Cross country ski club formed liding through the snow- covered woods on skis where the only sound to be heard was that ofthe shush of new- fallen powder provided all of the incen- tive necessary to encourage the forma- tion of a new Cross Country Ski Club. The members began to organize their activities in early December to prepare for the season. They used practice skis with wheels mounted on them one day to practice down the long corridors of the school during their club meeting. These skis are similar to those used by ahtletes training for Olympic competi- tion. Mr. Sherman, the club's advisor, was quite happy with the turnout at the skiing events and he hopes that the club will continue to grow now that students find out about how much fun they have. The club is now made up of approximately 20-25 students. The club skied in local areas includ- ing Selkirk Shores and the trails be- hind the Middle School. The trip to Selkirk took place on a Saturday in January as the group stayed active during the week by skiing on Thurs- days at the Middle School. In addition to the leadership provided by Mr. Sher- man, the efforts of the student officers X Dwayne Narayan looks back on his progress. kept the group on its two collective feet.

Aboard this fleet are the sailors of the OHS Sail- ing Club. Dominating the year's events was expansion. with the acquisition of two new Flying Scotts. The Sailing Club was able to diversify into different areas. Although leisurely sail- ing and teaching members how to sail properly is the cornerstone of the Sailing Club, racing has become of interest. Using the Oswego Maritime Foundation's fac- ilities, racing has become a feasible concept. Racing will allow Sailing Club members, to challenge themselves as they use their athletic skill combined with sea faring knowledge.

Thespian Steve Rockhill, who played the lead role of Charlie, said, Just fin- ishing the show in the limited time that we had was a reward in itself. The Drama Club also presented scenes from the Greek tradgedy Anti- gone in a competition at SUNY Os- wego.

The Everson museum and the Munson William Proc- tor Museum in Utica gave interested art students the chance to study the works of masters. In the fall, club members visited the Oswego Art Guild at Fort Ontario and landscape drawing proved to be fulfil- ling. The spring art show, a district- wide display of art, was set up by Art club members. For Easter members made baskets and tissue paper flowers to sell as a fundraiser. Ms. Gallagher, advisor, with members Michelle Boak, Becky Luber, Shelby Stepien, Danelle Downum, and Lisa Coon had fun all year long. Clay crafts and paints provided for individual projects that were out ofthe academic structure of the art program. Weekly open studios were held starting in March to develop students skills. With the Regents Action Plan dictat- ing a fine arts requirement for all Members of the Oswego High School Art Club students, the art club has benefited greatly. There was a lot of interest in participation due to self motivation but the Regents plan helped to add to the growth of the Art Club.Qby Tony Leotta St I tLf 435 CHM?
