Much time was exerted by expanded curriculum committee members as they hashed out problems, cut all necessary red tape, and planned classes. Hours were spent thinking of interesting classes and obtaining teachers and guest speakers for them. It meant handing out surveys, talking with teachers about their avocations, asking if they would be willing to share them with students, and mak ing several phone calls. Additional time was spent finding materials and rooms necessary for each class. Expanded curriculum, ready for student sign up the Friday before Spring break and due to large absenteeism, was cancelled until the Monday after break. Sign up was then held in an orderly fashion during the students ' English classes. Inadequate numbers of signatures on the part of uninterested students during sign up, caused Expanded Curriculum to be canceled. Food-Fun Fair the annual PTA fund-raising project held around Halloween for many years, was rescheduled to January 21, due to conflicting school activities. Renovation forced the Fair, traditionally held in the basement, to be moved to the first floor and into the new wing of the building. These moves affected the placements of booths and the selling activities at the fair. The Student Council dance previously held in the old gym, was moved to the new gym, initiating a first and a new tradition. The dance featuring Urizon highlighted the evening activities. Handing out prizes for the basketball toss game booth, Marybeth Bereoles helps raise money for the Band. Committee members help interested absenteeisms sign up for classes.
