The an- swer: Just about EVERYTHING! © North's architecture is one example of its uniqueness. In it's planning stages, North was designed to be stu- dent centered. That’s why there is so @ much space in the concourse and li- brary-advisement areas. A relaxed at- mosphere is created giving room for socializing.

It’s so modern and looks so much neater than other schools,’ said Brenda Fahrenkrog, Senior. That was it. North wasn't like other schools. Outside appearance, students and staff outlook, countless outlets for student interests all made North truly stand out in a crowd!

Couples are a frequent occurence at North. Lak- onne Cherry, Senior and Alumni Kevin Vaughn share a close moment. Life out in the crowd is the social aspect of McCluer North. Whether the people go to MacDonald's, White Cas- tle, parties, or Homecoming, they go to socialize, and be with their friends. They meet new people, try new things, and get involved in the current events. Life out in the crowd is the events at school and on weekends. The plays, concerts, sports games, banquets, holi- days and club meetings are all a part of life out in the crowd. Socializing is a big part of MN and it is also an impor- tant part. Student Life Dvision 9 °o Work and hay alll the summer For Beth Little a junior, summer meant staying out late and being able to sleep late in the morning. Kim Young said one reason she liked sum- mer better than winter was because, “'I don't have any responsibilities and most of all, there's no homework! Many students were glum in mid- July knowing that the start of school was just around the corner. But not Miss Dombrink and 18 other MN students who spent three weeks in Germany. Lynn Weaver said, “it was great. We were interviewed by a German news- paper. The pubs were terrific and we 12 Summer got to meet alot of interesting people.” Unfortunately all good things have to come to an end and the summer of ‘80 was no exception. Summer was here and gone in such a short time. Before we knew it the dreaded registration packets were in the mail. And then ... August 28: Gulp! First day of school! The bell rings and as one walked down the hall, The murmer of students discussing their summer vaca- tion could be heard. Students knew with the help of mother nature, summer would return in ‘81. Cindy Haefner receives a warm farewell from friends Chris Herrera, Rochelle Rasnic, and Diane Christe. It’s closing time and Jayla Fett sweeps the floor before going home from Long John Silvers. Even though school was out for summer, the MN Pom Pon squad still practiced for the coming year. Aqua Jet Waterside employed many MN stu- dents this summer including Janet Otten and Les- ley Hiccock who often took a nice, cool, and refreshing break. Original fashions Cheeno pants. Oxford shirts. Shet- land sweaters. Plaid skirts. Topsider shoes. All of these articles were part of the classic preppy look which dominat- ed this year’s fashions, as one could see while patiently waiting at a bus stop or while congregating in the concourse. What made the preppy look so pop- ular? MN junior, Laura Koetting, mem- ber of SAKS fashion board, said, ‘The preppy look is a unique style from the past and it’s comfortable.” Although the preppy fashion was popular, some MN students found the traditional, casual, athletic look fashion- able also. Nike tennis shoes, jeans, MN sports jackets, Adidas t-shirts and MN hats all fell into this category. ‘My fa- vorite outfit, said Brian Butts, ‘is a Miz- zou shirt and a pair of jeans.” Although Gloria Vanderbuilt, Calvin Klein and Izod La Coste are not stu- dents at MN, it seemed as if they were, for these logos were plastered all over students’ clothing, from the back jeans pocket to a corner on the shirts. Why did students prefer the design- er fashions? “I want to be part of the crowd, and I also feel they're better quality than regular label brands,” said MN junior, Richard Wishon. Certain students chose to express their fashion individuality by not con- forming to the obvious styles. These students were the so called “freaks,” who chose jeans, denim jackets, freak boots and often cowboy hats as a part of their wardrobe. Jeff Gonzales said, “I like jeans because they don't show dirt as easily and they are more comfort- able than dress clothes.” From button-down shirts to Puma t- shirts, to Sassoon jeans to freak boots, the fashion trend at MN was set by the students deciding to be themselves. Styles this year gave each person the chance to be creative with their ward- robe and the opportunity to “stand out in a crowd” by expressing their own fashion individuality. 14 Fashion T-shirts with logos, as shown here by junior Jim Cheney, were popular among MN students.

Marelesines te Homecoming he 1980 Homecoming weekend meant different things to those who were involved. For alumni who attended, Homecoming brought them back to friends and their memories of North. For Seniors, it pos- sibly could have brought both good and bad feelings of their last year of high school. But for those who were involved, the weekend of October 25 was fun and exciting. Friday evening set the weekend off with a big bang and a big show. With the largest crowd ever in attendance, the Review was a show full of spirited and crazy (but very good) acts per- formed by MN students. The end of the show didn't mark the end of the even- ing for everyone, though. Until late hours of the night, groups set up in different locations to work on floats and cars for the Saturday morning parade. The parade began at 9:00 a.m. as floats started down Waterford Drive. Judged by Mayor Taylor of Berkley, Mayor Grimm of Ferguson, State Re- presentative Carl Muckler, and Floris- sant Jr. High Principal Mr. Heger, the Pom-Pon Corps won first place, fol- lowed by the floats made by Interact and the Varsity Cheerleaders. In the car division, first place went to the Col- or Guard. The Sophmore Cheer- leaders and the Volleyball Team won second and third. The Homecoming Maids made up the rest of the parade, seated atop 14 shining Corvettes, pro- vided by the Mississippi Valley Cor- vette Club.

Homecoming 19 The Big Finale _ ... ‘The 1980 Homecoming Queen of McCluer North is...” Well not just yet. After the game, the mad rush began to pick up bouteniers and corsages before flower shops closed. Only when this was done were there a few short hours of relaxation before your date showed up at the door. Then of course there was the feel- ing of trying to escape flash-happy par- ents and peering younger family mem- bers. Finally the dance was here and ev- eryone was ready for an enjoyable evening of dancing, food, and fun. Set to the theme of “Sailing Under the Stars’’ with music from the Younger Brothers, the dance got underway. 9:00 rolled around and the Court was es- corted in. This was the big moment — the time when Miss Diane Smith, Homecoming Queen of 1979, would pass on her crown to the new queen. ‘And the 1980 Homecoming Queen is Miss Julie Baatz, escorted by Mr. Jeff Hutsler.”’ Now that the surprise was over the rest of the night was devoted to having a good rowdy time. But the dance soon began to come to a close as couples dispersed to their various destinations. The exciting but tiring weekend slowly but surely came to an end. After hours of non-stop activity, MN students could settle in for a good night's sleep. The weekend was over but it was one to be long-remembered in the hearts of the Stars.

Entertainment afro This year McCluer North had it’s 5th annual Afro Ball. The Afro Ball is a custom that was brought to McCluer North from Kinloch after the merger of students in 1977. The dance was held February 7, 1981, from 7:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. There were three people on the court: Senior Camille Morris, Junior Sandra Boyd, and Sophomore Rhonda Redmon. Camille was crowned Afro Ball Queen. Ruth Tolson was the principal spon- sor of Afro Ball. She made all the ar- rangements necessary for the event. Entertainment was provided by a disc jockey until 11 p.m. There were thirty-three talented stu- dents who participated in the Afro Ball. Jerry Dyson from the group ‘‘Destiny”’ did a dance called ‘The Freestyle Po- plock”’. Jerry commented, ‘‘Pervis McAllister and Derrick Wright chose to do this dance because this represents the young generation’’. Paula Burns also participated in the Afro Ball. She did a jazz routine to a song called ‘‘Eb- ony Eyes”’. She said, ‘I chose this song because it told the story of a black girl in the ghetto. The song really was say- ing that a black girl can have devastat- ing beauty.” Sandra Boyd from the group Star Love Dancers commented on the rou- tine which she, Lorrane Cherry, war- een Cherry, and Arenthia Taylor per- formed. ‘‘We chose to do a ‘Freestyle Robot’ because it’s what we do best. Our dance reflected the back that blacks have always been a minority and that their entertainment and style is always different wherever you go.” Certainly the Afro Ball was a differ- ent, unique, stand-out event of North's 1981 social season. 22 Afro Ball M asic, Dance, and combine for “een wes Teachers also showed support for Afro-Ameri- can Heritage week, like Mary Morton and Mike Thacker who exchange a smile and share a laugh at the Ball.

Schulz and presented by over fifty tal- ented students. Chuck Larkin, super- vised by Larry Marsh, directed a six man combo that provided all the music from the original off-Broadway play. There were numerous other commit- tees such as Publicity, Make-Up, and Stage Crew. Mrs. Billie Teneau, the Drama Director, commented that all students were encouraged to try out. Surprisingly enough only two of the casted performers were Thespians. The other six performers were appearing on stage for their first time. From the beginning of the play there was a never ending supply of cartoon quips and the familiar antics of the Pea- nuts Gang. Mrs. Teneau tried to por- tray the characters as real people and draw away from the cartoon stereo- types. The continuing jokes and great per- formances by the actors and musicians 1 alike made the play the great success that it was. The best moment for the luckless Charlie Brown is when the cast sings “You're a Good Man Charlie Brown” for the opening number.

Best cameo appearance.’’ The Acade- my Awards, right? Well, it wasn't the Oscars , but on January 17 these honors were an- nounced and awarded to performers of MN's Winter One Acts. These plays were special to North for a number of reasons. Not only were one act per- formed only every other year, but un- like any other productions, they were selected, cast, and directed by stu- dents. They were also the only produc- tions for which awards were given. Three nights of three scenes were presented, and each night the best play was chosen by a panel of three faculty judges. “It was hard to pick a best play,’’ stated Mike Thacker, judge on January 15. ‘The plays were each so different — it was like picking between apples and oranges.” The three chosen plays were then reperformed on the fourth night, January 17, once again before three more judges. On that last night, after the third scene was performed, everyone ner- vously awaited the final decision — which play won? But before this was announced, hon- ors and first place awards were given to individual performers. Each night, be- sides being judged by three faculty members, the audience voted on best a + « I , Action at JUN! lead, supporting, and cameo roles.

F @eeee 8easns6 eas Winter One Acts 27 PERFORMANCES PRODUCE PERFECTION Laryngitis; pnuemonia; sore throats; colds; getting teachers to sign permis- sion slips to enable singers to go carol- ing with the Madrigals; absences by both students and directors; difficult music. All of these problems plagued the choirs at Christmas. However, they still brought the sounds of Christmas to MN students, faculty and many other people around the St. Louis area. The first event on the Choirs’ agenda for Christmas was the Christmas Con- cert. On Saturday, December 6, every choir member met in the gym for re- hearsal. Rehearsal consisted of going over the processional at least four times and going completely through the pro- gram. After the grueling run-thrus, some students stayed and decorated for the following day's concert. Sunday, December 7 came and the big event arrived. First, both Junior- Senior Madrigal and Sophomore Mad- rigal greeted the crowd in the con- course. After they were through, the choirs entered the gym and began with the traditional Candlelight Procession of Carols. The processional was fol- lowed by each choir singing their se- lections. The program ended with the Choirs singing ‘Silent Night’ with the audience joining in. Various places around the St. Louis area were sites for both the Jr.-Sr. Mad- rigal and the Sophomore Madrigal to carol at. They collected money as they caroled for the Christmas Caroling As- sociation. Another performance for the choirs was in North's library on December 18. This was the only day that the MN stu- dent body and faculty had the chance to hear the choirs sing. Joe Naumann said, “The Halleluja Chorus gives me a lump in my throat everytime I hear it.” During the evening on Christmas Eve and during the day on Christmas Day, radio station KCFM broadcast se- lect parts of the Christmas Concert. This brought the sounds of Christmas and McCluer North Choirs to the entire St. Louis Area. So, even though many things can hinder a choir’s progress, it can still wind up being a busy and standout choir! 28 Choirs At Christmas ee Mr. Richard Banks directs the Girls’ Choir they sing “Away in a Manger.” The finishing touch is added to the tree by Senior Chuck Larkin.

Choirs At Christmas 29 ¢ a - = 2 Freedom for 52 Americans January 20, 1981 was a day when MN students saw history made. At approxi- mately 11:30 a.m., St. Louis time, the 52 American hos- tages, held in Iran for 444 days, boarded their ‘‘free- dom flight’’ back to the United States. It was on November 4, 1979, that the American Embassy in Iran was taken over by the Iranian mili- tants. After much negotiating, and a failed rescue attempt -by the U.S. military, Algeria finally became the prime negotiators between the United States and Iran and accomplished an agree- ment and terms for the hos- tages’ release. After 444 long days, the American citizens were finally set free. The hostage ordeal in Iran proved to be a great disap- pointment and aggravation for many politicians and citi- zens alike. President Reagan later stated that if a situation like the embassy takeover oc- curs again, the U.S. will handle it with a much firmer approach, possibly military force. Regardless o their feel- ings about the takeover, al- most every American felt great joy at the hostages’ re- lease. At North, cheers 30 Miscellaneous could be heard throughout the halls during third hour, January 20, when Mr. Hampton proudly an- nounced that the American hostages had been freed. Many students wore yellow ribbons to school to show their happiness for the hos- tages. Sophomore, Sheila Busse said, “I wore my rib- bon especially for local hos- tage Rocky Sickmann.” Many other students and teachers came to school groggy on January 21 from staying up late to see the television coverage of their fellow-Americans boarding planes and buses on their way home after 444 long days of captivity. Other students at North felt that the hostage situa- tion was very over played by the media. Many felt the way Senior Vicki Barth did: ‘I think the Vietnam Vets went through much more than the hos- tages held in Iran, and they didn't get any of the recog- nition or great welcome that they deserved.” Despite all the bad feel- ings that were caused due to the hostage situation, most everyone felt the way Junior Lisa Holtsclaw did: “I just think that everybody is happy that the whole situa- tion is over and that the hos- tages are finally free.” A legend lives on Millions of people around the world paid tribute to John Lennon by observing 10 minutes of silence on De- cember 14, 1980. The silent vigil was spent mourning his death and try- ing to reason why he was killed. For others it was spent reminiscing over his lyrical music and the contri- butions he gave to the field of music. “The tribute of silence was the best thing they could have done,” said MN senior and loyal Lennon fan, John Francis. Francis was among thousands who Not strictlysocial .. attended the tribute at For- est Park on the Sunday after Lennon's death. The ten minute silence and Len- non’'s death will be remem- bered by millions. As one of the Beatles, John Lennon became fam- ous for his poetic and peaceful writing. The Bea- tles started a new era in mu- sic and served as a model for groups of today. All his life he had preached peace, and it was a great irony that on Monday December 8, he was assassinated in such a violent manner. Yet, his peaceful way of life lives on with such songs as “'Yester- day’’ and ‘All We Need Is Love.’’ Yoko Ono, Lennon's wife, also carried on his peaceful way as she ex- pressed no hatred for Mark Chappman, Lennon's mur- derer. North goes to France “Mercedes and Cham- paign!’’ These two words, along with gracious people, beautiful countryside, fan- tastic food, and “no drink- ing age” could describe this year's voyage to Paris France! Nine lucky students from McCluer and McCluer North left on a Boeing 747 from O'Hare Airport in Chicago on Feb- ruary | for the adventure of their lives. The agenda in- cluded 5 days in Paris as a tourist, and another 16 days in Compiegne, France, as an adopted French family member. 'My trip to France turned out even better than ] had ever imagined it could be,’ is how Gregg Lesely felt on February 22, the last day of the trip. Compiegne had close competition with Paris, but undoubtedly turned out to be just as great! In a matter of days everyone felt as if they had lived with their host families forever. The food, home, and surround- ings had just become a part of daily life, when the trip : | 4 . | came to a close. It was cer-_ | tainly a sad day, the 22nd of February, when the nine | students had to say good- | bye to their new-found fam- ilies and friends, but the left — with the consolation of a dream that one day they might return! talk desegregation 4 What happens when you. | mix 30 students from McCluer North with 30 stu-— dents from Soldan High | School to talk about deseg-— regation?

The idea was | that since North had been desegregated for five years ; and had a Student Relations Committee, they could pos- sibly help and share their experiences with Soldan who was just going through the process that North had_ gone through. : As the two schools assem- bled, Soldan took one. side of the room and North the other. However, the ice was | soon broken and_ small group discussions began. | Surprisingly, the groups | were very open and truth- ful! Senior Joe Mullins com- mented, ‘We got to know how the city schools feel -about the county schools and the county in general. We began to learn what conditions actually existed, and we talked about main problems that influence ten- sion in both schools.” As everyone began boarding buses at day's end there was a feeling of ac- complishment. After all, when 60 high school stu- dents (black and white) got together to discuss a touchy subject openly and ended up leaving with good feel- ings, that was an accom- _ plishment! Summer leadership camp for students Indianapolis, Omaha, Kansas City, St. Louis, beach hikes, canoe trips, trips to nowhere, ropes courses, 6:30 A.M. rude awakenings, jogging, square dancing, working on a farm with migrant workers, sleeping on the ‘beach, climbing sand dunes that seemed to go straight up, all of these ac- ‘tivities describe the National ‘Leadership Conference ‘that three junior students there at North had the op- ‘portunity to attend. _ The Conference was held ‘at Camp Miniwanca in morthern Michigan for two ‘weeks and was sponsored ‘by the Danforth Founda- |tion. The purpose of the ‘camp was to grow, learn to listen, trust, and serve, which are all factors that let : leadership show through. All camp, all participants from the St. Louis area ‘planned a student concerns ‘conference that was held ‘February 5 and 6 at ‘Stouffers Riverfront Towers. School districts from Iowa, ‘Nebraska, Kansas, and Mis- souri attended. The conference was enti- tled “What About Us? Stu- dents Urging Responsible ‘Education’. Sessions on ‘contemporary issues like ‘student teacher relations, tace relations and peer pressure. There was also a key note address from Dick Gregory and a dance Fri- day night. Junior Tonya Fann commented, ‘The conferences really help you to grow and stand back and look at the real world. When you eat a third world meal of rice and sauce while other groups across the room are eating first and second world food you real- ly feel for the people who starve!” Senior crowned Miss Jr. Miss The year of 1980-81 brought memorable oppor- tunities for North as a school and for individuals to be stand out Stars! But one par- ticular Star went to repre- sent North in a state and Na- tional event, the Jr. Miss Pageant. Senior Beth Smith started in the local competi- tion and won Miss Bridge- ton. Next was the state com- petition and again Beth came shining through as Miss Missouri! The Jr. Miss Pageant was a scholastic program which required time and talent. Beth, with the help of Chuck Larkin as accompa- nist, sang “You're Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile.’’ Because of the re- hearsal that was needed for the state pageant, Beth missed a whole week of school. During this time the girls from Missouri present- ed a show at Jamestown Mall and had a luncheon. But for the most part they practiced. During the week before the pageant that was held at the Florissant Civic Center, local families host- ed 2 girls while they were away from home. Beth com- mented, “The best thing was the atmosphere and the friends you make.” Along with the honor of Miss Missouri, Beth was also offered scholarships to col- leges all over the state and Beth chose a $1000 scholar- ship to the college of her choice. Miss Missouri con- cluded, “I am glad I tried and was fortunate enough to represent Bridgeton at State, and Missouri at the National competition!”’ nee Oe aa Besselsen wins science award Did you ever walk past room 311 and notice it wasn't excatly the same as the other classrooms? After all, how many classrooms had CPR dummies, blood pressure kits, and a bike-a- gometer? Room 311 was the Health Lab, a totally new concept to the Ferguson-Florissant School District. “The average student at North isn't as healthy as high school students ten years ago,’ said Mr. Bal- lard, Lab Director, ‘‘and many don't realize anything can be done to help them- selves get into better shape.’ Even though the lab already had much equipment, he wishes he could have had more room to work in since well over half of the student body used the Health Lab. “A bigger room would make the Health Lab better,” said David Geisel, a sophomore. Each sophomore at the school who took gym was required to spend every other day in the Health Lab. There he took a number of tests, both written and phys- ical, during his gym period. Each of the students was tested on flexibility, percent of body fat, and the time it took them to run the mile and a half on the track. These things were tested at both the beginning and at the end of the semester, to see if there was any im- provement after a semester in the lab and gym. There was also a written test given at the beginning of the se- mester to determine what a student did and didn't know about health. So if you didn’t use the Health Lab, you should have stopped in and looked around. You might have found out some things you didn't know. Getting into shape Each year, the MN sci- ence department, headed by Duane Lang, chooses a handful of science students to compete for the Bausch and Lomb Science Award. This year’s winner was Dave Besselsen. The students nominated had to have science honors, and courses in at least three out of the four areas of sci- ences which are physics, chemistry, biology, and earth science. Dave was chosen be- cause of his high grade point and his involvement in science outside of classes, such as his summer- time projects and self-con- ducted experiments. For winning, Dave got a plaque and a chance to compete for a scholarship to the University of Rochester. A trip to Germany for North students Sprechen sie deutch? If you don't, the McCluer and McCluer North students that went to Hagen, Germany, last summer certain- ly had their fill of it. The students were gone for three and one half weeks and were involved with excursions such as a week-end trip along the Rhine, day tours to areas around Hagen, and they even got to visit a castle! The students also got to swim in the North Sea and teach or just attend English classes at the German school they went to. However, the trip wasn't all smooth sailing. Their plane was one-and-a-half hours late out of the airport and they came close to missing that! As if this weren't enough, they finally reached their hotel, hot and sweaty, only to find there were no showers or baths! ‘They got a rude awakening,” said Miss Dom- brink, sponsor of the trip. ’ Well, as if all of this wasn't enough of a shock, they got to the beach, with the German stu- dents, and there were no dressing rooms. The German kids were just peeling their clothes off, while the American students proceeded. to hold up towels and blankets to undress. a But all of this was taken in stride. “'It's a real challenge and not an opportunity . ‘ easy to come by. Now the kids have an idea of the education and lifestyle of another culture,’ added Miss Dom- brink. Stopping to have a little fun, the exchange students act like little kids for a short time. Gathering with their presents at the airport in Germany, are all 17 MN and McCluer kids. The American exchange students attended this school in Hagen, Germany. German Trip 33 Part of the fun of the winter months is getting | together with friends for a day of sleigh “a = 34 Winter be 0B Bm Just the thought of those long, cold dreary days of winter put many !McCluer North students into a state of depression that lasted the whole winter ong. But not everyone was a victim of ithese so-called ‘‘winter blues’. There were many different ways people cold and did avoid the blues, and some }even had fun doing it. | For those who were brave enough, ‘there were a variety of outdoor activi- 'ties. While there was still snow on the ‘Sround, snowmen and unique snow sculptures popped up all over. By no ‘means were they all just typical hum- ‘drum snowmen. Snow cats, dogs, and Siete cars were just a few of the unusual sights to be seen. One way to spend a cold snowy day was to grab a bunch of your friends, a couple of inner tubes or sleds, and head out to the nearest hill for a fun- filled afternoon of sledding and snow ball fights. For those students who were not so brave as to venture out into the cold for very long, ice-skating was rather popu- lar. With Dellwood Recreational Cen- ter and North County Recreational Center both having indoor ice-rinks, this activity was more bearable than some outdoor activities. Ice-skating’s popularity gave way to the trial-run of a girl's hockey team. The girls got together for about six weeks every Sunday at Dellwood Re- creational Centr. Sophomore Connie Spiker played a major role in making the girls hockey team come about. “We had to keep bugging and remind- ing Mr. Carpenter. At first he wasn't sure if he would have the time to help a girl's hockey team.’’ commented Con- nie. So, even though the winter months brought depression to some people, it brought icy fun to the majority.

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Merry Christmas! Christmas around North was a spe- cial time and helped in the spreading of Christmas cheer to students and fac- ulty. “There is something about walk- ing through the school and being able to hear Christmas Carols from the or- chestra, band, and choirs that are per- forming in the concourse. It's really special!’ commented Senior Laurie Rhoades. MN’s Christmas involved many con- tributions from students and teachers! Mr. Chappeau upheld tradition in the all out decorating of room 229 and in spreading his belief of what Christmas is by presenting Bibles to all his stu- dents. Again this year teachers spent considerable effort in the competition for the honor to be Mr. Scrooge, Mrs. Claus and the big man himself, Santa!

The reason for the early pessimism and eventual surprise at season’s end was the dismal record the players had as freshmen at Cross Keys and Floris- sant — together the two junior highs had only one win last year, so the pros- pects didn't look too good for the Soph- omore Stars in September. But it wasn't long before the Stars showed they had a lot on the ball. Joe LaPorta, one of the Co-Captains, put it this way: ‘Even though as freshmen we didn't do too much, once we tasted success this year we knew we could do it.

Next year, Carpenter plans to employ these freshmen and Rowdies have Star spirit said, ‘The team really appreciates the fans’ support. In fact, the Rowdies’ opti- mistic spirit helps the team a great deal.” If hockey games could be won by spirit alone, the Stars would probably be undefeated. But, unfortunately, this is not the case. Factors other than sup- port affected the team this year. The loss of some of last year’s seniors made a difference. Coach Carpenter said, ‘When you lose three of your highest scorers, what can you expect?” Other losses, due to injury, also played a role in this year’s performance. He men- tioned that injuries to Gerry Glenn and Phil Hefti played a small role in the team’s success. ‘We probably would have won two or three -more games sophomores in a strategy based on speed, forechecking, and teamwork rather than this years’ stategy primarily based on one person: Mike Steinhaeu- fel (the team’s leading scorer). Although this year’s hockey Stars’ accomplishments did not reach those of the past two seasons, many of the younger players are expected to play hockey during their remaining years at North.

For the Homecoming Review, Show Choir members Linda Smith, Pervis McAllister, Laurie Fletcher and Chuck Larkin practice the routine for ‘Never My Love.” The clubs of a Stand Out Crowd were many — 38 to be exact. Almost every student found at least one club that he could be active in. It could be anything from Spectrum to Pom Pons to Young Ladies of Elegance. The ac- tivities that each club sponsored were what made the clubs of McCluer North stand out in a crowd. The Show Choir, for instance, went to Fayette for competition; the Outdoor Club took a float trip in Canada over the summer; NHS sponsored a blood drive which accumulated 130 pints of blood; and Probe sponsored a mock election on Election Day to see which candidate the school favored. The clubs crowd also lost and gained a few clubs. North On Wheels (NOW) and the Bowling Club were no longer active because of the lack of members. On the other hand, the Philosophy Club had its first active year, doing such things as reading and discussing Aristotle or debating the existence of matter. No matter what you were interested in, MN always had something to keep you busy. And even if you weren't ac- tive in anything, there was still the op- portunity to get involved. All the clubs were more than happy to welcome new members to help them do things that would stand out in a crowd yr a ate During half-time, Color Guard marches across the field to ‘God Bless America.”’ Mat Maid Captain Kathi shows her school spirit during practices.

Terri was in charge of getting in touch with all the girls and getting them together for practices. She also had to go to Mr. Luetje with problems that arose during practices. When Phyllis Balaga came along to help the girls, Terri would sit down with her and work on routines.

We want two!!!’ Angie Eastman leads the squad in a chant. Girls get into the sports scene “Who's that coming across the field?” This was the question asked by students attending MN's home football games. The answer: Those twelve peo- ple coming across the field were the Color Guard. In the past, the Color Guard could only be seen on the 10 yard line. This year, under the direction of Phylis Ba- laga, the Color Guard changed their procedures. There were four girls on rifles and during the half-time show they presented a rifle routine. The flags moved around on the field, in and out of the band. Commander Terri Raasch said, ‘The girls on Color Guard put a lot of time and effort into their practices and per- formances.”’ Frequently the girls would stay after school until 5:00 p.m. to per- fect their routine. Performing with the marching band and the Color Guard at half-time and pre-game were Debbie Lambert and Linda Baker, MN’s ma- jorettes. Debbie and Linda made up their own routines. Everyday after school during the football season, the majorettes practiced along with the band. Not only did they periorm at football games, but at half-time during basketball. Debbie, Senior, said, “'It’s fun and a lot of practice, but when you get in front of an audience it all seems worthwhile.” Matmaids-who were they? No they weren't maids who clean mats. This group of girls helped the coaches of the wrestling team with their paper work. The matmaids helped in money raising projects for the team. Marilyn Edds has been the sponsor for the past five years. ‘It seems to me that all the girls want to be a part of the team,” said Mrs. Edds.

At a Sophomore football game, Jackie Kur- lowski chants to support the team. Cheerleaders arouse spirit Cheering, flips, chants, pyramids, sil- ver and blue. Mix all of these qualities together and what do you find? Of course, MN cheerleaders. Varsity cheerleaders, under the lead- ership of co-captains Julie Smith and Mary Foeller, practiced three times a week during the summer to prepare for camp. During the week of camp at Vin- cennes University, the varsity squad took many blue ribbons, spirit sticks and earned a spirit megaphone and a second place excellence award. The Sophomore squad, led by Sandra Clark and Sherry McGott, also earned numerous white, red, and blue rib- bons. Linda Oldenburg, senior cheer- leader, said she enjoyed camp be- cause, ‘‘we got to know each other and it helped us learn to work together un- der pressure.” After recovering from the muscle aches of camp, the cheerleaders began to focus on upcoming sports events. Football games, soccer games, girls’ 80 Sophomore and Varsity Cheerleaders and boys’ basketball games were where students could find the cheer- leaders exhibiting their cheers and spirit. During the course of the school year, the cheerleaders put forth much effort to raise and encourage school spirit. They planned the fall, winter, and spring pep assemblies to teach chants and cheers to students and to introduce the various athletic teams. Students could often see the cheerleaders wear- ing football and soccer jerseys on days of games. They also initiated an all school color day, where all students and faculty were encouraged to adorn themselves with silver and blue cloth- ing. Springtime brought about tryouts for both varsity and sophomore squads. It was a time for the sophomore cheer- leaders to move on to the varsity squad, and for the senior varsity cheerleaders to reminisce over past, exciting, enjoy- able moments of being an MN cheer- leader. Giving the high-five sign, Linda Smith and Laurie Fletcher celebrate a football victory. Exhibiting school spirit, the Varsity Cheer- leaders perform the traditional cheer ‘Hey All You Star Fans Pe STAND OUT STyyR Cheerleaders always stood out at MN because they could always be found cheering in tront of large crowds at MN sports activities. According to a senior varsity cheerleader, there was one squad member who was truly dedi- cated to cheerleading and always gave her one hundred percent. Junior cheerleader Denise Raiche was this ex- ceptional person. Denise was a cheer- leader during her ninth grade year at FJHS and again promoted school spirit this year at MN. Reminiscing over the past year, Den- ise said, “I enjoy cheering because it makes me _ feel wanted when team members thank us for cheering.’ North's squad is also thankful for standouts like Den- ise. During a time-out, the Varsity Cheerleaders perform a hello cheer for the SLUH fans.

STAND OUT sTyR Senior Chuck Larkin stood out as the only MN representative in All State Choir this year. All State Choir is a very select group of high school students from the state of Missouri. To be in All State Choir, Chuck had to sing a solo and sight read in front of a panel of judges. All State Choir was not Chuck's only involvement. He was also Presi- dent Of Choir IV, a member of Show Choir, Junior Sen- ior Madrigal, and the band Solace. This year Chuck was. pianist-con- ductor for ‘You're A Good Man Char- lie Brown.

Choir II rehearses their songs for the Proces- sion of Carols for Christmas Vespers. STAND OUT STR MN has always been a school of many standout students. Sophomore Tony Hartsfield was yet another of these Stars. Tony was a member of Choir II and Sophomore Madrigal, and he played french horn for orchestra and tuba in the symphonic band. Besides his music at MN, Tony played the pi- ano, taught guitar, and sang with the church and a contemporary gospel choir. He also showed an interest (and talent) in the drama department! Tony was an excellent student and a very nice person with the makings for a very successful fu- ture.

But if it was a Tuesday or a Thursday morning, for 16 sophomore students the school day began at 7:00 a.m. Why? Because those 16 students were the members of the Sophomore Madrigal, and that's when they re- hearsed. In early September, the necessary tryouts were held so that Richard Banks could choose the 16 best singers of the forthcoming sophomore class. Besides their performances here at North for seasonal concerts, they also performed at Jamestown Mall and the Marriott Ho- tel at Christmas. Two other choral groups at MN were Choir II, directed by Mr. Banks, and Choir III, directed by Don Jones. Choir II was mainly sophomores, and the anly prerequisite was 9th grade Choir I. But Choir III, although it was a class, re- quired tryouts and consisted of juniors with a few scattered seniors. Both groups also sung at seasonal concerts and at a pop concert. In the spring they went to Festival, where with other area choirs, they were judged and graded. At Festival they stood up to Star stan- dards, bringing in A’s and B's. At almost any hour of the day, music could be heard sounding throughout the school. Each group stood out in it’s own way, and each proved to be very rewarding to everyone involved, along with all of those who heard. Choir I], III, and Sophomore Madrigal 85 a 5 pees From a Beethoven sonata to a rous- ing rendition of ‘South Rampart Street Parade” to the pulsating beat of “Theme from Rocky’, North had mu- sic, music, music from three outstand- ing instrumental groups. Directed by Tim Pfeiffer, the Orches- tra played primarily classical music. It was comprised mostly of string players, with a few brass and wind players com- ing from Symphonic Band to play one day a week. The Orchestra played at the Civic Center in the winter to raise money for a spring trip to the Kansas City Conservatory where they per- formed. The local highlight of the Or- chestra’s season was a March solo con- cert. The Dixieland Band was a lively group of musicians who played Dixie- land jazz both at North and for local organizations outside of school. Com- prised of sax, trumpet, trombone, bass, drum, and guitar players, it jammed on After tuning his guitar, Tom Corey tests it's new sound. Practicing a new song, Sue Herzog tries not to miss a note. Music, Music, Music!!! songs like ‘Hello Dolly!’ and ‘Tin Roof Blues.”’ A highlight of the year was the band’s participation in the annual Spring Jazz Festival. Certainly the wackiest looking musi- cal group at school was the Pep Band. When this group played at basketball games, its members tried to do some- thing to make them stand out. They often wore crazy tee shirts, neck ties, or hats. Their music alone was a stand out feature of the games. 'l really like the way fans get involved when we play what they like,” said Sheryl Hawkey, flute player. ‘Hot Stuff,’ “Dim All The Lights, and ‘Championship’ were sure-fire crowd pleasers. The Pep Band sometimes played for the Pom Pon Corps, Majorettes, and also appeared before different organizations outside of school. Whatever the taste in music, prob- ably the Pep Band, Dixieland Band, or Orchestra was able to satisfy it. Trying to play in unison, John Kavanaugh and Mark Antolik listen carefully. In the MN band room, the orchestra rehearses for the upcoming performance. STAND OUT STR “Holly Frede was the best violinist this year.”’ is what Heather McFarland had to say about Holly. Holly plays the violin for such organizations as: the All State Orchestra, the St. Louis Youth Symphony, the MN Orchestra and played the base for Show Choir this past year. In addition to all of this, she is also soprano leader and student choir director at McCluer North. With both of her parents being mu- sic teachers at var- Lows Schools throughout the dis- trict, Holly has quite a musical ca- reer opportunity awaiting her. Concentrating on an E flat, Jeff Nuenuebel fin- ishes the last chord. A history book's creation Did you ever stop to think how this book, or for that matter, this page, came into existence? It obviously didn't just make itself, nor did MN hire a company to do it. This book that you hold right now is the product of over twenty-five, busy MN students who worked everyday, right from the first day of school, through Christmas Break, up until the last day of school to complete — all 248 pages! Why so long? Well, a trip down to room C-3 or up to A.V. during 6th hour would have answered that question! That was where the staff met everyday, as a class, to produce MN’s history book. Upon entering, the whole concept of a regular classroom situation was gone. The students were the producers and therefore could come and go as they needed — whether it was to run up to A.V. to check on pictures or to go inter- view a teacher or fellow student. There was a constant murmur of activity. Everything centered around dead- lines. Approximately forty-eight pages had to be turned in at each of the five deadlines. Each student was assigned two pages per deadline and it was their 90 Yearbook responsibility to come up with a layout, (the positioning of pictures and copy on a page), set up interviews, write copy, assign a photographer, get a headline, write captions, AND do a stand-out job on all of it! Finally, after weeks of hard work, deadline night would arrive. All pages for that deadline had to be in the mail to the yearbook company by that evening. So when that bell rang at 2:15, no one even attempted to leave. Everyone would work to complete their pages, and have fun at the same time. After a few hours, of ‘work’', someone would yell for food, and a food-run was made. Upon its arrival, whether it be pizza, McDonald's, or Arby's, everyone munched out and took it easy for a while. Then it was back to the old grind. Everyone put the finishing touches on their pages, and finally after all the pages had been checked and double- checked by the co-editors, the dead- line was made! What next? Start over again. An- other forty-eight pages to do and an- other deadline to make! The result; A stand out yearbook for 1980. Yearbook Sponsor Mike Thacker, discusses a few points with the yearbook staff. Students with cameras are a familiar sight, and Jerry Schroeder, a Polaris ‘‘shutterbug’’, as- sumes one photographic stance. Copy “butchering’’is left to Dan Regnier, Asst. Editor, and Sharon Gray looks on to see what will become of her copy. STAND OUT ST;yrR Mark Ebling, the photography editor for the 1981 POLARIS, really put him- self out to get the best possible pictures for the yearbook. He oversaw all pho- tography arrangements. For example, to get the aerial view of MN on page 1, Mark took it upon himself to call the St. Louis County Police Department twelve times! They finally agreed, picked him up on the field between FJHS and MN, took him up in_ their whirlybird, and he took the picture. Now that’s really standing out, and up in a crowd! Co-Editors Monica May and Chris LaPorta go over the common terms of “yearbooking”’ with the new staff members. Every photographer has different assign- ments, and Photography Sponsor, Dale Davis, explains one to photographer Alicia Geraci.

They were into everything from sprucing up the school with murals, multi-colored wall hangings and plants in the con- course, to printed works like Omega and Never Again, both short story col- lections. For the second year in a row, Probe sponsored computer dating ser- vices for Valentine’s day. Shari Nelson, one of Probe’s mem- bers, said, ‘Our club is really helpful to the students. It develops the raw tal- ents that everyone has. It teaches you to keep your mind on a project and to finish things you start.’’ Mrs. Linda Es- chen, one of the three probe sponsors, added, ’Probe is a totally extracurricu- lar activity.

First, it is based on your intelligence, second your creativity, and lastly your task commitment. Interact was another interesting club for kids to be involved in. Interact was headed and run by MN students with the help of sponsors, Mrs. Sarah Boyer and Mrs. Sue Barry, foreign language teachers. Interact has sponsored hay- rides, bagel sales, and an exchange program with New Zealand this year. In addition to the other exciting events and programs Interact has had, they also took second place in the 1980 Homecoming Parade float judging.

STAND OUT STyxR Designing an attractive layout is just one of the many determining factors in the success of a newspaper. Senior Judy Schaller’s main job on the 1980- 81 Star Gazer staff was designing the layouts to make the newspaper look as attractive as possible. Judy spent part of the 1980 summer at a workshop in lowa learning how to improve the look of the paper. When asked if she planned to pursue this as a ca- reer, she said, ‘| really like doing it! It would be neat to do for a magazine or a newspaper, but | haven't really thought about it.” Writing good articles, Ellen Lemond finds, takes a lot of concentration. Teamwork between students such as Robin Saffley and Duwan Dunn often proves very help- ful in making a Star Gazer deadline. 94 Spectrum and Star Gazer —_—— SS ee ree ee Se a ee Afro-American heritage week and Debutantes show pride Many customs, traits, and beliefs have been passed down through the ages from ancestors. Early English, German, Polish and other settlers brought with them to the new world old customs which they had practiced in their original homeland. Customs and beliefs for blacks were disrupted due to the abrupt manner in which they were brought to. the New World. So M. N. for one week revital- ized the customs and beliefs for blacks during Afro-American Heritage Week in February. Monday was Afro Aware- ness Day which means on this day ev- eryone dressed in African garb. Tues- day was Gospel Night and Wednes- day, Art Holliday, Channel 5 Sports broadcaster, was the guest speaker at an assembly where he talked about the theme of Heritage week which was “Your Heritage is the Key to Your Fu- ture.’ Saturday ended Black Heritage Week with the Afro Ball. Helping Mrs. Tolson address the Young La- dies of Elegance is Nina Love. Attending a planning meeting for the Debu- tante Ball are Wendy Oliver, Debra Seiber, and Camille Morris. Black Heritage was one custom that had been revitalized and highlighted at M.N. to show Black pride. Pride was also an important part of the Young Ladies of Elegance, made up of MN students known as debutantes. The Debutante Ball was the biggest event of the year for the Debutantes. The Debutante Ball was held on March 28, 1981. The young ladies came dressed in long white formals. Their es- corts wore black tuxedos. Gwendolyn Jones commented, “I enjoyed being in the organization because it gives me a chance to explore various places with other young ladies.” Ruth Tolson, sponsor for both the Debutantes and Black Heritage Pro- gram, commented, “I enjoy working with both groups. My own black heri- tage is very important to me. Black Heritage means my past, present and future.” As Lisa Brown and Angie Wright listen, the re- quirements for being a Debutante are explained. One of the highlights of Black History Week was a speech by Art Holliday, the Channel 5 sportscaster. STAND OUT STyR ‘Bernidene wrote a beautiful poem expressing her dignity and pride in be- ing black,’’ said Mr. Jason, explaining why Bernidene Seiber, Sophomore, was a Stand Out Star during Afro American Heritage Week. Bernidene’s poem was printed in the program for the Alfro Ball, and she also won a $25 savings bond for her literary effort. Ber- nidene became inter- ested in writing this poem on black aware- ness because she felt she could express her- self as a black person, and she had been in- terested in poetry for two years, entering different contests.

Working with the math club gave Fred some activity to look for- ward to atter school. “T really enjoyed being a part of the club, said Fred.

Two McCluer North clubs add variety. Regardless of your interests and hob- bies, McCluer North had the club for you. If you enjoyed a quieter, some- what intellectual activity, you would have enjoyed the Math Club. On the other hand, if you were more adventur- ous, the Outdoor Club was for you. The Math Club was made up of eight students who were in math classes ranging from Algebra to Calculas who enjoyed competing in math activities outside of class. “Unlike many other clubs in school, there is no special requirement to join the Math Club,” said Mr. Chappeau, sponsor. ‘‘The Math Club is open to any student who had some special in- terest in math.” The club met once a week in room 229. Members competed in several tournaments at local high schools and colleges. Mr. Chappeau added, “ Be- ing number one this year gives the stu- dents something to push for next year.’ Many North students competed in the Missouri Math League where they had the chance to win a scholarship to The University Missouri of Columbia. Also, they could win $200 in cash. Senior Kathy Panetti said, ‘‘Repre- senting North in math contests was one of the greatest experiences of my life.”’ For those McCluer North students who enjoyed being in the great out- doors, the Outdoor Club-otherwise known as ODC-was the ideal place for them. Dave Roth, with the help of Chris Brown, turned ODC into a worthwhile club. Many of the ODC activities in- cluded float trips, canoeing, rapelling, and camping. The ODC also went to Canada with 43 MN students making the trip. The club met every Wednesday in room 312. There were no special re- quirements in order to be an ODC member. In order to go on any ODC outings, all that was necessary was to have your parents sign a permission slip and pay any required fees. Regardless of what your interests were, McCluer North had the club to fit your interest. Out Door And Math Club 101 Members of NHS, Veronica Vallette and Sheryl Boehm, prepare for the blood drive. STAND OUT STR National Honor Society and Philos- ophy Club both had one member in common. Senior Steve Kanne was in- volved in both of these activities. Flat- tered about being in NHS, this was Steve's first year as an active member: Because this was the first year MN had the Philosophy Club, it was also the first chance for Steve to participate. Steve said, ‘| wanted to be in this club be- cause MN didn't have a club that dis- cussed philisophical issues, they're im- portant because - the issues affect the J way you think.” By participating in two academically relat- ed clubs at MN, Steve Kanne was an obvious stand out senior. At club meetings, philisophical issues are the main topic. 102 NHS and Philosophy Club After giving blood for the NHS blood drive, Mr. Waldo takes a breather.

Both of these clubs had students who were in- terested in participating in a club which was academically oriented. Which of the numerous clubs at MN were these?

Spon- sored by Stanley Cox, the club met every other week to discuss philosophi- cal issues such as the ‘Nature of Knowl- edge” and the Greek philosopher Pla- to.

According to Terry Proffitt, sponsor of NHS, the members of NHS are truly, ‘a stand-out group of stu- dents.” With the birth of the Philosophy Club and continuation of NHS, stu- dents interested in academics had an outlet for their interests. With their fo- cus on academics, it was obvious how these clubs stood out in a crowd at MN. NHS and Philosophy Club 103 Dance Club member Renee Albers is able to display her talent during the annual Homecom- ing Review. Pep Club members such as Leon Chaptmon, Charlene Washington, and Constance Williams discuss different ways of selling keychains, just one of their many money-making projects. Clubs get f, together in time Have you ever stopped to think about some of the difficulties in starting a club? Some clubs like Dance Club, have better luck than others in getting started. And then you have other clubs like Pep Club that for different reasons just cant seem to get going. “T think Dance will always be popu- lar,’ commented Mrs. Sharon Ryan, McCluer North's Dance Club sponsor. Dancing has been a popular past time for a very long time. This could have been one reason for the success of the Dance Club. Giving students a chance to show olf their dancing abilities by putting on Homecoming Review was one of the Dance Club’s main activities. Any per- son or group that wanted to dance in Homecoming Review for Dance Club was welcome. Mrs. Ryan who also taught a dance class, encouraged many of her students to participate. The routines performed were choreo- graphed by the students themselves. After Homecoming Review many of the club members became involved in other things such as dancing for Afro Ball, Musicals, plays, etc. People were encouraged to dance in other things such as Valley of Flowers and Junior Miss, also. “Because of danceclass there is no trouble getting people for Dance Club,’’ commented Mrs. Ryan, explain- ing the success of the Dance Club. For this reason and others there were few problems for the club since it came 104 Dance Club and Pep Club into existance nine years ago. Throughout the history of McCluer North, there has been a Pep Club nS some form or another. “Last year was _ the first year we had a Pep Club which lasted the whole year,” said Pep Club © Sponsor Mrs. Nancy Adelsberger. A loosely structured constitution and the election of officers helped to foo 2G the club in 1980. Promoting school spirit was the main - concern for Pep Club. Pep Club ac- , many different ways _ during the school year. Making ban- ners, working on money-making pro-— jects, and participating in and working on Homecoming were just a few of Pep Club activities. Members of Pep Club received dis- counts on such things as home football — and basketball games. They also re- — ceived a discount price for riding on the bus to away games. _ One reason for the difficulty in cer _ ting Pep Club stabalized was the lack of people willing to become involved. “A lot of people could join, they just dont,” commented Mrs. Adelsberger. “Many of the people who would have joined were already involved in other activities such as Cheerleading and Pom-Pon. As a stable organization, we re still struggling. ” Whether still struggling or long es- tablished, clubs like Pep Club and Dance Club helped to make McCluer North standout. Making posters and signs is one way Lisa Batchman helps show her schoo! spirit in. Pep Club. After every money-making project all money must be carefully accounted for by members of Pep Club. STAND OUT STR “She's got so much school spirit. She is really enthusiastic about McCluer North!’ This statement was made about Senior Kim Shannon, Pep Club's sec- retary-treasurer. During the spring of 1980, Kim along with two other stu- dents, was elected to serve as the offi- cers of Pep Club. When the 198] school year started, the two other offi- cers had to quit. The Homecoming float, selling of keychains and the Activity Fair were just a few of the projects Kim orga- nized during the beginning of the 1981 school year. She also had the important job of taking roll. One group that performed during Homecom- ing Review is Star Love. Dance Club and Pep Club 10 5 Traditional MN committees McCluer North was a better place for students to get along because of three special committees. These were the Student Relations Committee, the Sen- ior Committee, and the Junior Commit- tee. Racial relations was the main prob- lem that the Student Relations Commit- tee dealt with. This committee helped to solve problems between blacks and whites as well as any other student re- lated problems. Originally formed by a court order, SRC only had to be in existence for two years, but has been around for over four years. The longev- ity of th is committee shows the enthusi- asm MN students have in solving racial problems. The committee was active all year. They sponsored an Activities Fair and attended a day long conference with students from Soldan High school. This conference led to an exchange day with Soldan. Another committee that enabled stu- dents to get along and have a good time together was the Junior Commit- tee. This committee was in charge of planning and sponsoring the Junior Senior Prom. The Junior Committee 106 Student Relations, Junior, And Senior Committees spent most of the year fundraising for the big event.They sold M M's and planned a skating party at a roller rink, among other activities. The Junior Committee was determined to make the Prom a big success. Good atten- dance by both Juniors and Seniors was the main proof to a successful Prom. The one committee formed only for the graduating class was the Senior Committee. These students picked the Baccalaureate speaker, the senior gitt, and helped make their graduation ceremony beautiful and memorable. The Senior Committee raised funds for the senior gift by selling senior jerseys, frisbees, and other small Christmas gifts. Mrs. Maisie Keeser, a Senior Committee sponsor, said, ‘The Senior Committee members work for a con- crete goal and are responsible for the actual graduation ceremony.’ The committee had over thirty-three active senior members. These committees were traditional organizations at MN for the past four years. Each helped students to get along and make their experience at McCluer North a memorable one. SRC meetings offer students like Joe Mullins and Laura Hugo a good time between serious business. Christmas gifts are picked out by Rhonda Greer and Sponsor Maisie Keeser. The Advisement Center is the gathering place for the enthusiastic and concerned Student Relations Committee. STAND OUT STR If a student were to attend a Student Relations meeting he would probably have listened to a dedicated committee member, Taquincy Miller. Taquincy was a member of the SRC for three years and was an enthusiastic and will- ing worker. Taquincy was outspoken on the subject of desegregation and was often a discussion leader. ‘'Ta- quincy'’s outstanding contribution to the SRC will be sorely missed next year,’ said Gary Wheeler, a sponsor of Mthe, SRC™ ott: dents like Taquincy made McCluer North a _ better place. lpi i The Senior gift is a subject for conversati on between Judy Selzer and Kathy Simpson of the Senior Committee. Fund raising is the main concern of Sandy Mitchell, the sponsor of the Junior Committee. Student Relations, Junior, And Senior Committees 107 Julie Smith washes off the fire extinguisher while Janet Gruettemeyer sweeps up paper that missed the waste basket. Cleaning up the court yard of leaves is more fun with friends. Just ask Denise Baker, Sue Von- derheid, Julie Smith, and Janet Gruettemeyer. STAND OUT STR At one time or another a figure in a wheelchair could be seen practically flying down the hallways. Possibly you were one of those almost run over! This chair on wheels was probably moving faster and with more energy than many of the students it passed! Cheryl Endicott, Student Council President, was this figure on the wheels, and stood out as a-‘‘Star’’ with a beautiful personality and a strong drive to suc- ceed, as she cer- tainly has. Chery] is a Mat Maid, Inter- act Historian, a member of the Pep Club, and on Sen- ior Committee. Student Service tries to keep the school in good appearance for any visitors and of course the students. Denise Baker, Sue Vonderheid, and Julie Smith clean some of those “phrases” off the library tables. 108 Student Council and Student Service As Denise Baker pushes the mop, she leaves behind floors that shine! The court yard is really a place to see all sea- sons, from budding flowers of spring to the fall- ing snow of winter. Sue Vonderheid picks up leaves to make room for the upcoming snow flakes! Clubs that let stars shine Student Council and Student Ser- vice Program, a branch of Student Council, allowed MN students to not only work for others but also participate in the community. Student Council President, Chery] Endicott, explained that Student Coun- cil was an organization that gave stu- dents responsibilities and helped with any student teacher conflicts that may have arisen. Decorating MN’s Christ- mas tree, sponsoring student ex- change, and the reverse dance were the main projects Student Council was responsible for. Cheryl commented, “I always thought Student Council was neat. But you do have problems getting people involved.” Student Service Program was a vol- unteer program to get students in- volved in community projects. Typical projects included picking up litter, can- dystriping, raising money for various charities, working in old folks homes, and bringing the sounds of Christmas to shut-ins and neighborhoods by car- oling. Student Service was run by a com- mittee of student council representa- tives, with Denise Baker as chairman and Kathy Wilds and Linda Smith as co-chairmen. In order for a project to begin it had to be considered and approved by Stu- dent Council. After the project was completed, the participants had to re- port to Student Council. All partici- pants received a pin a nd certificate, plus it was noted on their transcripts that they had completed a service pro- ject. Kathy Wilds commented, “It would be more successful if more people would become involved.” These two programs gave students an opportunity to stand out as ‘‘Stars that let their light shine on others.” Student Council and Student Service 109 ABEL, DAN: Cross Country 10,11,12; Track 10,11,12.

MN couples get it together Couples. As one walked down MN's_ halls, one could see them everywhere. Tall guys and short girls, older girls and younger guys, younger girls and older guys, and then there were always the few who seemed to have been dating forever. There were those who were together all day, everyday, as well as those who didn't see each other very often at all. Whatever the coupling situ- ation, one could have found it at North. Senior Rhonda Payne's boyfriend was away at college and didn't come back often. Some people would have ideXoloCo olamuetolamiedtsimle)aloprolisir-leler- Me lclitale| would have been awtul. However, Rhonda didn't. She said, “I like this situation because it brings us closer and we appreciate each other more.

Sure, I miss him, but it’s really better overall.” Then there was Senior Dave Stuck- man and Sophomore Janelle Gaston. Since Janelle was only sixteen, they had problems with getting into some movies and also with curfew. Janelle exolbl Kole stohicoMe (o)acclolstalComsuolel o)tcma ahem delq police for being out too late, but Dave couldn't. But Dave didn't let the age factor bother him. “If we couldn't get into a movie, then we'd just see another one,’ he said. For Senior Polly Smith and Junior Pervis McAllister, the situation was still different. Pervis’ main problem was not being able to get the car at times. “When that happens, then Polly just comes over to my house,” said Pervis. |sxe) Ibiarcicl Ko Hamm Exe (oy ell ap eettolelKe(e)telefKoni-)an re) his house a lot because | really like his family.

Ac- cording to the two mock elections and the mock debates held by Star Gazer and Probe, students were taking a genuine interest in the government. Through the month of October and early November, students would see posters and banners urging them to support various candidates for the na- tional election and the school’s mock elections. Over half of the MN student body got involved by voting, working on the campaign of a candidate, or working on the debates. The Star Gazer poll, which was dis- tributed to all third hour classes, showed Ronald Reagan as the next president. The Probe mock election was held during all lunch periods and the outcome showed the re-election of Jimmy Carter. The results of both polls were close and showed even support on all sides. Three mock presidential debates were sponsored by Probe. These de- bates took place during school, and all students were invited to attend. Tom Firasek, Junior, was the moderator for these debates with John Cager, Sen- ior, as President Carter; Mark Anto- lick, Junior, as Ronald Reagan; and Bri- an Friedman, Senior, as John Ander- son. ‘The debates were a lot of fun and a lot of kids wanted to listen,’’ said Tom Firasek. MN took an active part in the 1980 election by informing students of the issues and urging them to support the candidates. fae tas hy ths om tor Cooeener Common, Retest 5 Wand, Sxcreiany Taewowen.

It's Sunday morning. You've just awoken from a peaceful nights sleep. It feels like it’s going to be a beautiful day. You go to the window to look out on a glorious morning and — TER- ROR!!! Long white strands of toilet pa- per are hanging from the tops of the trees and spread throughout the whole yard. Your glorious day has just van- ished with the realization that you must spend the day cleaning up the mess that was made just hours before while you were sound asleep. Pranks like this were just normal, everyday occurances for most high school students. Some of the more common pranks included soaping cars, placing phone calls as mysterious strangers, and TPing houses. One of the more unusual pranks was picking up a parked car and moving it into the lawn, usually between two trees. So, why did people pull pranks and what made them choose you as the vic- tim? There was really no specific rea- son for participating in a prank. Usually it was just something to do when your “good friends’’ didn't have a lot of money and wanted a good laugh. “'It makes people look like a fool. You choose people who won't really care or won't get mad, ’ commented one junior who asked to remain anonymous for personal reasons. But people some- times had other ideas. Some pranks were pulled for revenge on someone who had pulled a prank on them, or on someone they disliked. Some pranks took weeks of prepara- tion to organize, but for the most part they were just spur-of-the-moment jokes. The next time you see one of your friends’ “squeezing the Charmin”, play it safe and question their motives. - Underclass 1S] Lisa Jury Jeff Justice Joe Kaczmark Kathryn Kaeppel David Kalkbrenner _ Craig Ralen Mary Kaminski _ Eve Kampmeinert Patricia Kane John Kavanaugh — Karen Kastrup Sue Ratraba Craig Kedl _ Becky Keen ‘Kim Keener Bridget K Dave Knickmeyer Lon Kinger Mary Koch Jenny Koester _ Kent Koester _ Mark Koester _ Laura Koetting Peggy Koetting 182 Undertas IWAN sire ivaele o)ls tele) elssuelne) ie! “Why do you smoke? Because it's a habit or just because you like it? Or maybe you smoke because your crowd does?’ These were the questions that were asked to the smoking area crowd. Steve Reinkemeyer replied, “I like smoking!’’ On the other hand, Al Schnettgoecke said it was just a bad habit. Most of the people that smoke during school said they do it to relax and escape from school pressure or just to be sociable. The majority of the people that smoke now started when they were younger. Steve said he started because of peer-pressure and because all of his friends did. Al commented, “'! just de- cided to do it one day.” Also, people said they started because their parents smoked. “When it comes to buying cigarettes it gets expensive!”’ the people from the bleachers remarked. How do they pay ' for their smokes? Many of those who did not work bought cigarettes with idoCeybem hbbetel ols selevel=yacey um eeloyel=nmrne)eclce(ejere! old mom. On an average, people said they smoked about halt a pack on a week day and a pack to a pack and a half on a weekend day. Since smoking can become a bad habit the majority of the smokers have tried to quit but failed. One anonymous junior said she tried to quit but she started having fits so she started again. On the other hand, some people don’t want to quit. Our smoking area is great in the spring and summer when it’s nice, but in the fall and winter it gets too wet and cold! explained one of the crowd, when asked what he liked and disliked about the smoking area. Everyone who frequented the area agreed that there should be some kind of pavillion out- side or thought MN should have an inside area for smoking. Unfortunately for the smokers, the administration _ does not agree. Being stereotyped was one thing that plagued people who used the smoking area.

Where did they go when they wanted to be with the crowd? Where did they go when they wanted to complete their homework, or maybe wanted to be alone with their girlfriend or boytriend? Besides the usual MN hangouts-the concourse, Li- brary, and smoking area- there were other favorite places where students spent their time. sUor-@) ctlloD-y7-llejevecterehmoltehyojueleterel and outdoor area was popular for peo- ple who enjoyed a breath of fresh air. Veronica Vallette, MN senior, com- mented, ‘'] like to go to this area when the weather is nice and warm to catch a little sun.” Where did students go when they wanted to ‘sack out’ during a com- mons? Among the favorites were the couches, one in the Advisement Cen- ter and one in the Library. Another popular place to get some shut eye was NeCoMRU) 0) or= 4m of-1 (ore) eh a coloyeeMmon—sulele) atee the football field.

Other students who wished not to be disturbed sat on the benches in the concourse or even went to an empty classroom to work. The size of North offers many places where students can spend their time. Whether they wanted to study, social- ize or sleep, students found a variety of places at North av ailable for their use.

Or if it did start, did you hold your breath worrying whether you were going to be able to drive out, or was your car going to refuse to go into drive and leave you stranded? Maybe you only had to worry about replacing that 15 or so gallons of gas you put in yesterday, or so it seems. Worse yet, you might have been worrying about all these things as you gingerly inserted your key into the ignition. Well, you were not alone as many students experienced transmission and other maintenance problems, and with gasoline hitting $1.25 and up per gal- lon, most students wondered where their next tankful was going to come from. For example, Diane Eckert, Junior, had problems with her big 1970 Ford station wagon. She drove to school each day, but, she said, ‘It has to warm up for about 10 minutes before I can drive it anywhere. Once it warms up | have to switch the transmission back and forth to get the car into drive.” Besides all that, Diane said, ‘It seems like I have to put ten dollars into the car every other day for gas.”’ Even with all its problems, Diane liked her Ford be- cause ‘My car is so big, I can almost have a party in it.” John Francis, Senior, had similar problems with his ‘68 Ford Mustang. He said, ‘‘Gas was no problem because the Mustang gets good mileage for an automatic.”’ John did have a transmis- sion problem until it was repaired. It wouldn't go into third. He also had to replace the brake linings. John said, ‘Maintenance is definitely the biggest hassle.” The biggest problem for Vernon Townson, on the other hand, was gas. Vernon couldn't always afford to put gas into his 1972 Monte Carlo. For in- stance, ‘Once I wanted to go to a drive-in to see a movie, and | couldn't because I had no gas.” Besides gas though, Vernon didn't have too much trouble with his car. Teresa Moran said, ‘I put more into my car than it’s worth because every six months something goes wrong. But gas is no problem because all my friends chip in.” Teresa's 1962 Plym- outh Fury might not look pretty, but it runs better than some. On a more positive note, many stu- dents like Joe Fazio had few problems with their cars. Even with all the problems many stu- dents had with their cars, they still liked them because they could use their cars to go to school, go to work, pick up a date or just have fun driving around town.

If you were to take the average amount of money you spend weekly elated eohbliaholbvantetolal oyandetomciablelcolan ore)elee lation at McCluer North, the total amount of money spent would be no small sum! But where does it all go? Here is a list of some of MN students more common expenses: — Weekend Expenses; this was the biggest category at MN. Included in this area were such things as movies, food, and beverages of one sort or an- other. — Gasoline; this was also another big one. Students agreed that much of their gas was burned because of driv- ing to and from school, and driving around on weekends. — Cigarettes also blew a lot of pay checks. The smoking area regulars found this habit could get very expen- sive. — Believe it or not, even the food at school drained quite a few wallets, but not just the cafeteria and snack bar food. All the candy bars, M Ms, lolli- pops, candy sticks, and Tootsie Pop Drops that were sold throughout the year were hard to resist for some stu- dents. — And finally, students agreed that things like class rings, yearbooks, sen- ior jerseys, underclass and senior pic- ture packets, as well as senior an- nouncements blew quite a lot of their money even though they were bought esalbane)eleren So, the next time you are wondering what happened to all your money, take a quick look down this list. If you are like other McCluer North students, it will probably have been spent on one of those categories. CLAN or any other store at Jamestown Mall is lace to go shopping, a real pocket drain- ents. a eae _ Kathleen kodgers _ Vickie Rodewald _ Gregory Rogger _ Ross Rosenberg © Kim Ross: Frank Roth Jean Roth Bill Runge __ Paul Runge Vicki Rzepka Robin Saffley_ _ Dave Salisbury Dave Sanders Dean Schacht _ jeff Scheibe _ Steve Scheig MaryBeth Scherbring Donna Scherick Greq Scheve Jim Scheve _ Meg Schewe ech Patrick Schoenholt John Schott Steve Schrameyer _ Dave Schucker _ Mary Schuler Gary Schulte Linda Schulte Stephen Schutte Tim Sciortino: Patty Scognamiglio Bernidene Serber Jane Shackieston Sue Shadrach _ Monica Shannon Rick Sheid Scott Shepard Mike Shipley Mark Shwartz Mark Sieving Underclass 161 Nan Signorello Cindy Siman jim Simand| Lori Simon Sandra Simpkins Maureen Simpson Tracey Simpson LL Donna Simshauser =—«s-10_— S : 7 - .

The biggest one, however, was how they spent their weekends. For some reason, every- one’s mind ran on the same track. Here are some of the most common types of weekend activities. — If a student wasn't having a party, he was going to one. — If he wasn't already at McDon- alds, that’s where he was headed. — If he wasn't driving his car around, he was with someone else who was. — If he wasn't taking a girl to the movie or drive-in, he was bringing her home from one. — If he hadn't forgotten about his homework yet, it was because he did not bring it home in the first place. — If he wasn't working, he was get- ting ready to go to work. — If he wasn't attending a sports event, it was because he was playing in It The list isn't meant as a joke either. Every MN student asked, was going to be doing at least one of those things over the weekend. So the next time a weekend comes up and there is abso- lutely nothing to do, just do one or a combination of the things on this list. That ought to keep you occupied for a while. ger oul fer ickler Underclass 163 Ce John Tebeau Lynn Teeter Bill Temple Holliam Terrence Kevin Thies Paul Thomas Wendy Thomas Alan Thompson Chris Tompson Judy Thompson Mickey Thompson Sue Thompson Jackie Thornburgh Matt Tieber Eric Topp lose Ricardo Jorries Cardine Tracy Karen Trammell Sharon Trammell Stanley Trans Richard Tribeuit Cal Tricamo Terry Trueb Connie Tucker Hellen Turnbull _ Nikita Turner Toni [willman john Uhle Lisa Ulrich Jacquelin Underwood Kris Urban Lisa Urban Carol Usai John Uachalek Ava Valentine © Diane Valiant Ron Vance Bul Vancil Traci Vanderorilf Gina Van Leuven Jelf Vankirk Shelley Vavra Chuck Venable Sue Venturella Debbie Viereqqg Dean Vitale David Yon Derau Tracy Wachter Diane Wahle John Walch Sue Waldron Sue Walker Angela Wallace Lee Waller Maureen Walsh Grant Walters Greg Walters Leah Walther Mike Walton Sue Walukonis Charles Ward Bob Wardlaw Mary Sue Warren Ursula Waterwiese 164 Underclass RU ALTAR HH, 365 days till iels .¢mn Oi ebalsineetels As usual, MN students were a lively group during Christmas break. Our stars could be seen shining at hockey games, family celebrations, festive par- ties, and even in far-away places like Mexico where Ann Scherbring vaca- tioned in the sun. For the most part, McCluer North- erners enjoyed their time off simply by staying up late--and, of course, enjoy- ing the luxury of sleeping late. Junior Maureen Simpson commented, ‘‘Extra rest and the absolute laziness was really appreciated. When we're in school, anything like that is unthinkable!” What would Christmas be without Lisa Watkins 10 | Maria Watkins 10 _Saphrunia Webb 1] Chris Weber 10 Chris Weber 1] Joe Weber 10 _ Beth Webster 10 _ Scott Wedig 10 _ Robin Weeks the old standards like Bing Crosby crooning ‘I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas’’? And there was the frantic last minute shopping for Uncle Charlie. Many teenagers looked forward to the tlood of movies released during the Christmas season. This year movie lovers were swamped with such flicks as ‘The Jazz Singer,’’ “Seems Like Old Times,’ ‘Popeye,’ and “‘Stir Crazy.” As far as a white Christmas was con- cerned, ours came in time for Christ- mas Eve, but the ground cover melted before people could get in any good sledding, or real snow ball fighting. A touchy subject during the holiday season was munching and its unfortu- nate consequences. This year it was the same old problem of losing weight for the holidays, then gaining it back after the drumstick and dressing, and then trantically trying to lose it again before the big New Year's Eve bash. Sooner or later, it had to happen. The dread word rose its ugly head again, ‘Homework?’ The general re- action from students regarding ques- tions from parents about homework was a blank stare. And it wasn't until Sunday night, January 4, that most stu- dents began pulling books out from un- der beds and dusting them off. Unfortunately, January 5 came too soon --even after two weeks oft, it was still too soon. Remarks like, We need another sixteen days off’ could be heard as students and faculty stumbled into that first hour class at 7:45 Monday morning. And it wasn't long before the count- down began all over again: It’s only 361 days ‘til Christmas; 360 days..... resi eR Underclass 165 Cindy Wegner Doreen Welch Charmin Wentz Melris West Regina West Erik Weuelling dim White Tim Whited © Vernon Whitlock _ ‘Rick Whitmore Mark Wierhake Virginia Wierhake Kevin Wiesler _ Joe Wigton Lynne Wilcox Kathy Wilds.

Stu- dents headed for the concourse, the- atre, Probe office, Student Center, band room, smoking area, or some oth- er niche in the school where they felt at home, a place that would soon come alive with their friends. Often students were associated with certain social groups around school just by their hangout areas. Names such as Thespians, jocks, Probites, Pommies-- these were labels which described so- cial groups. Dexter Schraer, Probe Sponsor, commented, ‘Students find social groups and have their own area because they are seeking identity. There is a certain importance to feeling students tind hangouts that you belong somewhere in a school of North's size.” Senior Molly Whitmore suggested, The band room is just a kind of meet- ing place. It's boring to walk around in the morning. It's a place to complain to your friends about being tired and oth- er things.’ Karol Richter, Junior, doesn't really like the idea of being labeled according to where she hangs out. “I don't go to one place in the morning. I visit lots of places. | have friends in lots of different areas in the school. The sea of gray and blue filling up many of the booths and bunching around the tables identified the con- course as a popular hangout with the so-called jock crowd. Cheerleaders, eel Pom-Pon girls, and athletes congregat- ed there both before and after school. “The concourse is just a convenient place to meet,’’ said Laura Bathe, Sophomore. ‘‘And kids know the jock crowd hangs out there, so they keep coming back.” Mr. Proffitt's office in the Student Center is popular with students who have no formal identification with any organization or group. “It's a friendly place to be,”’ said Anniece Jamison, Ju- nior. “The people are nice and Mr. Proffitt is great to talk to and joke around with.” Whatever crowd a student wanted to hang with, North probably had the spot to hang out. Underclass 167 168 School Board School Board Works For Us ‘TI can't believe we're not off school today! Hazelwood's off, why aren't we? “Who decides whether we are off or not anyhow?” The answer to these questions can be cleared up in one easy explanation. At 4:15 A.M., on the morning of the snow, six staff people went out in four-wheel drive pick-ups and check the road conditions. After they made a check they called Mr. Henry Prokop, Assistant Superinten- dent for Secondary Education, and he then called Dr. Warren Brown, Super- intendent for the Ferguson-Florissant School District. If the conditions were too bad, Dr. Brown would tell Mr. Pro- kop to call off schools and he would immediately call seven major radio sta- tions so that the announcement could be made. Take into account that this all occured before 6:00 A.M. The “board” and the superinten- dent? Every student heard these omi- nous words many times, but few prob- ably knew exactly what they were. The Board of Education was a group of dedicated men and women who gave their time to “run” the school dis- trict. The Board made all of the policies for the district and had the final word on all school matters. Last year’s School Board President was Joseph Wells. Dr. Warren Brown was the Superin- tendent. He headed the districtwide administration and was the “‘boss”’ of all principals and all of the assistant super- intendents. The board and district administration was responsible for many of the deci- sions which sometimes perplexed and irritated students. Henry E.

Teachers: Loyal Sponsors “I guess I like my job because they're such an energetic, well-motivat- ed, mature group of kids,’ Maisie Keeser beamed as she spoke of her sponsorship the Senior Committee. She seemed to reflect the energy, coupled with the seriousness of pur- pose, which made the Senior Commit- tee work so well. ‘‘Our main task, plan- ning graduation, is exciting because this has been everyone's goal for the past twelve years. Getting through the ceremony and getting done with what has to be done is a big responsibility, but it is fun at the same time,’ Mrs. Keeser commented. “I feel a sense of accomplishment when the last gra- duate walks across the stage and re- ceives his diploma,” she finished. Billie Teneau, Sponsor of the Thespi- ans, felt a sense of pride in her active, innovative group. ‘The Thespians are very special,’ she said, ‘because a Thespian troupe is essential to an active theatre program. They're a fine group to work with.” And work it did! From fund raising Barb Bullock, Business Liz Busselman, Art Carol Calloni, Communications Jeanette Campa, Secretary Dave Carpenter, Social Studies Randy Carter, Drivers Education activities to twice-yearly initiations, Thespians was an active group. Ac- cording to Mrs. Teneau the high point of each year came in the summer. ''We attend the International Thespian Con- ference at Ball State University in Mun- sie, Indiana. Both for me and the stu- dents this is an exciting trip. We usually take a one act play to perform, and we get to see the work of Thespians from across the country.” Marcella Simshauser, a senior Thes- pian, said, ‘Mrs. Teneau’s energy and enthusiasm makes the group what it is.”’ ‘I'm a genuine RAH-RAH!” Sharon Ryan boasted. “I like to be involved with the on and off school hours.” As the Homecoming Sponsor, Mrs. Ryan was also in charge of Homecom- ing Review and the Queen nomina- tions. Mrs. Ryan was also the sponsor of the Dance Club and has done all the choreography for the musicals at North for the past 8 years. To Mrs. Ryan school was more than a 9-5 job, it was a way of life. During dance class, Sharon Ryan teaches her students a new dance. Thespians find the best advice comes from their sponsor Billie Teneau. Now you've got it. Now let's do it once more.” Thespian sponsor, Billie Teneau, also teaches act- ing as a Class. Standing back and admiring, Sharon Ryan watches as her creations perform.

The first time he did that, my mother thought it was attacking me, and she screamed. Strangely enough, Rocky was a to- bacco addict. He'd hide in the draper- ies, waiting for an unsuspecting smoker to enter the room. Then he’d swoop down, raid his shirtpocket pack, and dash off with his trophy.

During Metal Machines class, Roch La- Bruyere works on his project with the drill press. At MN, academics was another area that stood out. There were courses in First Aid and 3-D Design. If foreign language was your main field of inter- est, there was Latin, German, French, and Spanish. The Science Department offered courses from Field Biology to Physics. If you were a math wiz, Calcu- lus, Computers, and Math CPU might have been on your schedule. English offered Humor in Literature, Mass Me- dia, Essay, Advanced Composition, and many more. If you were having trouble in a class, the Title VII aids were there to help. Day Care, Commons, Show Choir, Dixieland Band, Frontier America, Presidency, Literature Semi- nar, Jewlery — the list goes on and on. North even had programs where stu- dents only attended school for half the day. These included Dual Enrollment, Community Outreach, and Communi- ty Learning. For those rare students who found none of these classes satisfy- ing, there were individualized courses called CPU's. At MN, with almost 300 course offerings, it was almost impossi- ble for a student to complain about not being able to find a course to fit his needs. yr Academics Division 197 Science is very versatile The Science Department reported another successful year with over 60% of the student body enrolling in a sci- ence course. This didn't sound as im- pressive as the over 100% participation in the Communications and Social Studies departments, but when one consider that those two require three credits to graduate, and science only one, it was just as impressive. McCluer North had a large science department with 28 different courses offered in the physical and natural sci- ences. Included were classes such as Perplexed students like Wendy Allen know that they can count on teachers like Ms. Pope to explain the assignments. In this case it was a genetics problem. Working on a chemistry experiment, Dave Knickmeyer, Sandy Grace, and Jeff Hutsler know they must be careful to get the proper result. 198 Science Chemistry where one learned about atoms and ions, Field Biology where one learned about nature, and Astron- omy in which the solar system and oth- er steller subjects were taught. One could have learned how the land was formed in Geology, or why the weather was the way it was in St. Louis in the Nature of the Atmosphere class. “McCluer North had last year, and no doubt will continue to have one of the biggest and best science depart- ments in Missouri,’ according to Kathy Dombrink, chemistry teacher. STAND OUT STR ‘Regina Thornburgh stands out in my class because she is very interested and works hard at field biology,” said Vern LeClaire. ‘‘She’s the kind of student who understands the class and helps me and the other students in Field Biol- ogy.’ Mr. LeClaire commented that Gina had the ability to have a very successful career in a scientific field. Regina had sev- eral field related collections, and she worked on a track project to be shown in the natural science museum at Little Creek. Outdoor biology popular “IT like to make my class more than just field biology,’’ said Vern LeClaire “I teach all sorts of outdoor related sub- jects.’’ For example, he taught outdoor survival as one of his units. Also, the students learned how to identify wild edible plants, and how to use a map and compass. A typical day in late autumn started out with the students boarding a school bus at 7:45 AM for a 15 minute ride to Little Creek Wildlife Area on Dunn Road. Then they went to their wildlife classroom to get their assignments for the day and change into their work Field Biology offers you a wide variety of ex- periences in the great outdoors. In Animal Behavior, Kelly Klatch and Chris Hayes test their sense of taste. clothes. One group started a small campfire in the Indian lodge. Another group collected and broke brush for a winter woodpile. Some people fed the animals in the small barn. And yet an- other group was setting up traps to catch small live animals. There was also a group in the kitchen cooking wild plants. At 9:30 AM, the class -boarded the bus and rode back to McCluer North. Jim Maxwell said, “I like the class because I've learned so much about nature, and with Mr. LeClaire teaching it, Field Biology is a lot of fun.” 202 Math Frustrations in math class Did you ever feel like beating your head against a brick wall? If you were a math student this year you're answer was undoubtedly, “YES!”’ Regardless of the type of math class they were in, frustration was a common denominator for students. And many times during the career of a math stu- dent it was the smallest mistake which caused the biggest problems. Unfortunately, students usually real- ized their mistakes when they received their graded tests. A simple sign error halfway through the problem caused the final answer to be wrong, minus 10 points. What frustration! ‘When the answer to a proof was at the top of the test, I actually wrote a different answer on my problem.” said George Lohmann. ‘‘What a stupid mis- take!” “Help!” Thats what Mrs. “G is here for. Crystal Johnson takes advantage of her willingness to do just that! Although studying during commons is not the most enjoyable thing to do, George Lohmann works hard to complete his geometry homework. “The teachers and their interest in kids!’ exclaimed Department Chair- man Paul Schroeder without a mo- ments hesitation when describing what made the math department stand out and work. As in any department, there were frustrations among students and teach- ers, but North’s math department was geared to help the students. Marlene Gustafson was this years ever-available math tutor. With her schedule posted in all math rooms her help was not far away. McCluer North math teachers, ac- STAND OUT STyxR This is the case with MN senior Bettina Hoetfner.

The slides were collected by Mrs. Eschen and Carole Mulliken, also a Mass Media teacher. The huge collec- tion was divided into different group- ings, each one focusing on a particular advertising propaganda. “The whole collection shows how values reflect and are shaped by advertising,” Mrs. Es- chen explained. One group of slides illustrated how advertisers perpetuate different de- ‘Slide show suprising rogatory images of women in ads. An- other group of slides showed how some ads use fear to stimulate a person to buy a product. One of the most inter- esting groups of slides illustrated how “imbeds’ and ‘‘subliminals’ — mes- sages which only our subconscious re- ceive — convince us of a product's superiority. Mrs. Eschen explained, “Liquor ads, often have words spelled out in ice cubes in a glass. Sometimes just in the background of certain ads, different words and pictures can be perceived by our subconscious mind. ” When the ad was projected on a screen as a slide, even our conscious mind could see these hidden messages.

Dec. 7: The Christmas Vespers were about to begin, but not many peo- ple realized how much time had gone into the Vespers. Preparations started nearly four months earlier. Aug. 28: That's when it all started. For four months,the choirs had been practicing and perfecting songs. Even when Mr. Jones was absent, Choir III] and IV worked just as hard. With the help of Student Director Holly Frede and Pianist Chuck Larken, Choir IV worked hard. As the Christmas Vespers ap- proached, you could have walked by the choir room and seen the entire choir walking around in circles trying to memorize the Candlelight Proces- sional while being careful not to step on the heels of the person in front of him. Program Chairman Monica May and Linda Kueckler worked hard on layouts of the gym and decorations.

The last minute preparations began. The choirs walked through the Processional seemingly endless times, perfecting turns and steps. Sun. 3:00 pm: All choirs members were arriving. Familiar phrases such as ‘Who has my robe?” and ‘Wait my batteries have gone out! I can't find a candle that works! ’ were heard about the hustling and bustling room. 3:00 pm: Parents, Grandparents, students, and friends began arriving; as they entered the Concourse they were greeted with the carols of the Madri- gals. Inside the gym a small band played ‘Do you hear what I hear?” Meanwhile back in the choir room the choirs did some warm-ups. 4:00 pm: Lights in the gym went off, the audience became silent, an or- gan began playing. The Processional started. ““O Come All Ye Faithful.” It had finally arrived, the goal that was prepared for since day one of school.

John likes Home Ec and has taken many .Of the classes. He is a veteran of the Home Econom- ics Department. Burnt eggs, humming sewing ma- chines, children’s laughter, and a beautifully set table were a few of the sights, sounds, and smells in the Home Economics Department. There was more to Home Ec than just cooking an sewing. Other courses were offered such as Teen and Family, Marriage, and Child Developement. The Home Ec Department prepared the students for future life, something no other course did. These courses taught the students that home life is not as easy as it seems.

As far back as she could remem- ber, Diana has wanted to be an artist and as a Senior this year Diana was looking foward to studying for a career in Commerical Art. Her dream is to become known for her work. Some of Diana's outstanding work was dis- played in this years Senior Art Portfolio. Creativity comes naturally For those of you who wanted a class that offered a variety of creative things to do, maybe the art department could have helped. The art department of- fered classes for many different types of interests. Art classes also offered stu- dents a chance to display their work. The Senior Art Portfolio and Fine Art Festival were two ways in which stu- dents could display their work. The Senior Art Portfolio was an annual dis- play of art work done by Seniors. The District Fine Arts Festival was a display of artwork held here at McCluer North every couple of years. College representatives and speak- ers were frequently seen in the art de- partment. Speakers informed students on the availability of jobs in the art fields. Most of the classes offered by the Art Department were the same ones of- fered since the school opened. Some classes were added in past years be- cause of student interest. The jewelry class was one of these. Art classes were a good choice for students wanting variety and creativity. Getting proportions and colors right are just a few important things Joe Bernhard has to worry about while painting. Making sure all the lines are perfect is a major worry for Anthony Williams as he traces a draw- ing. MN art views broadened When someone said “‘art’’ didn't you usually think of paintings, drawings and sculptures? During the 1980-81 school year the Art Department tried to change that way of thinking. The Dept. tried to get students to realize that visu- al art is not the only form of art. Every couple of years the Art Dept. holds a District Fine Arts Festival. This Festival includes exhibits from students from elementary schools all the way through high-school. The exhibits in- cluded many different types of art such as weavings jewelry, sculptures, paint- ings, drawings, prints, etc. The art de- partment this past year tried to incorpo- rate the idea that there are many more forms of art than just visual. Music, films, dramatic readings, dance interpretations, plays and skits were all types of art in past years were not included in the Fine Arts Festival. The 1980-81 District Fine Arts Festival tried to change that. The Art Dept. felt that these other forms of art were just as important for students to know about as the visual forms. Not only did the Festi- val include the paintings, sculptures, drawings and such, it also included plays, skits, dancing, dramatic readings and films. Another new aspect to the District Fine Arts Festival was students demon- strating different techniques that are used in art classes. Demonstrations had never before been used with the Festi- val. Through the combined efforts of the District Fine Arts Festival and the Art Department, Mr. Carl Yochum, head of McCluer North's Art Department hopes that more students are begin- ning to realize that many different forms of art. ere VOule On greet an t Wed ae Temme quickly quiz each other.

And what makes students want to take gym as an elective course instead of as a required course? What do we have that other P.E. departments don't? A: Tennis courts and an excel- lent weight room. ©: Don't all schools have tennis courts and a weight room? A: Yes, but North has a massive number of resur- faced courts, twelve to be exact. And according to Mr. Waldo, “The weight room at North is an excellent facility, as good as any other around.” But tennis is only good when the weather's com- fortable and the weight room seems to be dominated by the male of the spe- cies. OQ: So what does the P.E. department have to offer when the weather's bad? And what does it offer especially for the female of the species? A: Swimming and dancing. At the Civic Center, (just a short walk in two feet of snow), a variety of swimming courses are of- fered, while back at North a special dancing studio allows students to do a little ‘‘boogie’’ between the hustle-bus- tle of chemistry, physics, and algebra. By offering a variety of classes all year round, MN's P.E. department was truly a standout, and it was easy to see why it remained popular with the stu- dents.

Sound far-fetched? This could very well be true because John has partici- pated in the life time sports program at North. What were life time sports? “Sports which allowed the student to continue playing even though school's out, or they graduated,”’ said Pete Wal- do. ‘‘We had such a demand for a life time sports class that we added a new course, 726 Life Time Sports,’’ he con- tinued. So in 1980, the P.E. Department was split up: into two programs, Life Time Sports and team sports. Also in 1980, the women spoke out against the men. They really tried to compete with the guys. Sherry Boehm said, ‘One of the big problems faced by girls is that the guys tend to lump us all in one catagory. They seem to feel that all girls do not want to participate, when actually it may only be one or two. The rest may just be too shy to tell the boys they want to play.” Day Care and Title VII are both innovative programs “Everything!’’ four-year-old Rita Long said, smiling broadly, when asked what she liked about Day Care. “Everything! She's invaluable!” Joan Avioli, English Department Chairman, exclaimed while describing what Title VII Aid Peggy Rathert did for the Eng- lish Department. Ringing endorsements like these were common for two of North's most innovative programs, Day Care and Ti- tle VIL.

A nur- sery school designed to give North stu- dents practical experience using par- enting skills, Day Care was an eye- opener for many students who worked as an aid for a quarter. “For the first time,’’ explained Mari- anne Fogarty, ‘many teenagers realize that taking care of little kids is not all fun and games.” Student aids not only cared for the kids by helping with feed- 218 Day Care And Title VII provide a ing, shoe-tying, and nap-taking, but they were responsible for conducting many learning activities and games.

A government program available to districts who underwent a court-ordered desegregation, Title VII offered a variety of services to students. “We give each student an opportunity to reach his potential,’ commented Lead Teacher Gary Wheeler. ‘We tutorial service which reaches both under-achievers and ad- vanced students.” Marlene Gustafson, a Title VII teach- er, was available to help students one- on-one with a variety of math difficul- ties. Students sought out Miss Rathert for help with writing problems, while Mr. Wheeler worked in PE classes helping students sharpen communica- tion skills and fostering interaction be- tween minority and non-minority stu- dents. “With our help, no student was al- lowed to flounder,’ Miss Rathert said. To plan tutoring sessions, Title VII staffers meet regularly with Lead Teacher Gary Wheel- er. During Day Care play time, Jill Dammer helps Jennifer Gaebolein get into the swing of things.

Even a high schooler like Bill Mykins is no competition for ace-player Cari Benz in a rousing game of teddy bear bingo in Day Care. STAND OUT STR Attitude, initiative, warmth — all com- bined to make Sarah Birkhead, Senior, stand out in the Day Care Center. Sarah was always ready with the loving smile, the gentle pat on the head, the encouraging word to her young charges. ‘She was fantastic!’’ said Mrs. Fogarty. ‘Sarah had a super attitude and she was always willing to give. She offered assistance to youngsters who needed shoes tied and calmed active kids into napping. Whatever she did, Sarah did it with a glow which made her shine in North's Day Care Center. Day Care And Title VII 219 STAND OUT STR ‘Excellent!’’; ‘Hard working.”’; “A big help!'’ These are only a few of the an- swers Mr. Dave Kempa, Industrial Arts Instructor, gave when asked why he thought Senior Randy Clyde stood out in Industrial Arts. Randy used the ex- perience he received to assist the stu- dents and even faculty in everyday projects. ‘He always manages to be a tremendous help in making a new part for a machine or do- ing work to start new projects,” added Mr. Kempa. Learning to operate various machines is some- thing students like Rich Gun have to do in Metal working. “Almost through,” says Bob Kern to himself as he rushes to finish his project.

The reasons for B-R-R-R-R-R-R taking the course varied from insur- ZONK. ance discounts to lack of experience in the driving situation. But, both students and faculty alike agreed on one thing - that the class was still a valuable one. Although these appeared to be sounds from some kind of cartoon or perhaps a Steve Martin special, they were actually just a few of the noises that came from the basement of McCluer North this year. They came from two of MN’s most popular Practi- cal Arts classes, Driver’s Ed and Indus- trial Arts. Driver's Ed was still a popular choice with the students even though the pro- gram had been changed somewhat this 220 Drivers Ed. And Industrial Arts Driver's Ed Instructor Mr. Randy Carter said, ‘‘the kids get more out of simulation since the mandatory driving has been cut.’’ Also Mr. Carter felt that the course attracted a much better crowd because of this. ‘'] still get a lot of experience | wouldn't get if I just had my dad teach me” is how Maureen Simpson viewed the situation. Screech!! Off go 4 of MN students after school to get some road experience. After a hard day at school, Scott Kretzer tries to keep his mind on the road. She hit a little girl on a tricycle, knocked over a telephone pole, dashed through four red lights, and went 35 mph over the speed limit! Why wasn't this young lady arrested or even ticketed? Because all of this happened in a Driver's Ed simulator in the base- ment of McCluer North. MN students encountered many dif- ferent situations in DE simulators and on the road. Near misses on the road and faulty simulators were only 2 exam- ples. Simulators often tended to miscal- Bizzare incidents in Drivers Ed. culate the number of mistakes a student made, and this proved to be extremely aggravating. Jim Cheney said, “My biggest scare was when a _ student backed up without looking, toward a steep drop-off! I thought we were all gonners.”’ Another student who went through many bizzare situations was Sopho- more, Paula Burns. “I was in a simula- tor at a stop sign, with my foot on the brake, and the speedometer registered 30 mph. - Drivers Ed. and Industrial Arts 221 Students active in careers ‘What am I going to do?” This was a question that most stu- dents asked themselves. Some students already had their career choices in mind and were actively involved in them. These were the students who participated in the Vocational Educa- tion, Community Outreach, and Com- munity Learning Programs. Helping students deal with job inter- views, find jobs, and perform well in a job situation were the primary func- tions of the Vocational Education pro- gram. There was another side to the Voc. Ed program and this was the em- phasis on learning about ones self. Mrs. Ruth Tolson said, ‘From this ex- perience | hope the students will learn more about themselves and by learn- ing about themselves they will make better career choices. ’ The Community Learning Program enabled students to leave school and recieve training from a company or an In the C.O.P. program, Roxanne Pace helps children in Mrs. Kircher’s class at Mark Twain elementary school.

These sponsors ranged from the Black Jack Fire Dept. to Dr. Raymond Bauer. C.L.P. students were required to keep daily journals and spend one day a week in a class seminar. A C.L.P. is the most exciting way to top off a high school education, ” said Mr. Joe Naumann, one of the CLP. sponsors. Students in the Community Out- reach Program were allowed to leave school and act as aids in elementary schools, day care centers, or a special school for the handicapped. Miss Mari- lyn Edds, the ©.OF sponsor, ex plained that this program let students know that they have something valu- able to offer to their community. Programs like these were important to the ‘Stand Out”’ quality of MN’s cur- riculum. They helped develop individ- uality and guided students along their career paths. STAND OUT STy+R Attitude! This was the quality that most of Jose Santacruz’s employers really liked best about him. Jose really stood out in the Voc. Ed. program because of his attitude toward his work. As part of the Voc. Ed. program he has been em- ployed by a number of local restaurants and even helped remodel the kitchen and dining room of the Ruiz Mexican Restaurant. Surpris- ingly enough he also finds time for a special Mexican Dance group called the Ruiz- Folklorico Group. Jose would like to open a restaurant of his own. Special programs relate In the late afternoon when most MN students were home doing homework, relaxing watching T.V., or sleeping, Other students like Don Burns, Craig Schubert, or Tracy Dabbs were out working or applying for jobs. Don Burns, senior in the Voc. Ed. program, worked making P.C. boards .forUnion Electric. Don said that he went to work everyday after school un- till 5:30. Don said, “Voc. Ed. is alot of fun. You do a variety of things in class and its not real boring. It's easy to relate to!” Employment Occupations was a Lo Three hours of Tracy Dabbs’ day are spent assisting Dr. Raymond Bauer for her C.L.P. The Black Jack Fire Dept. sponsors Senior .

Tracy Dabbs spent three hours a day working for Dr. Raymond Bauer D.D.S. ‘| even get to assist him when he works on a few of the Patients!’’ Tracy said excitedly about her C.L.P. “It’s really a great program. There were alot of different options for students who wanted a change of pace in their school day. All it took was a little time and a desire to participate. Vocational Ed., C.L.P., C.O.P. 223 “MO-VIEW-what's that?”’ and “I’ve never heard of it,’’ were a few of the responses by students at McCluer North. Many students didn't know what or where MO-VIEW or CVCN were. For the most part, they were machines in the advisement center that helped students in deciding where to go to college or what career was right for them. CVCN was basically free advertising for colleges. It was a video-tape ma- chine that gave the student a feel of students get help from machines Deciding what to take second semester, Beth Baldas and advisor Dion Dion set up the best schedule. Counselor Mike Herring is always around to answer questions. To Jeff Nelson, Mike Herring is also a great advisor. what college campuses are really like. There are many different tapes, some of them from Ohio State, UCLA and the University of Kansas. MO-VIEW was a microfilm system which provided students with informa- tion about thousands of jobs. When a student put a microfilm card into the machine, he found out the educational requirements of the job; a thorough job description; salary projections for the job; and cites in Missouri for training and employment. a ee 224 Advisement DIALOGUES - someplace Bethany STAND OUT STYR ‘She cares about each individual,” ac- cording to Steve Stacy, Senior. And he wasn't alone — ‘‘cares’’ was a word that was used frequently to described why Dee Graham stood out as an advi- sor. ‘Everything you have questions about, she knows about,’ said Laura Robinson, Senior. ‘You know she cares. She’s really personable and makes you feel comfortable,’' Laura contin- ued. Dr. Gra- ham. certainly StOCd sOUls In advisees’ minds.

Six hours of P.E. is a little too much.” How did the advisement program (commons to the students) come about? The whole program of advisement was originated by Principal Bill Hampton. McCluer North was one of the first schools to the advisement program. “Today there are only a few schools which have an advisement program,” said Mike Herring. ‘We're a demon- Advisement: commons great place for quick information on colleges.

Many seniors find the bulletin board pillar a More than stration site which other school’s from all over the country hav e come and studied.’’ Hundreds of schools have modeled their advisement program after McCluer North's. Why do we have this advisement program? ‘‘With almost 2000 students at North it would be easy for students to get lost in the crowd and go through high school not knowing what to do with their lives after graduation or where to go,” said Mr. Herring. The advisement program allowed each student a chance to be personally known and helped with his future plans.

At this workshop, we made the plans for this year’s book, working long, hard hours because we wanted this book to be special ... to stand out in a crowd. We went with good ideas and came back with even better ones. Then in late August, we presented our plans to the rest of the staff. The staff began feverishly working and eventually fin- ished the book after five grueling dead- lines. The staff couldn't have done all of this without help, so we'd like to thank each of these very special people: Jim Combs and Doris Busch of Josten’'s American Yearbook Company in St. Louis who did their best to help and to answer our endless questions; Chris Jensen, of Josten’s Topeka, Kansas plant who put up with all of our difficult instructions and collect phone calls; Bruce Watterson, our workshop in- structor, whose All-American books and ideas helped our ideas; Westrich Studios, whose photographers trekked to North many times to take group pic- tures, team pictures and special assign- ments; and especially Dale Davis and Mike Thacker, our co-sponsors. There were many changes made in the book. The purpose of these changes was to make the book as spe- cial as the year 1980-81 was. We hope that each and everyone of you find something special in it. Acknowledgements 241 242 Closing standin OUT i McCluer North stood out in a crowd in as many ways as there were MN students. Here some stu- dents’ stand out memories: “A standout memory of mine is the homecoming parade when the judges announced the first place float, belong- ing to Pom-Poms. We worked all night long, and having a first place ribbon to show for it made it seem worth all the hard work.” Senior Tracy Dabbs Two things that stand out in my mind are the boy's basketball team’s one point victory over DeSmet High School and the new friendships with the won- derful senior cheerleaders.” Junior Kim Young ‘The sophomore football team’s season stands out to me because we were not supposed to be any good at all, but a 6- 4 record and 2nd place in the division is pretty impressive!” Sophomore Phil Ragusky “T believe the memory which stands out most in my mind from the 1981] school year would be the Outdoor Club fall float trip. It was loads of fun and packed with laughs. I’m sure it is an event I| will never forget.” Senior Nancy Duggan “This was my first year at McCluer North. I think that it is the best school | have ever attended. It has offered me so much and | wouldn't change it for the world.” Junior Kirk Lyons “The memory that stands out the most in my mind about this year was how aware | became about school pride and spirit.
