New projects lead to exciting year Student Senate, under the direction of second-year advisor Mr. Chuck Biederman, provided innovative ideas as well as preserving traditional duties including Homecoming 1981 and Twerp Week. New to the senate’s responsibilities included the first-ever Class of the Year Competition, Newcomers Committee, Canned Food Drive, and the Computer Dance. ASB President Joe Arndt felt that “by going out on a limb on some of our new activities, we found that success was not always easy; but because we had a good senate and a cooperative advisor, they turned out all right.” Throughout the school year, sophomore, junior, and senior classes were in competition for the large red banner to go to the class which compiled the greatest number of points. The contests included a percentage of yearbook sales, pep assembly winners, hall decorations, and noon-time activities. The Newcomers Committee welcomed new students into the district with a party, including a package containing local merchant coupons and Grizzly window decals. The canned food drive, which took place at Christmas, brought in more cans of food for dispersion McIIkmi Kwiatkowskl to needy people by the Elk’s Club than the last few years put together. An added incentive was a challenge from Newberg High School. Newberg won, however, and MHS relinquished the coveted trophy. Mike Teefarden On Saturday evening, January 23, students participated in the first annual computer dance. Students filled out questionaires and were matched by compatibility to the opposite sex. The list gave each student his ten most compatible matches. Mac High’s senate was also responsible for the Willamette Valley League Service Project which took place February 17 at Mollala State Park. Over 200 senate members from league schools donated time to clear brush and plant hundreds of Douglas Fir saplings.

Center: As Joe Arndt waits to present the trophy to Newberg, winner of the canned food drive, he prepares to dodge the tomatoes and ignore the boo’s. However, Newberg surprised Joe by being very considerate. Left: “How many people can we get inside this string?” became the much-asked question at the student cram.

Assemblies, rally generate spirit Spirited leadership provided by pep band and rally sparked enthusiasm from Grizzly supporters throughout the year. Playing at all home football and basketball games, the pep band kept spirits high, while the rally involved the crowd in enthusiastic cheers. Two varsity rallies (winter and fall) as well as a junior varsity rally were responsible for organizing pep assemblies, class competition, and supporting the teams. The rallies posted supportive banners and baked cookies for athletes participating in sports. In addition, the girls kept busy with rally fund raisers including the popular lucky shot contest, which was Stewarts Of Dayton held during half-time at home basketball games. Other fundraisers included the sales of mugs, seat cushions, homecoming mums, and valegrams and flowers for Valentine’s Day.
