Re Se gees fagsterr Besides acting in many of McCluer North's theater pro- ductions, Mike Ag- ens’ new was also student = director for “You're OW a A Good Man, Char- lie Brown.” His many acting performances included a scien- tist in the 1980 version of ‘‘Frankenstein”™ portraying a bobby in “See How They Run” and a professor in ‘The Mouse That Roared.”’ He was also the treasurer for North's Thespian chaprer. “'Milse is a very versatile actor, so he has been able to por- tray a variety of roles. This year’s production of “Christmas Carol’ has the part of “Scrooge” which is very difficulr, bur he is able fo handle it,” according to Mrs. Schindewolf.

One sure way of a good fund raiser is fo have a tasting party! Kevin Mullen, Anne Borch, Mike Stevens, Anne Campbell, and Mrs. Billie Teneau enjoy!. Many stages, many nations Two very “classy” and different clubs in the ‘class act’’ this year at McCluer North were Thespians and Interact. Thespians, a chaprer of the International Thespians, worked to improve theater here af North. By raising money through such events as selling candy and “‘goulish greer- ings,”’ they assisted in providing transporta- tion to the international conference. This was held af the Ball State University in Mun- cie, Indiana. Several of North's members also attended and competed for one of several $500 scholarships. And, if any of you saw a student wear- ing a weird costume, that’s because furure members — when initiated — were re- quired to “dress” for a day in school. “Memorable and meaningful’’ is how Mrs. Billie Teneau, sponsor, described Thespians. 70 Thespians And Inreract “International understanding’ is the theme for Interact, another club here af North. One of their main activities was to sponsor several foreign exchange pro- grams. Interact is the high school program for the International Rotary, and through their combined efforts, they were able to exchange several students befween here and New Zealand or Mexico. Many of you probably went to fhe Reverse Dance or the talent show, both of which Interact spon- sored. These were the primary fund raisers fo support the exchange program. Mrs. Barry, one of the sponsors, explained that, “Luanne Carlon went to New Zealand over the summer of 1981. Another student, Cindy Haefner, stayed the entire 1980 and 1981 school year in Fresnillo, Mexico.” “Oh, Mrs. Schindewolf! When is rehearsal for the play?’”’ Co-Sponsor Mrs. Connie Schindewolf is always ready to answer thar one! After an Interact meeting, small groups linger fo ais- cuss their projects.

72 Yearbook After developing a roll of film, Kent Koester checks his negative for bad pictures. Stuck with problems, Debbie Dixon asks co-editors Doni Driemeier and Kathy Spitzner for help on her copy. After developing her negatives, Alicia Geraci pre- pares fo print pictures. Good-humored, versatile, — hardworls- ing. These were just a few of the oufstand- ing qualities possessed, by Senior Jared Neisler. Jared came to North from Riverview : Gardens his junior year and became a member of both the Polaris and Star Gazer staffs second semester of that year. ‘Being on the staff really helped me feel more at home af North,” he stated. Jared had to do double time to ger his jobs done, bur he still did them well. He was a great asset to the 1981-82 Polaris staff. Surely he will be a suc- cess in wharever he does.
