MCKENDREE MODEL UNITED NATIONS Each year students from many schools in the area gather at McKendree College, Lebanon, to participate in a mock United Nations debate. Dupo is traditionally represented by a group of senior history students, although this year some juniors joined the delegation. The students this year represented the countries: Angola, Brazil, and Japan. Angola's delegates were Paul Brinkmann in the General Assembly, Ad Hoc and Political committees, and Sonia Olsson who was in Economic-Social, Social-Cultural, and Humanitarian. Japan's delegates were Michelle Ladyman, Tammy Kunkel, Brian Stewart, Cheryl Peters, and Carole Mudd. Brazil's delegates were Cindy Ladyman, Betty Stahlschmidt, Debbie Schaeffer, and Cindy King. They Heatedly argue world problems from the point-of-view of the countries they represent. The students return with a new and deeper understanding of the world's problems. Ms. Raker is the sponsor. 26

They held a bake sale, benefit film, and went Christmas caroling to raise money for Shriner's Children's Hospital. Several of the girls are beginning nurse's training in St. Louis this fall. 28
