Members faithfully carry around their little plastic bags full of green and yellow and orange chocolate dots from class to class. All hour hur- ried, whispered sales are carried on and M 84 M's are passed to hungry hands. Next is the slow steady crunch of the people with the munchies. Afterwards the floors are speckled with the rain- bow-colored candy coating, mashed and melted chocolate brown spots, and empty, mangled boxes. It is late on a dark and snowy afternoon. The kind of day when it is best to sit at home, watch old cartoons, and sip hot chocolate. Still two dedicat- ed members must stay after school and clean up after the club's first party. The two patiently bend over to pick up crushed paper cups and wipe up 26 Organizations Design by Jett Radel little standing lakes of spilt coke. One shoves a broom before him, pushing dirt and cookie crumbs into a neat pile. The crepe paper decorations droop from exhaustion as they are ripped off the walls. Finally the lights are turned off and the tired clean-up committee trudges home. Dozens of students shove and push to get a good place and to stand by their friends. Dressed in their best clothes and wearing big, flashy smiles they line up in three rows for the yearbook picture. People who have never been to a meeting fight to be in the front row. The photographer must rear- range according to size. At last everyone screams cheese and are remembered in a picture. Natalie Rice !

Break by Debbie Morman While some students were soaking up the sun down south and abroad, others were racing for fallingl down the white slopes of Colorado over spring break vacation in March. A group of 10 seniors, six girls and four boys, left Saturday morning at 2 a.m. en route to the Rocky Mountains. The group, chaperoned by teacher Steve Davidson, drove to Colorado in a van and a truck and stayed in Vail, one of the largest ski resorts in Colora- do. They skied a few days at Vail and drove to Beaver Creek for a day on the slopes. On another continent, Ms. Nancy Martin, French and German teacher, chaperoned seven French students, six girls and one boy, in Europe. The group started on the tour, which was spon- sored by Culture Heritage in Pennsyl- vania, in Nice, Italy. They spent a few days in Italy then headed up and across to the Riviera and Paris, France, where they spent seven days. Mrs. Pam Buttler, Spanish teacher, flew to Mexico with four Spanish Club members and spent eight days travel- ling from Mexico City to Acapulco. The neatest thing about this trip, Buttler said, is that the kids are in a foreign language classroom of sorts for 24 hours a day. After a few days the students caught on to the language pretty well. ton the Colorado ski trip stayed in a condominium a mountain.
