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

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.

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
