Australian Diplomacy Expressed On UN a Following tradition, Neptune host- ed another foreign diplomat for its an- nual United Nations Day. Held on October 23, this annual event was sponsored by the NJROTC cadets, whose work and efforts do not go un- noticed bythe student body, and coor- dinated by Mr. Ed Moskal. During Ambassador Hogue's review of the troops, Angela Jones was presented with the Cadet of the Month Award for outstanding merit. Each year proves to be a learning experience for all, and this year was no different. The featured speaker, Ambassador Cavan Hogue, Deputy Permanent Representative to the Per- manent Mission of Australia, ad- dressed the group, discussing rela- tions between the United States and Australia as well as the pride that the United States and Australia have in their armed forces.

Thrills And Spills At Lake Placid On February 28th the Ski Club be- gan its annual ski trip, arriving at beautiful Lake Placid and the Holiday Inn after an eight hour bus trip. Be- fore they had even unpacked, most of the skiers put on bathing suits and headed for the pool and hot tubs. Oth- er enthusiasts suited up in sweats and worked out in the weight room. By midnight, all had been chased back into their rooms. At 6 o'clock the next morning the skiers were faced with two choices- not orange juice or grapefruit, but Big t M ,t Ns , N v . 'Q .

Right: A view from the lift of Whiteface Mountain, the Adirondack range fills the background. Whiteface or Little Whiteface. Both breathtaking mountains proved to be a challenge, and mishaps and spills were common. Colleen Coyne was a little late to react to the wild skier who plowed her right over, and Sue Parren and Katie Donahue broke their ski poles4on the chair lift! After six hours of fun-filled ski- ing, the group headed down to the town of Lake Placid where they saw the rinks and ski jump used in the 1980 Olympics. On Sunday, the skiing started early again, and several adventurous skiers headed for the top of Little Whiteface. Poor Amy Marsh took a few spills on her way down one of the expert hills, and Scott Atkins got hooked fliterallyj on both skiing and the chair lift, tear- ing his pants right in half. After another six hours of skiing, it was time to pack up for the long ride home. Sue Parren, Kathy Wasson and Elaine Wright relieved everyone's boredom on the bus ride by making up Ashley I-Iogan into the school's biggest punk rocker.
