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.
