Famil Ties ' behind the Seenes Gosh, they certainly appear to be average parents! To the everyday observer, average was exactly the image they wished to portray. But given a special cue, these parents emerged as the undefeatable par- ents' club members. Whatever the activ- ity, from the Father-Daughter Commu- nion Breakfast to the Card Party, they were present to add their loving touch Cand hard workj. The list of events, of course, was endless. But one of the big- gest sacrifices, it had to be agreed, was made unselfishly by the talliers of the Ten-Week Club tickets. Yes, the Fathers' Club, in all their generosity, set aside ten relaxing evenings of Monday Night Foot- ball to determine, besides weekly win- ners, which homeroom deserved a pizza party. lt was not difficult to recognize the dedication of the Mothers' and Fa- thers' Clubs, even though both groups of- ten disappeared from the scene after performing some special deed. For exam- ple, how often did we arrive at an event just as the Mothers' Club was completing its final preparations before its members became average mothers again? 4 Top right: Mothers' Club officers: Mrs. Coonan CCorres.

ex 'S P RE TI ove Who made the sudden mishaps of life a bit more bearable? Who put up with us when we were late, refused to clean our rooms or were down- right moody? The answer is our parents - the people we too often neglected to appreciate. Remember when you had to be at school by 7:00 a.m. to finish your comput- er program? What about the times you needed a ride home because you missed your bus or had a meeting? Who brought you that crucial research paper you left on the counter so you could hand it in on time? And who made all those trips to the store for school supplies, stocking-stuff- ers, or baking goods? So when you wanted so badly to tell your mom to stay out of your room and your dad that you were no longer his little girl, maybe a second thought was well worth your time. After all, our par- ents were so much more than just par- ents. 4 Top left: Andrea Gagne. Laura Carotenuto and their mothers enjoy lunch together.
