Small Clubs Continue to Grow Journalism students were chosen to become members of the national journalism honor society Quill and Scroll. Selection was on the basis of achievement in newspaper and yearbook production. “Eleven juniors were inducted into the National Business Honor Society,” commented President Maureen Wade. The 22 members were required to maintain a 3.0 g.p.a. in all business classes. Members of Road Runners sponsored a 500 mile run from Oregon to Idaho. Proceeds from the run went to a fund for the proposed rubberized track. Energetic Backpackers embarked on several campouts. The club sponsored trips to Pamela Lake.

Dramatists Present Command Performance The McMinnville High School drama department’s performance of Lion in Winter won acclaim not only in McMinnville, but at command performances at the State Thespian conference in Medford and the Regional Thespian Conference in Portland. Following the performance in Portland at the Regional Conference, drama coach Jack Watson received an invitation for the drama department to present a production at the National Thespian Conference next year. The leading roles were played by seniors John Shields and Belinda Gregory. It was the first leading role on the McMinnville stage for both students.

Student Senate Sponsors Election By a margin of 92 to 1, Gerald Ford ran over Jimmy Carter in the 1976 mock election sponsored by the Student Senate. Results at MHS paralled in most instances those at the county and state levels. Ford also captured Oregon’s electoral votes. Similarly voters reelected U.S. Congressman Les Aucoin and State Senator Tony Meeker. Ballot Measure No. 9, the nuclear safeguard measure, was also defeated. The mock election was one of many successful events sponsored by the Student Senate. The group was also responsible for Homecoming, the Christmas dance, and the always popular Twerp Week.
