Laurie Beaver plays the part of a stout lady at the Drama Club rehearsal. These three aspects of communication: creative writing, reading, and drama are accentuated to their fullest by clubs taking those very names. The creative writing club ( Sen eca Literary Society) meets in Mr. Steber's room after school to do what else, but write creatively — anything from poems to essays to stories. Some of the members even helped with some of the writing in this book. The Reading Club takes the next step, they read whatever has been written (not necessarily what creative writing wrote). This group is under the direction of Mrs. Kunzmann. The final group of the trio is the Drama Club. They take what has been written and interpret it. After many long weeks of vigorous practice, under the direction of Mrs. Filippetti, they presented A Lost and Found Christmas . The group also sponsored the annual talent show, which is always a big hit. Reading, Writing, and Acting? Student Life 13

Many people wonder what the Library Council and the A.V. Club really do. To begin with, in the fall they held library orientation sessions for the Freshman. In October the Library Council sponsored its annual tea for the high school faculty. The Library Council also sponsored the annual Christmas door decorating contest. (Which was canceled this year, due to lack of participation by the student body.) The newest feature of the Library are the Microfiche readers. The Library is also in- volved with a networking project with BOCES. This will allow our Library to communicate with other schools in the area of magazines and newspapers. The A.V. Club is involved with video project exercises for the State competition in the spring. For the past two years they have had seven entries in the video competition, all of which were winners. Three of the members attended a six-week workshop at the University of Buffalo for which only 75 students in New York State were chosen. A.V. Club Fronl: Lynn Force. Marilyn Snyder, Tina McLean.
