Heather Greene and Mrs. Donna O ' Connor Valerie Jacobs and Dr. Brown Richard Outstanding Performance Recognized The Awards Committee, com- prised of Miss Helen Walinski, Mrs. Susan Kline, Mrs. Mari- lyn Ats, Ms. Mary Lou Brewer, Miss Margaret Fey, and Mr. George Proulx, made several changes in the presentation of Academic Awards. Essentially, the beginning of the 1987-1988 school year began on a note of academic recognition be- cause one of the changes in giving department awards was to hold an all school assembly after the graduation of the Class of 1987. It was felt that an all school assembly would both pro- vide recognition for those students whose hard work had culminated in outstanding achievement while at the same time serve as a model for hard working underclassmen. The changes involved the seating of all award recipients on the stage and a consolidation in the delivery of awards so that those students who received more than one award would be called only once. Awards were presented by department chairmen or Mr. Badger. The event was emceed by Miss Brewer and Mr. Proulx. Reactions to the ceremony were very positive. For many students the awards represented the culmination of one, two, or three years of hard work and academic success. Molly Rihm recognized this stating, ev- eryone who viewed this left the auditorium with a sense of accom- plishment and pride for those who had accomplished. Kevin Dahm was the student who received more awards than any other student. Anju Reejhsinghani and Dr. Brown STUDENT LIFE

jock? Sure, looking at this guy you automatically think jock, or most likely, dumb jock. At any other school, you ' d be right nine times out of ten. But this isn ' t any other school. Granted, Bryce Whit- ing, although only a sophomore, has been a key member of the basketball team as well as the varsity football and lacrosse teams. These credits more than qualify Bryce as a dumb jock. Fortunately, this is Minne- chaug, where a typical jock isn ' t al- ways so typical. Bryce is the presi- dent of the Class of ' 90, a member of the National Honor Society, a mem- ber of the School Improvement Council, and a school tutor for alge- bra. Pretty impressive (for a jock)! If that isn ' t hard enough to believe, Bryce also plans to attend college — for reasons other than athletic. He has actual interest in the sciences. Although Bryce is a prime example of how unique Minnechaug is, we can ' t break tradition completely. Ru- mor has it that Bryce is a big heavy metal fan. To quote the words of a true jock, The Aerosmith concert was awesome. STUDENT LIFE
