for the first time a freshmen affair On November 22 the freshman class, for the first time ever, sponsored the annual arts and crafts fair. Led by chairpeople Marianne Murphy and Buddy Bower, the class of 1990 added to their list of firsts. For example, they rented out one hundred and fifteen tables, the largest amount rented to date. Many students, parents and teachers helped set up on the day of the fair. The event itself ran from ten o ' clock in the morning to four in the afternoon. According to advisor John Schlegal, it was busy from the time the doors opened until they closed. We made over two thousand dollars. The real key, though, was the participation of close to one hundred kids in the freshman class. The artisans that rented the tables displayed goods of wooden objects to clocks and jewelry. Because of the variety, many people were able to get their holiday shopping done. Another attribute which pleased those who attended the fair was the play area for children. It was established so that parents would be able to shop enjoyably while their kids were able to talk or play freely in the area. All in all, the crafts fair was a place that bursted with excitement. Nedlam spent a good part of the day roaming around, making friends, joking with children and just showing his school spirit. Workers enthusiastically sold refreshments— hoping, no doubt, that they would energize the shoppers to buy more—and plenty of great door prizes were given away. Since the first fair in 1982, each has been a success thereafter. This fair was no different. student life 17
