Wheaton Community High School - Wecomi Yearbook (Wheaton, IL)

The Heritage Club, started by Lee and Stacey Harris, was a new organization at Wheaton Central this year. The mem- bership consisted of students who wanted to become more aware of the achievements made by minority groups in America. The club explored many cultures, specifically ones in which the members expressed an interest. Some foreign exchange students spoke at the meetings and the club vis- ited several museums in Chicago. A bake sale and other fund raisers helped to raise money needed for other events. The main purpose of the club was to break down existing stereotypical barriers. Ugh! Latin Club, how gay! Unfortunately, this is the general opinion of the WCHS student body, but we lowly beings do manage to have some fun. We plan ways to raise money such as the ball toss booth at 'Centralfest' and can- dy bar sales outside of school. We then use the money for pizza parties and other similar activities. The club officers this year were Karen Charles, President, Jeff Kincaid, Vice- President, Sam Limentato, Secretary, Suzanne Sokalski, Treasurer. And as always, Venimus, Vidimus, Vovemus piz- zas!

Led by President Sherry Mutschler, Vice-President Gina Brown, offi- cers Wendy Chilcote, John Fawver, Viraj Shah, and faculty advisor John Stacey. many activities were planned and carried out. Over the summer, our chapter partici- pated in the Wheaton Fourth of July Pa- rade, receiving much recognition from the crowd. The group also joined Glenbard West in a protest in front of the DuPage County Courthouse. They picketed for stiffer penalties for drunk drivers. For their efforts, the group received much support from Secretary of State Jim Edgar. In the fall, our SADD chapter hosted the local Drug and Alcohol Awareness Confer- ence. Nancy Hauptman, President of the DuPage County Task Force, helped orga- nize the conference, .in which fifteen l schools attended. The event was covered by several newspapers and TV stations. In December, officers Gina Brown, Sher- ry Mutschler, and John Fawver went to WM RO Radio Station in Aurora to tape sev- T eral 30-second public service announce- ments, which were aired through New Year's Eve. Later in the year, SADD spon- sored a VaIentine's Day contest. Students turned in Contracts for Life that were signed by their parents. Three contracts were chosen for a variety of prizes. Z.,
