Religion: People make fhe olfference Religions are different because people are different. To some, religion may have meant no more than having fo go to church because their parents made them. But fo others, religion went deeper. Senior Sue Hooren commented, ''When | go to church | feel real good inside and it makes me appreciate life to its fullesr!’’ Outside school, students were involved with their own religion in their own ways. Senior Beth Tioper replied, ‘'I’m involved in the CYC youth group. | have fun and art the same time grow mentally and spiritually.“ For some students, though, the lack of knowledge confused them. Senior Lisa Sre- phens responded, ‘| don’t understand reii- gion but | wish | did! | feel if could be a viral part of my life.” Bur where could North students go to share their feelings abour their faith and religion? The Fellowshio of Christian Athletes was such a place. Mr. Joe Naumann, the sponsor of the group, was very enthusiastic about getting fogether. It lers those people know they're nor alone — thar other students share in their faith in Christ, even though they may practice it differently.’ The group mef twice @ month and each morning before school for a prayer. “It helped them to start their days with a pleasant feeling, ’’ said Mr. Nau- mann. Senior Keith Mullins commented, ‘' wil always have faith in myself and in God, so | believe God will be in my life forever.” Together with Joe Naumann, Gregg Lesley, Beth Little, and Lillian Taylor listen to others’ Christian views. serene eer ee, ‘I turned fo “We believe thar accepting Jesus Christ Christ about a year ago, when | was going through a bad point in my life.

ONL ip v cae oy pera a a Bag CE, Ww UY or ‘I Pd poe VW Y ae) ie OE ae 7 oe Class Aet” o With Cast STARS Of all the ingredients necessary for the performance of a “Class Act,”’ there is only one thar can derermine its success: the peo- ple involved. McCluer North’s cast of stars made the 1981-82 school year the best pro- duction ever. Cooks, custodians, security guards, volunteers, students, principals and teachers — without these people McCluer North would have been nothing. In a sense the 1981-82 school year was a great perfor- mance and the cast of stars played their roles to the hillf. Teachers can usually find the rime to help or jusr rails to a student.

Tennis is a very active sport that, for Jane Drysdale, is also very intense. Listening attentively and offering his suggestions are a couple of the jobs Rick Gwydir willingly acceprs. Sometimes you just can't help goofing off, even when you are supposed to be working. These Marching Band members just can't seem to keep their minds on finishing their floar.
