The Armenian Club started off its second year with its five members: Gary Eynation, Da- vid Donabedian, Alan Dermar- deroshian, Tony Pahigian, Charles Vanesian and their ad- visor, Mr. Edward Sahagian. It offered an opportunity for so- cializing among Newton North students sharing a common Ar- menian heritage. They spon- sored a lecture on the history and politics of the Near East in order to share part of their Ar- menian culture with the entire student body. When enough students are interested in learning the Armenian Ian- guage, they hope to start a lan- guage class at N.N.H.S. The French Club met weekly during X-Blocks. This year's ad- visor was Mr. Carmine Tru- biano. Elise Supovitz and Lisa Gelin were the presidents. The positions of secretary and trea- surer were filled by Lisa Alberts and Jiff McGary. With the help of it's sixty members, the French Club had a fondue party, a' French lan- guage day, participated in the French play, took a trip to Paris during February vacation, and a trip to Quebec in April. lt's principal goal was to be- come more involved in French activities, and the club achieved this goal.

Open Campus The Open Campus program this year was more successful than ever, benefit- A 'f' ing a wide range of students with many and varied interests. One of the main ' ' 1 Q functions of Open Campus was to spread information to the student body . N ' 1' ' through various programs, and being an election year this was particularly impor- . A t tant. Candidates such as Drinan and Mason were heard, and the political scene , -X4 f' was highlighted by the appearance of Senator Kennedy. The referenda issues V .Q 5,65 x g , ' 13. -- -f 1' were informatively covered and debates on the E.R.A. and Public Power ensued. -- 1 .M There was also a two-week program on Defense and the Military Industrial Complexg a unit on ecology, and a discussion on consumer rights featuring one of Ralph Nader's henchmen. The movies ran the gamut from old Beatles flicks to ROMEO AND JULIET. During the unit on old age, Ruth Gor- don starred in her immortal film, HAR- OLD AND MADE. There were two other exceptionally well done units: the fam- ily, Marriage and Divorce, and the year ended with several live shows from the POCKET MIME THEATRE and the BOS- TON REPERTORY THEATRE. Open Campus put a lot of spice into school life this year, and Richard Scherr, the Open Campus Co-Ordina- tor deserves much credit. Through the various programs and special units, students were kept interested, in- formed, and occupied during their out- Of-CIEISS time.

The Committee is run solely by student members who plan and take all responsibility for their activities. The Rally Committee officers for 1976-77 were: President Holly Turin, Vice-President Sherry Rist, Secretary Pam Blue, and Treasurer Mary Nardone. Membership quickly grew to nearly sixty students. The committee met in the cafeteria during x-block every Tuesday to plan many activities including bake sales, a carwash, and a very successful garage sale which brought in one hundred and fifty dollars. Money from these activities was used to sponsor the Rally Committee's party at Post 440 in Nonantum and their annual Football and Soccer dinner. The Rally Committee's annual motorcade through Newton suc- cessfully started a spirited foot- ball season. During the Football season the committee gathered in mass for home and away games to support the cheer- leaders in cheering on the team. The Rally Committee was Newton North's Spirit of '76 !

The Deutscher Verein has ex- sisted as an active organization at NNHS for many years. Its purposes are to stimulate interest in German- ic culture and encourage a pleasant social atmosphere outside the class- room. Executive meetings are held bi-monthly and general meetings five or six times a year. There are two traditional func- tions of the Verein : a reception for foreign born students at NNHSg and a cheese fondue dinner. This year the officers, President Brenda Staley, Vice-Presidents Lynn Hartl and Steve Sepinuck, Secretary Liz Pfund, and Treasurer Scott Ma- comber, had a ski trip to New Hamp- shire, a windjammer cruise of Bos- ton Harbor, and a musical evening. Italian Club The Italian Club was one of the most active groups this year. Its pur- pose was to give Italian students an identifying organization, to en- hance culture through Italian festivi- ties and to stress the importance of the study of Italian at N.N.H.S. This year's club officers were President Donna Rondina, Vice- President Danny DiBona, Treasurer Diane Marine, Secretary Marie Ri- goli, and Social Chairman Elaine Di- Matteo. They arranged such suc- cessful programs as the Spaghetti Supper, a trip to Italy, and the Italian Club Banquet. The Italian Club mem- bers also generously donated trick or treat candy to a children's home.
