression.” Instead of marching to band music, the girls are able to choose their own songs and use their creativity to make up routines using a lot of dance. They also get to use their own props. Another major part of creativ- ity at Falmouth High School is the music department. Band, Chamber Ensemble, and Chorus can be taken by anyone. Stage Band and Repertory Singers can be taken after being accepted by audition. The largest musical group is the band. During the fall season when combined with the spirit groups it totals over two hundred people. Class is held everyday and during marching season in the fall, there are two after school rehersals every week. Be- sides performing during half time shows at football games, there are at least two concerts every year and sometimes the band competes at competitions against other local high schools. Judges rate each group on their performance and a parade fol- lows, but the entries are not in competition against each other; they are trying to improve themselves. Every other year the band goes on an exchange concert. To raise money for such trips, there is a group of big-hearted band par- ents who hold fund raisers year Top; Other cast members look- on as Matt Malone, Anthony Ca- taline and Jamie Cardoza re- hearse a scene from Man of La Mancha.

[i 4T( iPgs 7 SoB f u t? ' Many students at the high school hold after school jobs in order to make extra money. We asked several of the students the following questions. “Where do you work after school?” “Have you ever had any interesting ex- perience s while working?” These are some of the answers. Tim Utley - “I work at the Coonamesset, and one day when I was working, I had to bring a bottle of Perrier to one table. While I was carrying it, it tipped over on the tray and I ended up spilling Perrier on the heads of all the people I passed.” Todd Humphrey - “When 1 worked for Crosby’s boat yard, I drove their trucks. One time I was driving one of their trucks down a narrow road, and when I turned to avoid hitting a tree, I ended up | side-swi pping another.” Joel Pickering - “I work down at M.B.L. feeding the slugs they are using for experiments. One time when I was there to feed them, some of the slugs got really hungry and began eating one an- other.” -Sandy Gibbons Top right; Amy Guiliano, a Senior, makes some extra money at Bradlees arranging merchandise.
