1 an artful, crafty affair On Saturday, November 23, we held our annual Craft Fair which has been a tradition since 1982. This tradition was first started by the class of 1984, during their sophomore year. It has brought great success and profit to every class that has sponsored it. When Mr. Duffy was asked about the amount of money that the class of 1986 had made on this year ' s Craft Fair, he just smiled and said, We have accomplished all of our financial goals. A variety of crafts were offered at the fair, and most of them were handmade. The crafts were sold at tables which were rented for fifteen dollars each. The money that came in from the tables being rented went to the sponsoring class, while the money made at each table belonged to the individuals who sold the crafts. The Craft Fair was ' nt just an opportunity for the Senior class to make money but for the Freshman, Sophomore, and junior classes as well. If they wanted to, they could have rented a table and sold something to support their own class. The girls ' basketball team had a small section of their own; anyone who wanted their picture taken with Nedlam, our school mascot, could have it taken for one dollar. The Craft Fair was not just a fundraiser, but a place for people to enjoy themselves for the day. Everyone who attended appreciated the effort put forth by the participants. It gave students a chance to express their own creativity, and to enjoy the artistic works of others. Mr. Duffy holds the bucket filled with names of anxious people who are waiting to see who is going to win the raffle. Cheryl Cardarelli and Steven Kalman walk around the fair dressed as clowns livening the spirits and entertaining all who attended. 14 student life

The chorus put in many hours of hard work to perfect their portion of the Junior Varieties Show: Anchor ' s Away. preparing for Once again, after February vacation, announcements could be heard over the intercom concerning it. Music could be heard from Jenkins Auditorium, and talk about the show was on nearly eneryone ' s lips. Members of the junior class were busy putting together the annual junior Varieties show. As in previous shows, it took hours of planning and preparation to put it together. The first thing that had to be taken care of was the auditions. Many students from different grade levels nervously tried out for a spot in the show. The lucky and talented few that were picked then had to attend the weekly practices. Some were at practice every night, either plan ning how they could make their own act better or just watching the other acts. Once the acts were in order, the Script and Theme Committee set to work on a script that would be innovative, entertaining, and pertaining to the U.S.O. theme that had previously been settled on. The committee spent so varieties many hours after school trying to think of unique introductions that by the end of each afternoon they were fighting off insanity. After the script was written, there was a rush to get the announcers and chorus people familiar with the format of the show. They also had to learn their lines. All this in two weeks! Then there was the entire chorus to worry about. No matter what committee students worked on, they had to dedicate many hours of their time to help pull the show together. 16 student life
