arents get Students decked themselves out in their best dress uniforms for the “Big Inspec- tion.” It was the night for parent and advisor conferences, held during the week of October I8th-22nd. In part, the parents met with the advisors to discuss what classes the student should take for second semester. The conference began when the parent and student team marched in. step through the doorway and reported to the advisor. As soon as they were seated they began to talk about the grade point average the student had. The next thing the advisors were interested in was that they had the graduating credits that were required. The third important thing was what courses to take for college prep.

Travel has always been a great way to have fun, meet new people, and see inter- esting places. But you’ve never had to be a kid to enjoy it — only a kid at heart. Many teachers from McCluer North went all over the world for their summer vaca- tions last year, and some stayed in the states and had equally as much fun. Mrs. Sue Barry, Foreign Language Department, enjoyed a trip to Germany, and Mrs. Sara Boyer, also from the Foreign Language Department, took a trip to France. Mr. David Reindl, Math Department, com- mented, “I go on vacations for rest and relaxation.” He got this “RER” by fishing, swimming, and camping in the Colorado Mountains where it was very quiet, peaceful, and “NO STUDENTS!”’ Both Ms. Jane Helbig, Physical Education Department, and Mrs. Joan Avioli, Eng- Teachers have fun too! lish Department, went on exciting trips to China last summer.

Mrs. Avioli enjoyed her travel. “It gives me a chance to learn about other cultures of life while touring schools and sightsee- ing. So, if students want to plan a vacation and don’t know where to go, ask some of McCluer North’s faculty. They had some suggestions!
