Battle of Sexes tops United Way by Loraine Wittmeyer Every student loves to have assemblies - this means no classwork! Infact, students were willing to donate a quarter to attend an assem- bly for the campaign. During the assembly, the winners of the Crazy Legs contest and the winner of the Ugly Teacher contest, Mrs. Becky Hawksley, were revealed to the audi- ence. Students and faculty voted for their favor- ite legs or teacher during the week by dropping coins into jars in front of the cafeteria. To top off the assembly, chairman Debbie Morman planned a Battle of the Sexes. This consisted of a series of events including an egg- throwing competition and an obstacle course. The male and female competitors earned their positions by belonging to one of the top four homerooms which collected the greatest amount of money per student during the week. After counting all money raised during the campaign, 564435, Student Council sponsor, Mr. Marvin Lindmark, felt, lt was an excellent job by the Student Council. More money was raised than in many recent years! D -NE H, ,X-is! 1 J After the egg toss, varsity cheerleaders help the boys members of the losing team, put on blindfolds for a taste test experiment.

2535151 md of world, national and local news events in 1981-82 . UNE IO. NDEPENDENCIE, MISSOURI Al.l. AMERICA CITY P0ii's,isi0N .POSTED Independence earns 2nd national honor by Galinna Newby or the second time in 20 years the city of Independ- ence received an All-Amer- ican City award. , During Youth Appreciation 5Night, April 17, former Kansas ,governor and current vice presi- fiilent of the National Municipal .!League, John Anderson, pre- fsented the award to Elbert Dempsey, vice chairman of the All-American City Committee, who accepted the award on behalf of the city. In 1962 the award was pre- sented to the city for ousting the William Sermon political machine, which had lasted 36 years, and founding a city char- ter government. Citizens participation in the Neighborhood Councils program earned Independence the 1982 award. ver the past 20 years, the citizens of Independence have become deeply involved in the restoration of their communi- ties through the Neighborhood Council program. Terry Snapp, the council's director of communications and training, said, I feel the All- American City Award is an indi- cation of the quality of the peo- ple residing in our city. The award speaks well for the spirit of cooperation and determination which exists in the hearts of our citizens. Snapp also said that the award is a people award. lf people don't care about their community, then nothing gets done, said Snapp. The Independence Neigh- borhood Council has been in existence for 12 years now. Dur- ing this time the organization has provided many services for the citizens of Independence such as block watch programs to prevent crime, health fairs where those who can not afford medical costs can receive checkups free of charge, and the Family Fun Fes- tival which promotes a fun dayn with a good family atmosphere for the residents of Independ- ence. he council is a non profit, philanthropic organization whose major purpose is to pro- mote the cooperation, communi- cation, and the organization of the citizens and the local government. Junior Aaron Woods said, Independence is a great city. It's a 'home town' city. I've been to a lot of cities and there is no place like Independence. in 20 years Independence has so many historical places, a good school system, and a very good neigh- borhood council. No wonder we got the award, said Michelle Wilson, sophomore. Several plans are being made to celebrate the achieve- ment throughout 1982. Bumper stickers and T-shirts are on sale and committees are being estab- lished to plan the activities for the coming year. Independence is one of eight cities to receive the All-American City Award. Thousands of cities were nominated, but only eight were chosen by the National Municipal League.
