SS Move over-we re growing: each in independent ways Having willingly provided comprehensive educations for more than 20,000 students during the 1970’s and early 1980's, McCl uer North readily accepted a unique group of students during the 1982-83 school year. The new group was com- prised of sophomores and, for the first time, freshmen: the latter being the class of 1986. Moving over and making the sophomores and freshmen comfortable was almost routine. Moving over and making friends with them was often fun. And moving over and helping them feel like indivi- duals was a universal responsibility ac- cepted by all upperclass students and faculty as well. That responsibility required both time and attention. Many newcomers didn’t fully understand the philosophy and dis- tinctiveness of their new school. “When McCluer North got started, they intend- ed it to be different from other schools — and it is,” said Mary Reynolds, senior. That difference was characterized by special people and special programs, both on and off campus. For instance, accept- ing the responsibility of commons was a significant difference encountered by the freshmen and sophomores. From commons and other experiences, though, the newcomers learned to obey the school guidelines, to function by themselves, and to evaluate worthy and unworthy behaviors. From that shared responsibility, then, they grew to understand a special place. ‘“McCluer North is a school that stands behind its students, whether they need a friend or a shoulder to cry on,” said Barb Spellmeyer, senior. Standing at attention, Michelle Pickler, senior, gets ready for her next move on the field. Chaining his bike to the closest tree after riding to w= school, Bob Carpenter, sophomore, prepares for the ischool day. ————SE———— ey Sree er eT Rie ee Opening 3
