Buono Fortuno .. Good Luck! | Many people feel that you have to be Italian in order to be a member of the 4 Italian International Club, but this is not true. People of all nationalities have ij the priviledge of joining this active club at Pompano Beach High. | This year the Italian International Club got off to a great start. Under the | direction of Ms. Andria, and the leadership of Melinda Nosifora, Tiziana | Cerri, Donna Petritis, and Donna Russo, the club has made a lot of i|progress. During the first semester, they participated in a service project to help beautify the school’s campus. They also served | sandwiches to the teachers. } The club was originally named the Italian Club in 1981, but || because the Italian class was dropped in 1983,the members felt ijthat they should change the club’s name to Italian International. They felt that this would encourage students of all nationalities to join. | The club held its meetings on Tuesdays after school,and they participat- || ed in Homecoming Week. The theme of their float was,“‘Fashion at Pompano || Beach High.”’On this float, they demonstrated all of the different fashions worn || at Pompano Beach High.
