ART CLUB Front Row (L to R) S Amirault, C. Singleton, J. Young, L. Swallow, L. Schmidt. Second Row S. Kirby, G. Trifaro, P. Witkowski, E. Leonard, D Navarro, L. Marshall, S. Sophia, L. Paterson, Ms. Puntoni. The Art Club was established as a portfolio workshop for those students who want to pursue an art career as well as those interested in art as a hobby. Members participated in art school seminars, where portfolio presentations were made by people currently in art school. Colleen Singleton and Jennifer Young were the most active members in after school work sessions. The most memorable events were: the two caravans to the Globe Scholastic Art Awards Exhibit to see the work of two members, Lisa Schmidt and Tom Sheehan, who won gold keys in the show. Members who were not present at the time that the picture was taken are Ann DiGiovanni, Marybeth Egan, Tom Sheehan, Scott Goodwin, Lisa Solano, Monica Butt and Ellen Stanton. “We’ve got spirit, and we’ve got pride ...” In early September, the Pep Club began to arouse school spirit, making bright, original decorations for the first pep rally and livening up the bleak cafeteria walls with oversized football players, field-hockey players, cheer- leaders, and a coach. With the help of Ms. O ' Brien, the club kept busy with the annual candy sale, the pep rallies, the Halloween Party, the first annual Spirit Day, Christ- mas party, and the Senior Athletic Banquet. Infusing their own enthu- siasm into their efforts, the Pep Club succeeded in bringing more spirit to Melrose High activities. Never forget!

SKI CLUB Members of the Melrose High School Ski Club, along with most of the skiers in the northeast, were plagued during the winter of 1979-1980, by a frustrating lack of snow. Club members with their advisor Mr. Haley, planned optimisitically all fall for trips to Jay’s Peak and other New England areas. The departure dates for these trips arrived as scheduled, but, alas, the snow didn’t, and many of the trips were cancelled. The group lost none of its enthusiasm though, and the eventual invasion of Jay’s Peak by the Melrose students was a great success. Row 1 (L to R) S. Delgenio, G. Packard, J. Mallon, S. Buchert.
