Da marks thirty year of excellenc What began as an idea with the Parent Teacher Student Association soon became a grand plan of celebration and remembrance. Almost all of the student body became involved, especially the Student Council and music departments. Spearheaded by PTSA president Linda Kubena, the day of March 6 was set aside to celebrate thirty years of McCallum's history. Invitations were sent to all of the ex-teachers, ex-principals, and as many of the ex-students as could be located. The fanfare was underway. It was to be a day of getting together with old friends. Student Council members, under the leadership of Bill Kennedy, made a timeline representing presidents and leaders of all organizations. Kennedy was assisted by Diane Hellinger and other members of the Council. The end results were a collection of posters representing the years of leadership in such organizations as the band, orchestra, FHA, choir, Student Council, Spanish Club, and other clubs and organizations on campus. March 6 was set aside for the day of special activities. Rooms were set up to represent five-year spans of time. Alumni visited their respective rooms and yisited with old friends.
