Don't Ask Them To Clean The Pans A gourmet meal in the style of the Old Country? And speaking of country, how about a country breakfast of delicious pancakes and sausage? Well, not exactly, but you can be sure to find something close at the annual Fitchburg High Band Spaghetti Supper and Pancake Breakfast. The culinary wonderment starts in the fall with the Spaghetti Supper. This year's supper wasn't visited by any freak storms, but everyone had a good time anyway. The talents of the F.H.S. Cafeteria Staff were brought into play to create the feast, including the cooking of that world renouned spag, and the band members were enlisted as servers, waiters and waitresses, salad makers, and a slew of other jobs they aren't suited for. Later in the year comes the ever popular Pancake Breakfast. By this time the band has become proficient with the skills needed to provide the best in dining comfort. Again acting as a horde of serving dervishes they sling the (below) You're smiling now Miss Gilbride, but wait until you taste the spaghetti, (right) Kim Stone serves the finished product.

M A Feliz Navidad Hl Santa Claus disguised as Chris Tables were covered with bright Christmas orna- ments (below) And delicious chocolate treats. And for entertainment . . . Santa Claus disguised as Chris Cucchiara came to our town 2 days early this year. There to greet him in Fitchburg High's festive cafeteria were several Special Education students who received Christmas cards from Santa and his elves, Amy Alitalo and Sue LaPointe. Santa's helpers posed for the cameras and spread a contagious light spirit throughout the crowd. In addition to Santa's crew, many members of the Student Council planned activities such as craft and pastry booths and coin games. But, the highlight of the fair was the pie eating contest. Definate excitement! Eager students gathered at the tables each with a master plan to devour their pie. Within seconds, Brian Donelan had flipped his apple pie over and plopped it out of tin onto the table. Several followed suit, and unfortunately Brian and his partner Michele L'Abbe didn't taste the sweet pleasure of victory. Another popular spot was the ice cream sundae stand. Students and teachers alike quickly glued themselves in line waiting for a smooth, cold treat. Most would agree, however, that Doc received the best treat of all when he won the handmade gingerbread house that everyone was admiring. Once again F.H.S. created a holiday spirit at the Christmas Fair. The anticipation for Christmas intensified from that day on-for the many who attended went home with an extra boost of enthusiasm. Thanks Student Council! Brian Donelan displays how he eats!!! 27

pancakes like no other mortals ever saw. Just don't ask them to clean pans. A morning worth of baked sausage grease could daunt even an industrial strength S.O.S. pad. The band parents offered their expertise in the kitchen to create a breakfast that won't soon be forgotten by anyone. Finally, after all the chaos is over, the band heads wearily homeward, thankful that their culinary duties are over for yet another year.
