Sophomores that 200 other people don’t get the same idea! There are some points to remember. While walking down the hall, be con- stantly aware that the person in front of you may encounter a friend and come to a sudden halt, causing you to plow into both of them. Be careful not to charge too energetically through a passing door. You may be slapped in the face as it hits a stopper and ricochets back. Or, worse yet, you may storm into Mr. LaRosa on the other side. Please, keep your cool. These five minute onsloughts can be survived. Don your shoulder pads and charge in with confidence. We know you can do it! Wishing you luck, The Class of 1978 to push, plow, and perambulate. Hey, future Soph, have we got news for you!

Dear Future Split level confusion As you push, plow, and perambulate through the halls of the Junior High, remember: This is not the end! You must perfect these manuevering tech- niques to survive the “between period rush at the high school. Do not despair- keep a stiff upper lip! By the time you graduate you will be able to endure any traffic jam! First, note these “trouble spots!” Avoid them at all costs! There’s the corner of Broadway and Pi Alley, where 4-way traffic funnels slowly through a single door. Should you get caught here scream, “Open the other door!” Another critical area is the second floor lobby during lunch. If you get stuck here,... well, uh...try shouting, “Fire?” Some mob scenes can be avoided by cutting through a classroom and darting through the open spaces. Always hope Sophomores discover what it ' s like Donald Mack Katherine Marsh Mathematics Art Theodore Leutz Marion Macione Music Occupational Kd.

They Banded Together Two years of fund-raising by the Melrose High School Band. Band Front, and Bandaiders culminated in April 1978. when some 120 students and parents boarded a chartered plane headed for Munich. Germany. Their destination: an International Music Festival in Seefeld. Austria. The staggering total of $50,000, or $500 per student, was the Band’s goal. With an unbeatable enthusiasm, they sponsored constant fund-raising events. The tempting fudge sales were popular throughout the city. Bake sales, yard sales, and car washes were fun for all involved. The selling of Herald Ameri- can subscriptions, buttons, “Europe 78“ bumper stickers, and the delivery of the Melrose Shoppers ' News, kept energetic Band members running around busily. Tag Days at football games always drew- the support of the spectators who enjoyed the Band’s pre-game and halftime shows. A major effort was the Play-A-Thon, held during the Winter of 1978. A core of tireless musicians showed their dedi- cation through 25 straight hours of quality performing. The March-A-Thon was another challenging and impressive event, offering a chance to get some exercise and raise some money. In the fall of 1977, the Band sponsored an Octoberfestival on the knoll. Though days of steady rain dampened the grounds, they did not dampen the spirits of Band members. Between showers sufficient crowds appeared to keep the Band climbing steaily toward their goal. ■James Morse Geraldine Moulaison Language Arts Occupational Ed. Mr. D ' s “rag time band! After all these efforts students and parents certainly earned their eight-day vacation. Bands, choruses and jazz ensembles from Europe and the United States participated in the Music Festi- val, which included combined concerts, parades and clinics with internationally known musicians. Sightseeing trips to Innsbruck and Salzburg rounded out a truly enjoyable experience. Ruth Mucica Robert Mullarky Occupational Ed. Guidan ce Jim Capone anticipates Austria.
