246 Closing time. I'll never forget my sophomore birth- day from the soccer feam and all the crazy times we had. As a senior, | leave probably the most important years of my life. Good- bye. Debbie Dixon, Senior. The reason | lise McCluer North is because it is a great opportunity to talk and have fun with your friends. McCluer North, | thinis, has a lot more freedom than other schools do, and in that respect so does the yearbook staff. This year's Yearbook staff got off fo a slow start, but of course we pulled bacls in front of the rest because we're the best! Brian Kuhiman, Junior. “A Class Aet” The past three years af McCluer North to me have been fantastic. One reason Is | get along with most of the teachers and sfu- dents that go here, which helps malse being a student here a lor easier. Secondly, | like having commons and being able to choose my own classes, and having quarter and semester classes make if a variety rather than having year round classes and getting bored. Personally, | don’t like having the same routine every day for a year. And in conclusion, | wouldn't trade being a MN student for all the money in the world. | just love it here! Deanna McCormack, Senior. Everyone always thinlss thar her class is the best; this is certainly true for the class of ‘82. Next year will be nothing compared to this year. Thanks for the good times; we'll miss ‘ya a lot, We wish you good luc in all you do. Success will be yours with no doubt in our minds. We love ya, we'll miss ya, good luck 82 Mindy Biberdorf, Junior. | think McCluer North is a great school. Commons gives you a breals which we all enjoy. Our school is the most lenient school of all the high schools around. It’s also one of the best looking schools around; it’s mod- ern! A lot of the teachers are really good also. Mr. Luetie doesn't just reach band, for example; he helos students like me, with braces, and sympathizes with them when they're having problems playing. Even when this year's yearbook staff started off on the wrong foot, Mr. Davis kepr his cool and helped us along until we got straight- ened out. Greg Ploudre, Junior. The most memorable part of my first year at McCluer North was all the different people | have met and come to know. Darla Spitzner, Sophomore. My past three years at North have been grear, and most of all I'll remember being in “The Mouse thar Roared,’” and the fun times | had with my friends. Shelley Vavra, Senior.

Af most schools you do nof have a grear deal of freedom. You have many restric- tions in where you can go berween classes, the variety of classes you can take, efc. Bur here af North, you have a lor of freedom all the way around. The freedom here really helps the atmosphere in the classroom. It’s so much more easy going here than what an average school would be. Even though there are some people who take advan- ’ tage of this, | hope thar the administration will continue the policies here so we all can enjoy whar makes North so much better. Chris Mattingly, Senior. McCluer North has made my high school years some of the best in my life. There are so many things to do with clubs, sports, and
