2 IMC Club Takes Trip To Chicago IMC Club members worked diligently during their study halls, before, and after school in the IMC shelving books, checking out materials, and helping their new advisor, Mrs. Carrie Pinnow. Outside of the library. IMC Club activities included the traditional Christmas dinner at the Mansion, and candy sales to earn funds for a trip to Great America later in the year. After spending a full day at Great America, the club spent the night in Chicago and visited the Museum of Science and Industry the next day. The sole purpose of IMC Club is to be of service in the IMC to students and faculty. Members have worked hard and put in many hours to make the library a better place to be. 1.

Forensic Five Advance to State. After much practice, changing a word or two, or adding a dramatic gesture, the Forensics Team was ready for a competitive season. At the Platteville Invitational four members, Kevin Callahan, Bill Takacs, Mary Allen, and Becky Hart-wig, participated in the final rounds of their categories. On March 9th, all Forensics members received A’s at the sub-districts. These ratings advanced them on to district. The Badger Conference, hosted by Monroe, brought tough competition to the group. Middleton won the tournament. Later in March, the four members mentioned earlier and Bob Rasmussen received A’s at district and went on to state. At the state meet, Mary Allen and Bob Rasmussen received A’s and Callahan, Hartwig, and Takacs received B’s. Sophomores Kevin Callahan and William Takacs, Junior Becky Hartwig, and Senior Mary Allen were honored with the outstanding awards in their respective classes. 1.

U.N. Represents African countries The United Nations Club attended two model United Nations. One model U.N. was in Plattville; another in Milwaukee. Both were well planned and educational events. At Platteville Monroe represented two African Delegations, Egypt and the Ivory Coast. The Egyptian Delegation had trouble operating within their block. The other members of the block voted the Egyptian members out of the block. But the Egyptian Delegation, led by Linda Batty, fought their way back into the block. The event ended with both Monroe delegations having added their part to the model U.N. The following week the club attended the event at Milwaukee. The Monroe delegation represented Egypt. Although the delegation did not get voted out of their block, the group did have an enjoyable and educational weekend. 1 Ann Brengenzer speaks on foreign policy. 2. United Nations Club. FRONT ROW: M.
