Inter-Relations: Students ottoin bi-rociol respect Promoting good relations between blacks and whites was the main goal of the Inter- Relations Club. The members discussed racial problems and possible solutions to the difficulties that arose during the school year. The club's main service project was a newspaper drive that lasted from the beginning of school until the middle of February. Members deposited the papers at USF. They gave the profits from the project to the library to buy a new set of encyclopedias. With sponsor Mrs. Dennis and president Terry Cejka coordinating their efforts, the nearly twenty members solved problems in personal relationships by improving attitudes toward each race. Mrs. Dennis helps students in learning to peace it together. Q Q l Bottom Row: Pres. Terry Cejka, Mrs. Lorraine Dennis, Vice Pres. Cassandra Allen, Suzan Williamson.

Students exercise democrotic process in protesting Less than four score years ago - actually only fourteen -the Hillsborough BPI brought forth this school. The history of Robinson and the study of history and other social studies began then. This year discussions of current issues, roleplaying, impromptu speeches and debates were all part of the social studies classes. While world and American history classes were studying the French and American Revolutions, Nlr. Heuberger's advanced PAD students staged a mock revolution to protest the lack of democratic process in making the class assignments. lVlr. Heuberger emerged triumphant, but that was expectedg after all, he seized Field Marshal Rom- mel's underwear in WW ll. ?.........::...-.-., Kelly Drake and Larry Symmonds joke over Flommel's longjohns as Debbie Fowler and Cheryl Stotz wait to ask Mr. Heuberger how he got them. 144 I Social Studies David Klein and Katy Dent protest Mr. Heuberger's assignments.

Council members visit chambers, did judge in setting punishments One of the few clubs that held no meetings, Youth Council recruited two members each week to attend court and assist the judges in setting punishments. Suzan Williamson, presi- dent, and Gina Burmeister, vice-president, organized the schedule excusing members from class to go to court. ln the chambers at 9:00, the Youth Council representa- tives sat with the judge behind the bar. After guilt was decid- ed, they suggested possible sentences, often accepted and used by the variousjudges. All schools in the county could participate in the pro- gram. The Council, sponsored by Mr. Glenn Alvis, consisted of 25 members who took turns passing judgement at court. Lori Marks and Frances Martens gasp surprisedly at a familiar face.

Top Row: Steve Lasky, Mark Handschy, Rick Talladira, Bill Pearson, Stephen Horne. The best thing about it is that the judge will actually listen to our suggestions - our ideas are usually inflicted on the defendant! - Katie Dent 146 I Youth Council Suzan Williamson places Steve Lasky's prints on file, just in case. 1
