Summer Adventures ‘‘My summer! was like a three month weekend.” — John Grayl tudents discover new ways ummer: a wonderful two Imonth period of relax- lation and rest before the hectic school year resumes once again. Summer vacation means a time to travel to faraway and exotic places, or just hang around Winchester working. Suzanna Pavelle had a terrif¬ ic summer. She was able to travel to Israel with forty teen¬ agers for six weeks with North Eastern Federation For Temple Youth (NEFTY). This group traveled through ancient Israeli towns such as Acco, Tel Aviv, and Jerusalem. They swam in the Dead Sea, the Red Sea, and the Mediterrianean Sea. Su¬ zanna especially enjoyed hiking near the Jordan River. She was able to hike Mt. Heron the tall¬ est mountain in Israel. Suzanna also experienced a wide range of living conditions such as camping out under the stars next to the Dead Sea, and stay¬ ing in luxury hotels. Elizabeth Dahm spent a month in West Germany. She went with the American Associ¬ ation of Teachers of German, and spent the month living with a host family that originally came from Iran. Her favorite cities in Germany were Munich and Saltzburg. While visiting Munich she had the oppertun- iuty of seeing the Glockenspiel, the famous German clock with wooden figurines that move, and the Frauenkirche, a very old church which features two towers. Faura Tozza was also one of the fortunate oversea travellers. Faura traveled to Italy with nine other classmates for ten days. While in Italy they visited Florence, Rome, Venice, and Milan. Faura enjoyed all the exciting places that they visited. A few of the interesting places Faura enjoyed were the Vati¬ can, the Statue of David, the Spanish Steps “where everyone hangs out!”, the Catacombs, and the Fountian of Azziz. In Florence, Faura, and her friends went shopping in the open air market were they could buy almost anything. The Ital¬ ian discos provided an unusal contrast for the Americans. The discos played all American mu¬ sic, no Italian music. Faura was not sure if the Italians under¬ stood it, but they were having a great time. Although John Gray did not travel to an exotic country, he had a fabulous summer. When he was not working at the Gap in the Burlington Mall, he was either at the beach or hanging out with his friends. John de¬ scribed his summer “like a three month weekend!” -Jennifer Riccio Holding on for dear life, John Gray de- mostrates that summer adventures can happen close to home, as well as abroad.

On June 3rd 1988, the high school held a celebration of the arts with a festival concert and art show in the gym. The WHS chorus sang “The Aim Was Song”, the WHS Concert Band performed “Stars and Stripes Forever”, and the choruses, orchestras, and bands all harmonized to “America the Beautiful”. This was just the beginning ceremony of Winchester’s big bash. To signal the opening cere¬ monies, the Town Bell chimed 350 times. The weekend of September 24th and 25th was the big celebra¬ tion that everyone had been anx¬ iously waiting for. The activities started bright and early that Sat¬ urday morning at 9 a.m. when the first official event ,the Fun Run, started. During these two spectac¬ ular days there was something for everyone to do. On Sunday, the day ended with Winchester’s Grandest Ever Parade of Parades! More than thirty town groups were represented in the parade includ¬ ing Winchester’s High School Marching Band. Leading the fourth division were the four WHS Senior class officers. Not only groups from Winchester were fea¬ tured but also many out of town groups came to support the pa¬ rade. The Boston College Eagles Marching Band, the Allepo Tem¬ ple Shriners, and the U.S. Air Force Band of New England all showed up to add to our parade. Winchester selectman Judith Muggia commented enthusiasti¬ cally, “Winchester hasn’t seen a parade like this before.” Winches¬ ter cannot wait to celebrate its 351st. -Joanna Caros, Jennifer Riccio, and Tania Giambro Smiling Meg Ellis shows her spirit as she takes advantage of the celebration in pro¬ moting the school store’s cause to the com¬ munity.
