Senior Acts A look aft ‘senior year” So here it is — my senior year. | can't believe I've finally made it! | mean, just 13 short years ago Mom was getting me up to warch Romper Room and Captain Kanga- roo before | even had fo thinls abour gerting ready for school. And the days — they were so tough! Go in at 11:00, have Show and Tell, re- cess, nap time. 3:10 and the day's over! That sure was fun. Then the next thing | knew | was in Jr. High! We might have been the ‘little guys” again, but boy we sure were near! Changing classes, meefing new people — the days went by so quicls! Thar sure was fun. Sophomore year — back to the bottom again. I’m getting rather uh — upset here. So | moved info another new building — so what? Although | must admit it's a pretty classy place. Bur hey — there's only three more years, right? 1982. Light years away. Senior year is gonna ksicls! Right? Bur... now... it’s... here. Final- ly, after 13 long years, it’s finally here. ‘It’s 6:00! Rise and shine!’ sings the radio. “'Ir’s 7:30! Rise and shine!”” Oh great! The bus just left 15 minutes ago. It’s just like kindergarden all over again — Show the teacher your pass and Tell why you're late for the fourth day in a row. Commons everyday — | can get homework done then, right? Betrer yer I'l catch up on the sleep | lost doing home- work last night. Brrring! Oh no! Oversleor again! Will it never end? The same old grind day after day, Month after Month, YEAR AFTER YEAR — 13 of ‘em! Gradu- ation -- come and get me! College is gonna kicks, right? Janice Cox, senior North has gor if all McCluer North is a great high school be- cause it contains such a wide selection of courses to take. With such a large number of courses fo choose from (over 200 differ- enf courses each quarter), a student is able fo take courses he is interested in, choose the level of difficulty, and obrain an ex- tremely well-rounded education to help prepare for college and jobs. 104 Senior Acts First, at McCluer North, a student can take a course specifically suited to his interests. Whether it’s history or present-day politics, British-Lit., or how to write a research paper, chemistry or oceanography, computers or calculus, Spanish or Latin, Accounting or Shorthand, 2-D design or Advanced Sculp- ture Studio, Concert band or Show Choir, welding or power mechanics, child-devel- opment or clothing design, Driver's Educa- tion or Weight Training, McCluer North's gor it all. Next, a student can choose the difficulty of his courses. There are three types of courses: general (beginning courses), inter- mediate (medium difficulry), and ad- vanced, (more difficult courses which are included in the honors program.) A student is able to take any combination of these three types of courses. Lastly, because of such greaf opportuni- ties, MN students are able to obrain a well- rounded education to help prepare them for college and jobs. Experience with ma- chinery, labs, cars, animals, art media, lec- ures, and writing give students a great chance to learn. This exposure to so many different areas enables a student ro choose a career and prepare for if. McCluer North is a storehouse for knowl- edge because of its many opportunities ro learn about so many different areas of inter- ests, all provided by its vast course selection. Cathy Ritter, senior Faith in fhe individuals and GrOuos The ‘'neartest” thing abour McCluer North deals with the sense of freedom and. individ- uality one feels. The atmosphere ar North is very relaxed, which gives the sense of freedom. One may roam the halls, enjoy the campus our- doors, or socialize in the library or concourse during commons or any free time. Also, when one first enters North, one is intro- duced to several choices which also trans- lates into a sense of freedom. The students have the choice of their classes, choice of what fo do during their free time, and a wide choice of clubs and programs. The many programs offered at North let one express one’s individual talents whether it be art, sports, or music. For ex- ample, Probe is available for the exception- ally smart kids, Senior Art Portfolio for the extremely artistic students, and Pop Choir for the students with musical talenr. Nor to mention the regular programs such as sports, drama, band, and choir. McCluer North is not an average high school, but one which has faith in its students and allows them to be individual. Sandy Fehmel, senior We've come a long way! Seniors! We've come a long way! We've changed, made friends, and learned a lor. From adding 2+ 2=4 to Calculus, Geome- try, and Algebra, — more than we wanted even. Can you believe we've finally made it? We've been waiting (sometimes impatient- ly) for this year fo finally be over! Senioritis “to the max”, ACT's, SATs, mega admit slips, dragging up three flights of stairs (eight times a day), missing the bus one foo many times, Ms. Pope's Anatomy rests, college applications, learning to appre- cate our ‘‘dassy” school, pulling our hair over schedule conflicts and credit rallying — and becoming involved as the driving force thar kepr North alive and kicking during 1981-82; but now thar if is over the years flew by all too quickly. Was it only yesterday thar we were in Kindergarden with Mom walling us to ele- mentary school; and then to junior high, where we changed classes for the first time; and was it only yesterday that we learned the ropes of NORTH?” We were the awed sophomores and were ready for the last stretch of high school. But, now it's over, romping the halls as seniors, dominating the clubs, cheering at OUR infamous hockey games, worlsing all night on a sad buf ‘interesting’ homecom- ing float, complaining of 6:00 a.m. rude awakenings, and congregarting in the con- COUTse. The year we waited so much for was gone. Wait! We must have missed some- thing! It flew by too fast! North — it was grear! Doni Driemeier, senior
