LORI—the Sports sec- tion is spectacular. DEBBIE-thanks for keeping the finances straight; when did you do all that terrific work? BETSY. GINA. DOLORES, ELISA-the Student Life section turned out just great! CHRIS PAQUETTE-I feel that I deserve credit for putting up with the people in my Academic section, especially myself! Most of all, thanks to SISTER JEANNE VIRGINIA for guiding this comedic bunch along the way. Were it not for the work of each and every one. the 1981 Compass would not be a reality.

Welcome An exciting development this year was the re-in- troduction of band and choral groups. They had been discontinued because of the six class sched- ule and cutbacks in funds, but Father Brelsford re- instated these classes because he felt that the per- forming arts are an important part of a well-rounded education. Band students worked toward the goal of becom- ing both a marching and a concert band, and learned to play effectively in an ensemble. Mr. Ed Archer, the band and choral instructor, commented on the band. They are not ready for competition or performance, but they improve every day. Choral classes introduced students to various forms of choral singing, from classical to pop. They participated in a choral workshop at Mount St. Mary s College, and they also performed for school masses, for the student body, and for open house. Their main goal was the entertaining spring con- cert. —Sandra Pigati— BEGINNING CHORUS: Mary Ann Bleier, Josefina Dela Cruz. Alice Dzidic, Dwana Farr, Ericka Fawl. Mia Floyd. Roisin Grayer.
