CONVERSATIONAL FRENCH CLUB The subversive singing of the Marseillaise opened the cIub's informal tete - ei - tetes. This greatly enhanced the al- ready continental atmosphere of room 104. While passing by the door, one could hear rau- cous laughter in response to the records, games, and bons mots of Monsieur Colaninno, the club sponsor. Officers were Mesdemoisel- les Marylin Arthur, President, Ronay Arlt, Vice-President, and Elizabeth Shera, Secre- tary-Treasurer. 70 o ' 'Lewes Left to Right: Judy Naill, Linda Terrana, Elizabeth Luckhurst, Marcia McReynolds, Nancy Brazer, Kenneth Arnott, Donald Lewis, Don Hayden, Eugene Lewis, Bob Bach, Heidi Ormsby.

LIBRARY CLUB Buried under an avalanche of 2,000 new books and a backlog of countless unpaid fines, Miss Lord was rescued by an efficient crew of student librarians. In addition to their regular duties at the circula- tion desk, they aided in pro- cessing and shelving the un- marked volumes. The students who crowded the library this year should appreciate its un- sung heroes. , . --f uw e. jvivf it ,mice gs

N ART SERVICE COMMITTEE Cut-outs of football players, Christmas spires, Hallowe'en spir- its, and outstretched suns ap- peared on the cafeteria wall as the school year passed from one season to another. Strange exhi- bits of flying fish and mobiles decorated the lounge. Through the year we saw the work of the Art Service Committee all around us. Working with cans of gold spray, mammoth shears, and wide expanses of colored paper, the members organized displays and made posters for countless school functions. Mr. Fabry and Mrs. Hall sponsored the committee, while Liz Shera and Sharon Whit- ney were student officers. CERAMICS CLUB Pottery wasn't the only thing that these dexterous lads and losses made from clay. They used their imagination to create forms ranging from statues to iewelry. When their works were displayed, they stimu- lated much interest, even if their symbolism was not always apparent. Guided by Mr. Jacobson, the group enioyed crossing into a new world, that of abstract art, where one's creative sense is one's guide. 7 J J ' ' 1 fn. rw dm' f,N5ffF Left to Right: Pete Dixon, Mr. Fabry, Raquel Garcia, .lo Carol Riggio, Ted Thomp son, Beverly Byrne, Elizabeth Shera, Kaspar Leipins, Dempster Leech, Sharon Whitney, Brooke Maddux, Kathy O'ConnelI. fue' mai I Left to Right: Barbara Rollin, Cynthia Zimkus, Marion Kellam, Carla Jepsen, Ellen Shipman, Bonnie Ward, Elise Boger, Barbara Skinner, Gaye Arakelian, Nancy Blod, Ann Beckman, Peggy Fannon.

GREEK CLASS At the gray hour of 7:00 on Thursday mornings, a group of dedicated students met to study Greek under the direction of Mr. St. Clair. Tuesday night sessions were held at the houses of the various members, where the Greeks worked hard deciphering the squig- gles and curves that make up the Greek al- phabet. All Greek students began their study of the language with sentences from Greek phil- osophy. Thus translation was not merely a mechanical process, one was asked to react to such statements as, The soul is deathless, the first sentence learned. Over coffee cups and cookie crumbs, they not only studied but also looked forward to an occasional party when Mr. St. Clair might read favorite selections from Winnie the Pooh or Mary Poppins. Some looked even farther ahead to the annual picnic and mountain climb at Lime Rock, in June. .YJ Athenian wisdom, Spartan strength X 'S' ' L. ,Q
