ll 10- in :I1 CM JUNIOR CLASS Innovative was the word Prof. David Needham, junior class adviser, used to describe the class. The class, he said, has picked up the flavor of its president, Mark Brewster, a very innovative person. The members of the junior class were in- novative in what they did as a class. Their goals themselves weren't necessarily that unusual. The goals were decided upon at the beginning of the year by the class officers: Mark Brewster, president falias Brew or Bruce Markster Jg Ray Lubeck, vice- presidentg Shirley Brown, secretary, and Melody Gorbet, treasurer. The goals were: Q13 To unite the class by breaking barriers and making it possible for the class members to get to know each other. Q29 To meet the social needs of the members of the class, since the mental and spiritual needs were being met by the school. Their creativity was seen, not so much in what the goals were, as in the way the class worked at meeting those goals. The first thing they did as a class was to take a trip to the ocean, on the first weekend of the school year. Other activities included an ice cream social, a sing at Mr. Needham's house, 74-,, and a man-hunt and roller-skating party. The man-hunt involved a search for five members of the junior class at the air- port. Fred Harris had disguised himself in janitor's clothing, Chuckie Johnson, in an air force uniform, Gordon Goertzeng in a businessman's outfit, Shirley Brown, in the grubby clothes and backpack of a hiker, and Cheryl Sires, in the clothing of a very con- servative, wealthy businesswoman. The rest of the class was divided up into two teams and the object was to see which team could find all of the disguised people first. The man-hunt was followed by a roller-skating party at the Gresham rink. Following their return from Christmas vacation, the members of the junior class had an over-night retreat at Kah-nee-ta Warm Springs. The retreat included an evening swim in the huge outdoor pool and relay games in a nearby hilltop lodge. Another class activity was the apprecia- tion banquet. It was held in the A-Frame by the junior guys, in honor of the girls of the class, a first for Multnomah. The men provided all the decorating, escorting of girls to the banquet, waiting on tables, the entertainment, and the program.

Several of us waiched as Tom walked across ihe dining hall and sai down. We knew Tom was a cool- hand Luke ai pranks, bui were asiound- ed when he siaried eaiing his ill-goHen lunch.

Diane McKenzie Other junior-sponsored activities includ- ed an evening of singing at the Pittock Man- sion Cas well as a tour of the buildingl, and the annual Junior-Senior Banquet in honor of the seniors. The theme for the banquet was America, God Shed His Grace on Thee. The members of the junior class were in- novative not only in what they did, but also in what they were as a class. They boasted that they had less couples and more spirit than the freshman, senior and grad classes. When the class got together, there seemed to be a real unity among the members and a good balance between clowning around and being serious about spiritual things. Since the class was smaller now than dur- ing their freshman year, there seemed to be a greater sense of unity and a greater desire to get to know each other. And since the class members were now a year older, there was a new enthusiasm to get everything they could out of their classes and out of other aspects of campus life. The members of the junior class were in- novative in what they did as a class, in what they were as a class, and finally, in what they did as individuals. They were great at playing pranks such as kidnapping people on their birthdays, stuffing people's cars with newspapers, short-sheeting beds, and freez- ing people's clothes. They were great in thinking up new ideas. Before the Dallas-Pittsburg super-bowl game on January 15th, Howie Smith and J eff Klippenes came up with the idea of ren- ting a room at a motel in order to have access to a television for this all-important event. The manager of the City Center helped them set up rows of chairs in the room, and provided glasses of ice water and then Howie and Jeff charged admission for other students who also wanted to watch the game. The manager commented that he had never rented out a room for anything like that before. The juniors were great in their ad- ministrative and leadership abilities. Nine juniors held positions on the student body president,s cabinet and many others held positions in Congress and other areas of stu- dent government. The junior class-an innovative group of students and a very significant contribution to school life. by Gloria Hegge . Y . . I . . .
