The Illiterate Magazine PRU, Philosophies 'R Us, was a group of students who published a literary magazine this year. It was an outside activity and Madison did not sponsor it. The Illiterate included editorials, book reviews, college reviews, carica- tures, and interesting articles that made it difficult to put down. The first of the magazines were published in Octo- ber and distributed free on campus. The members of PRU supported the magazine financially with donations, carwashes and advertisements in newspa- pers. PRU advertised such places as Godfather's Pizza, AM PM and My Yogurt Place. PRU members met an average of two times a month to keep things up to date. The club was independent, and members did all the work by themselves. They drew all the pictures, wrote all the articles and did other things to make their magazine business exciting. The purpose of publishing The Illiterate was to make people think, and to motivate them to read. PRU thought it was a good idea to add a new publication to touch up the school spirit. Aaron Lee Bo-Yuan Lee As PRU was new, the club had hopes of keeping the publication going. They were willing to contribute the effort needed to maintain its stability. MomWLa?) X £rV 12- ALL?

Many of us had become accustomed to seeing Robert McLaren hurry by in his battery powered wheelchair as he changed classes. Rob passed away over the summer after a long fight with Muscular Dystrophy. Rob's parents, Bruce and Diane McLaren, told of Rob's happiness. He was an independent, confident guy whose favorite classes were Biology and Art. During his free time Rob enjoyed using his computer and going for walks , as he called it, when he went for a stroll using his wheelchair as many would use their legs. His appearence of self-confidence as he went down his street brought others with physical handi- caps out of their homes. In addition to his cheerful dispo- sition, he often counseled his friends who were also af- flicted by M.D. The Mainstreaming program in the San Diego City School system made it possible for Rob McLaren to go to Hale Junior High, and then to Madison. When it was suggested for him to go to Clairemont and attend a special program solely for handicapped students, he protested because all his friends attended Madison. Religion played a significant role in Rob's life and was a major factor for his positive attitude toward his physical condition. Rob's greatest happiness was being with peo- ple, and that knowledge brings happiness to many that knew him. Hyundai and Acura Seniors 211
