Being a class moderator gives me the chance to get to know students on an- other level and it also lets them get to know me in a different way too. As Junior Class moderator, Mrs. Diane John- son has to keep a group of enthusiastic individuals together. Mrs. Johnson first became junior moderator last year. I was asked by the administration to take the job because they wanted someone who participated in activities, and they asked me. Since then, she has helped her class to set up Ring Day Mass, participate in Homecom- ing activities and raise money for their ultimate project. Prom. One of the class ' s first fundraisers, which Mrs. Johnson was very pleased with was their Punk Dance. It was great because the kids worked so hard to make it successful. Also it was good because people who used to not work on things did. Though she is the moderator, Mrs. Johnson tries to downplay her role. I don ' t want to be the dominant figure. The officers should take the leadership roles and I am their advisor, most of the time. I am a resource person. Despite the fact that Mrs. Johnson tries not to mention it, she does feel that the best thing she has taken part in was help- ing last years ' juniors with Homecoming. It was incredible because the whole class worked so hard to win. Everything they won they deserved completely. When asked what she feels she has gained from being Junior Class modera- tor, Mrs. Johnson stated, I learned things from the students. There is also the satisfaction of doing a good job. Also the students enthusiasm is good for the teach- ers because it keeps us enthusiastic! The Lady With Class TOP: Junior Class moderator, Mrs. Johnson.

I Love The Feeling Definitely not a new face to Newman was junior Mike Turdo. Being the number one runner on the cross country team was great for Mike. I love the feeling; it ' s a real accomplishment for me. He en- joyed being in shape and advised new runners to do a lot of stretching before you run. Mike would like to break four minutes in the mile in track and also go to the Olympics. He hopes to receive a scholarship to college for his running. Newman ' s number two man in cross country, junior Kevin Mullen, loved to train. I like the feeling of working to- wards my goal and practice helps me do that. Although he had been running for six years, he had only been serious about running for three years. At first I started cross country for the exercise, but then 1 got serious about it. Kevin was the first one on the team who had ever run a marathon. In 1980 Kevin ran 26 miles in the Orange Bowl Marathon and claimed it was 50% mental and 50% hard work. With great runners such as those two, it was no wonder that Newman had an excellent cross country team. As Mike and Kevin continued to excel in the sport, the other members always looked up to them. aiuk L i. Above: Cross country ' s number one runner. Junior Mike Turdo and number two runner.
