McCluer North is definitely a “'class acr’’ school but fo me it’s the people and all the unforgetable times here thar really made North special. Since sophomore year I've mer a lor of really fantastic feachers and lsids. Most of all I'll never forger making our homecoming float in the rain, going with the Pom Pons to Busch Stadium, McMac's for lunch, singing in the Mustang, two quar- fers of Comp., Caprain Incomplere, and Bre- kinridge. I’m really going to miss McCluer North and the great teachers who lef us seniors get by with murder. | wonder what they'll all do. without Us next year? Marls Ebling, Senior. My senior year has given me a lor of time to: thinks backs over the years, and fo think abour all the friends I’ve gorten fo know over the years. For me, people have made my highschool years something spe- cial to keep and remember. McCluer North is one of the top high schools. | think one. of fhe reasons thar it Is, is because of the people. People involved in running the school — teachers, student, volunteers, ev- eryone involved in any way with the school — they all make McCluer North and’ its atmosphere the special one thar if Is. Kathy Spitzner, Senior We thinks we would be lost withour tele- vision and Big. M burgers and blue jeans and automobiles. How little we somefimes know! We don’t often realize — or remember — how lost we would be withour prinf, withour the memories engraved there. Such, are the true marks of a@ day, a weels, a year. Those memories are the true task of a. yearbools staff. And thar task sometimes requires more than even imagination allows. For duty and dedication. beyond hope and expectation, an. award of the first order to. Doni —- and also to Janice and Debbie and Pam and Kathy and’ Sue and Linda and Jamie and Shelley and Chris, seniors all. To the rest, a challenge: can you do. as well? For “'A Class Act’ leaves a legacy, in print and in person. My. thanks: Dexrer Schraer, Sponsor. —— Note the glazed eyes and sinisrer tilt of the head. They could only be the symptoms of ... SPONSORI- TIS. (Not bad for the firsr year.) 240 Acknowledgements, Colofon Whar a Class! Whar an Act! 1981-82 was exhausting, exciting, and definitely reward- ing. My advisor, teachers, friends, and an act all on its own, the POLARIS, added to make my senior year special. So much has happened and been learned. My North memories included everything from the many tears shed to just as many, if nor more, laughs; from a smile and hug of a friend to the feeling of belonging and grow- ing as a person. North had something abour if — you just felr ir. Mr. Proffir, who found something good in everyone he met, Show Choir, Student Relations, and Mr. Schraer, a truly dedicated sponsor — thanks! Whar a Class! Whar an Act! Doni Driemeier, Senior. Standour Memories! Who can picls just one? For me, the thrill of MN came from creating the yearbooks that everyone would enjoy from the day he gor them until years later when he would pull them out fo look at the funny faces. 'll also remember things like ‘The Grear Escape”’ from the student parking lof ar 2:15, the first day of anew semester, the | graffiti on the bathroom walls, or thar feeling of happiness when someone you never mer says ‘hello’ fo you in the hall. Mostly, I'll remember the students © and teachers. Teachers who | liked and © the ones that didn’t like me. Friends who were there from the beginning and the many thar | made along fhe way.

The wonderful world of pictures and those who take them — thar’s what pho- fography is all abour. Nor always as easy, though, as Michael Landon would have us believe. A bit more fo most photography than aim. and shoot, no matter what the com- mercials say. Pictures don’t always occur just before due dares, don’t always turn out, don’t always please the phorographees. This. year’s photography staff thus de- serves, 1000 words of thanks. And one de- serves even more. Marls my words. Dale Davis, Sponsor.
