D U€LIM€ 79 continued Besides winning honors such as senior Jenny Eskew's second runner-up placing in the Maid of Marion contest, and Terri Cheslock's position as State Keywanette Coor- dinator, students found them- selves fighting building im- provement construction and snow. Fire walls were erected at hallway entrances as a mandatory state code for stu- dent safety, as another bad winter left areas of the coun- try shoveling snow. Students in Marion County enjoyed a nine-day break. In the county, the school levy was passed allowing a continuation of quality edu- cation, and the North Marion High School and the Third Street Bridge were being completed. In spring sports, John Paul Daristotle, and Ron Retton were named to the first All Big Ten Conference baseball team and Retton was named Most Valuable Player. Senior Bob Fortney and junior Phil Massinople traveled to Ger- many June 6 to represent the state in wrestling. As graduation time drew near, senior assembly dis- played talents and Senior Recognition Day honored outstanding Polar Bears. Mindy Sherbs was recognized as a National Merit Finalist and Renee Stern, a National Merit commended scholar. Combining school news with world news had a com- mon likeness-they both are history. And that's the way it was in 1979-Good Night. MEMBERS of the All State Band are senior Carol Wilson and sophomore Cathy Poshadel. BEFORE SHE LEAVES THE FRIENDLY CITY, Cuatemalian exchange student, Silvana Cosenza gets together with her many new friends. 26 News
