La te start - strong finish The first Varsity Club meeting might not have been held until late in Plo- vember, but some mem- bers had been meeting everyday in the newly-orga- nized Varsity Club home- room. ln its first year, there were 16 members that joined the special home- room. Members of the club were asked to sign up to work on one of a wide range of com- mittees. One such commit- tee, the Salato, Commons Committee, was set up to devise a plan to bring the trophies from the West lob- by into the Salato Com- mons. We wanted every- one to see all the trophies, so we moved them to the most active area of the school, commented Julie O'l'leill, vice president. Another committee was the Rope Holding Commit- tee. Members attended ev- ery home basketball game: ropes were held during pre- game, half time, and post- game. During the Regional Basketball Tournament, not only did Varsity Club hold ropes, but it also spon- sored a concession stand to eam money. Club activities included a volleyball toumament, an Easter trip, and the annual picnic. When we asked the members what type of tour- nament that they wanted to have, they decided to play volleyball. We wanted to pick a sport in which both the guys and the girls could compete: by the number of people that participated in the toumament, we think that we found the right sport, stated Linda Ga- sperec, treasurer. As a result of its late start, the Varsity Club did not at- tend its annual Christmas trip to benefit underprivi- leged children. To allow time to set up plans for the trip, it waspostponed until Easter. A late start may have marked the beginning of club activities: however, a strong finish marked the ending of them.
