Knunckle explained that the YAC will be sponsoring a lot more activities like the concert in the future, as well as classes designed around the Interests of teens 26 A student life MINI MAGAZINE

MINI MAGAZINE TRASH TROUBLES Dr. Ralph Johnson: I asked several students not to walk or to throw trash on my lawn Yet they took no heed, but rather called obscenities to me Please control the children.” The above represented a restatement of a written complaint concerning a litter problem in the vicinity of the school during fourth and fifth lunch periods. In early November, freshman and sophomore class officers, with their respective advisors, Mrs Rebecca Grimm and Ms. Diane Haddad, met with senior Ben Hadley and Johnson to lay the foundations for the Good Neighbor Program. As his Senior Service Project. Hadley led the administrative effort for the program. The freshman and sophmore officers recruited four or five students who would volunteer for a week at a time. Hadley took attendance of the students and gave them trash assignments In early January, the school sent letters to neighbors of the school explaining the program Officials implemented the pro gram the first week of February. Mrs. Jeannie Vaughn, secretary, monitored calls from the neighbors who could call on the litter hot-line. The volunteer students then retrieved the trash from the yard. By the end of May Johnson said. We received only nine calls (on the litter hot-line), compared to almost daily com- plaints before. Hadley surmised, The kids became aware of the program and did not litter The program was so successful that the Wallace F. Ackley Company wrote, As owner manager of many of the area properties, we are very pleased by the efforts of you and your staff and particularly those of the students. BRING DOWN THE CURTAINS Twenty-three years ago when the auditorium opened, who could have imagined the controversy it would stir? On May 8 the stage and technical crew brought attention to the auditorium problem with a notice of Intent to Strike. Said Dave Hammond, technical crew director, The light panel, carbon-arc follow spot- lights. counterweight system, and scaffolding became unsafe; build up from years of deterioration had to be dealt with. On May 25 the fire depart ment declared the light panel unsafe, and the auditorium was closed. Consequently, the May 27 Honors Assembly took place in the gymnasium. The stage crew postponed its strike when the school board promised a hydrolic lift and a leased light panel. Soon after an electrician changed light panel fuse holders and certified the auditorium as safe. It was then reopened However, Hammond felt that it was still unsafe Sophomore Dean Adamantld», Paul Newberry, and Dan Ragland attempt to get into the auditorium and lind themselves stopped bv a heavy chain locking tin- doors The auditorium was locked because of an electrical lire hazard swe watched Maybe it was the scavenger hunt Or maybe cooking hot dogs behind centerfield at all those baseball games wasn't such a great idea Whatever it was, it was the last straw The ad ministration became upset and de dared the Senior Mens Club (SMC) unassociated with the Upper Arlington School System Clubs not sponsored by the school are not allowed to sub mit announcements to be included in the regular morning reading relating to upcoming SMC events, the group cannot hold meetings in the school, nor collect money lot sweatshirts in the hall during lunch periods, and they cannot hang posters in the halls bearing the words Senior Mens Club Despite all the bad publicity, we really have done some good things. commented SMC president Dan Ream We raised money for under priviledged children at Christmastime and helped to organize the Levy Lunch in October The police have never positively determined who glued all the locks to the classrooms causing school to be closed for a day on Monday. Decern ber seventh Many people suspected SMC of direct involvment in the In cident SMC did not glue the locks The people who did could have been seniors but not every senior guy was a member of SMC. said Ream In May many seniors participated in a scavenger hunt supposedly spon sored by SMC The list of items to find included real estate signs, license plates of police cruisers, and mailbox es of specific citizens Senior men also attended many of the baseball team's home games wh«-re th»-y would barbeque behind the outfield We asked the seniors not to park there and they did any way At the Worthington Arlington games they flashed mirrors into the faces of Worthington players up to bat That was completely unacceptable behavior. said Unit Principal Jay Powell As a result of SMC being banned, the administration closely controlled the activities of the Senior Womens Club (SWC) I felt that the SWC was looked down on. unjustly. by the administration because of what the guys did We were a separate club and had separate activities. said SWC president Barb Stevenson student life . — A MIN!
