Mrs. Leciejewski had to take a leave of absence to have a baby. National Honor Society member Mike Haas cuts a piece of cake for principal Lou Chulick. Mr. Chulick won the cake in the NHS cake and record raffle. Had he not won the cake, he could have won a record al- bum, since he had two names in the hat and both got pulled out. The NHS also sold homemade choco- late Shamrocks for a quarter. The Society used the money they earn to buy a cake for new inductees and for gold tassels on graduation caps. Two-year member Dennis Loushin said It ' s hard work but the induction parties are worth it. — J.2. National Honor Society Choir 143

sing away CHOIR 26 members sing four concerts Enrollment was down in this year ' s choir but the spirits were twice as high. When Mrs. Kathy Leciejewski announced that she was having a baby and there would be no show choir, many members dropped the course. Ann Rieger said, 1 did not think that it would be fair to Mrs. Leciejewski to drop out because of the discontinuation of show choir. I think she is a terrific lady, therefore I stuck with it. The choir performed their annual Christmas concert in early December un- der the direction of Mrs. Leciejewski. Study hall today! Choir class was converted to a study hall for a few days until they got a substitute teacher for the pregnant Mrs. Leciejewski. Songs performed included Christs Child, Emanuel, the traditional Halleuja Cho- rus and Robert Skrbis ' s solo, Jingle Bell Rock. Other concerts included the PTA Luncheon early in the year and the Annu- al Euclid Square Mall concert. After Mrs. Leciejewski left the school to members experienced the entrance of their third teacher of the year, Mr. Ste- ven Glosser. He is so much different than any of the other choir teachers we have had before, personality wise, but Mrs. Leciejewski and himself both teach class the same way. Their choice of songs The Choir ' s cheese sale raised over $300 for the Music Department. have her baby, Mrs. Slate substituted for about two weeks. This was the time that interest and enthusiasm ran out. We had study halls every day, plus we got off on the wrong foot with the teacher, com- mented Doug Hershman. in mid-March the worn-out choir is similar, along with the choreography idea. With all the changes going on in the choir department, they were more caught in the shift than waiting for this year. L.S. 142 Choir

A Little Bit Smaller SKI CLUB Lack in size didn ' t stifle fun Same old story. Yet another club drops in membership. But this does not mean a drop in fun and good times. The Sl i Club showed this perfectly. With only six club members signing up for Ski Club, some wondered if it would be worth it all to have a ski club at all. The members will tell you it definitely was worth it. 1 loved it. We had so many good times, even if it was just a few of us said Heather Shaw. Inflation, of course, brought prices up from last year. Cost for the skier with equipment for lift tickets was $36.95, up two dollars from last year. For ski rental and lift tickets, it was $61.95, up almost twelve dollars. The early melt of this year ' s snow in February limited the number of trips to Boston Mills to five. The members would leave school at 3:30 on Mondays for the 45 minute trip. They usually skied for over 3 hours, leaving Boston Mills by 8:15 to get back to the school by 9:00. Sharon Yeager was elected President of the club, and had the duty of calling the skiers to tell them if they were going ski- ing or not on Monday. Chris Courtney, the Vice President of the Club, was very SLALOM. The slalom course was rough this year. This was not a hill for the squeemish. Think Big. Ski Club members smile for team pic- tures. A small-angle lens was used. Happy Heather Shaw and Sharon Yeager flash their teeth. Sharon and Heather are two-year members. Y 1 1 disappointed to find out that his bad an- kle would keep him off the slopes the whole season. It was a big let down. I was really looking forward to skiing this winter, said Chris. Boston Mills has beginner, intermediate and expert hills to suit all types of skiers. ski season. The highlight of the year was on Martin Luther King Day. They went to the slopes for a double session from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm. After the last session of the year, they had a pizza party at Boston Mills. Peter ' s Pride and Buttermilk Hills were skied most often. Peter ' s Pride and Buttermilk, beginner and intermediate hills, were the most popular. Donny Ward was the only one to ski Tiger regularly, the expert hill. Donny wants to be a ski instructor. He is think- ing about taking the instructor test this summer so he can be one the following The advisers were once again Miss Boellner and Miss Scheiner. They went and skied along with Donny, Heather, Sharon, Lori Malinas and Lisa Hufgard. Small numbers does not mean a small amount of fun. Just a sk the Ski Club. M.H. 144 Ski Club
