The Largest Ever The Middle Township High School Concert Choir, direct- ed by Mrs. Lauriello, is this year the largest it has ever been, with an enrollment of 113 students. In fact, at the beginning of the year there were not enough robes to go around! The Concert Choir, in addition to the annual Christmas and Spring Concerts, has also performed around the community during the Christmas season. The Advanced Choir, a 31-member ensemble of students who have been in choir at least one previous year, has given various additional concerts in the area. This smaller group demonstrated its vocal talents for such organizations as the Eastern Star and the Burdette Tomlin Memorial Hospital Ladies Auxiliary and provided music for the hospital's Christmas tree lighting. .ann ls l 1.

Exchange Students: Luigi Falorni, Peter Seehagen, David Barra- clough, Melissa Richardson, Lance Ludman, Dana Dramis. This year six Middle students and Mr. James Conlin left for England on October 13th. While overseas, the group toured such historical landmarks as Oxford, Plymouth, Blackport, Warwick Castle and Windsor Castle. Midway through the trip, the Americans made a three-day excursion to London. Here, they explored Big Ben, London Bridge, Trafalgar Square, and Bucking- ham Palace. The students also made many individual trips with their host families, some were even lucky enough to see Stonehenge. Rounding out the trip educa- tionally, the Americans spent several days at the Wing School with their British partners and also Visited near- by colleges. A reluctant group of seven boarded the plane home early in November, comforted only by the fact that they would see their twelve British friends in April. Six of these twelve stayed with their American counter- parts. Luigi Falorni, an exchange student from Florence, Italy, had a busy, yet very enjoyable, year here in the United States. A rowing championship winner, Luigi decreased his 3-hour daily training sessions to about 1 hour, and took time out to practice guitar. When asked what he likes most about America, the Italian promptly replied, I like everything. Peter Seehagen was an exchange student from Mal- moe, Sweden. While in America he enjoyed such sports as baseball, soccer, and hockey. His favorite television shows were Family Ties and MTV, but he admitted he missed Swedish television. Peter plans on attending college at Varnhans Skolan.
