These were not uncom- mon words heard by members of the Iveyis and Burdine's Teen Boards as they hurriedly prepared for their fashion shows last summer. Among ten Ivey's Teen Board members, four were seniors from Northeast: Robin Banks, Lowella Esperanza, Dorothy Rhodes, and Tracy Stuebs. On the Burdine's board were three seniors: Latricia Clin- ton, Tammy Kling, and Brenda Peoples. Starting as early as the end of their junior years, the girls had to complete their applications for the boards. The first of two interviews was with the store manager and the fashion coordinator. After that interview, the girls, in suspense, awaited a letter that let them know whether they had become finalists. The second interview, a per- sonal talk, was held in front of three judges. According to Dorothy Rhodes, At this interview, they fthe judgesj con- centrated more on why I wanted to be on the Teen Board and the qualities that I had to offer. The only difference between Ivey's and Burdine's interviews was that when the girls became finalists, the Burdine's judges asked the candidates to dance in front of five judges. Brenda, Tammy, and Latricia all agreed that the inter- view was nerve-wracking but fun. Along with modeling the new fashion looks for 1983, the girls also had the op- portunity to work in the stores and become familiar with the world of retail fashion merchandising. Lowella en- thusiastically said, I've learned so much about myself and others and have met many interesting people. These op- portunities make being a Teen Board member worthwhile and rewarding! Taking a break from modeling at the Dunedin Middle School PTA Back to School fashion show are Robin Banks, Tracy Stuebs, Lowella Esperan- za, and Dorothy Rhodes. About her experiences as a Teen Board member, Lowella commented, On Teen Board, we not only help ourselves, but others as well. Ch-CIXSENIORS 197

If we had taken a poll, we would have found that Northeast was glad to have him, also. Melvin enjoyed participating in various clubs as well as sports. He was a four-year member of Student Govern- ment: sergeant-at-arms was the office he held in his senior year. As a junior varsity football player, Melvin played defensive line, but he switched to of- 198 SENIORSXCI-Da AP! vs HALL or FAME up a career fense to become an anchor in the offen- sive line. He was also a member of VICA in his junior year, winning gold and silver medals in leadership com- petition for that club. Cooking was one of his hobbies, so his participation in Commercial Cooking was natural. Melvin commented that he will always remember NEHI for the good friends whom I will miss when I am gone. .V '-f..,.?'
