Steering clear, making progress Committees direct their classes Serving the community and the stu- dents of Lincoln High was the main goal for the senior, junior, and sophomore steering committees. The senior class officers for 1982-83 were President Debra Fiala, Vice- President Jay Thornton, Secretary Becky Pankers, and Treasurer Barb Goodwin. “We’re not limiting ourselves just to a class gift,” commented Debra. Other activities that were sponsored by the committee included the senior awards convocation, the senior luncheon, and a special project which donated $70 to the Battered Shelter. Juniors produce The junior steering committee was responsible for the production of the junior-senior Prom. “It takes a lot of work to make everything run smoothly. I don’t think the students realize how much work is necessary to organize Prom,” said Jackie Jackson. Fund raising must be started early in the year in order to raise the $2000 necessary. This year’s chairpersons were Suzy Hergenrader, prom theme and decorations - chairperson; Julie Pelowski, band chairperson; Renee Smice, date and facilities chairper- son; Jenny Merkel, refreshments and 24—Steering Committees flowers chairperson; and Kim Hein, treasurer. According to sponsor Mary Beth Lehmanowsky, interest in the junior- senior Prom has remained relatively the same each year. Sophomores raise funds The sophomore steering committee spent the year raising money for 1984’s Prom formal. They sold candy and Christmas items to attempt to meet their goal of $500. Committee members participated in Honey Sunday as well as the Great American Smokeout. This year’s officers were Haley Smith, president; Blinda Buettner, vice-president; Kristi Malhoit, secre- tary; and Marie Willadsen, treasurer.

Mummers sociable, serve snacks Drama promotes acceptance I i One of the most popular clubs in school. Mummers (the drama group) once again had an interesting year. According to President David Duffy, this was due to the quality of the members. “The Mummers are great people. They’re just so diverse. Everybody is different,” he said. “They’re fun. They know how to work hard. Also, they’re very accepting.” David added, “They’re all very dramatic.” The membership of Mummers covered all three classes and the club often gave new students a chance to fit in. “One really great thing about Mummers this year is that I think the sophomores felt accepted right away,” David said. “They really felt like part of the club.” David was also pleased with the new style of leadership displayed by the club officers. One of the main goals this year was to loosen the club structure. “We wanted to get everyone in- volved,” he explained. “I always felt that in the past, the members just came to the meetings, sat there and Mummers, (First Row) Bill Stone, Erin Egan, Ruth Leinfellner, Martha Narveson, Denise Mjelde.

The officers made all of the decisions beforehand.” The matter of snacks was another vital aspect of the club. The serving of food items during the meetings was a basic part of the Mummers’ way of life, according to David. “We used to feed people snacks a lot last year,” he said. “We fed them a lot, but this year Mummers was in debt. The jewelry sale pulled us out, though. So, we’ll start feeding people at the meetings again.” David cited popcorn as the Mum- mers’ favorite food. “We buy popcorn in mass quan- tities every day after school and we enjoy popcorn a lot,” he said. “It’s the natural food of the Mummers. That’s the truth.” 26—Mummers
