Terry, Sue, and Peg End Year on
Westerner Staff

April 21, 1946, the date of a famous battle? No! It is the day Terry Zach '63, co‑managing editor of The Westerner, was brought into this world.

This remarkable fellow manages to keep a B average while participating on The Westerner staff, Russian club, and V‑show. Terry is a member of National Honor society and was a semifinalist in the Illinois State Scholarship contest. He's also to be made a member of Quill and Scroll society tonight.

Terry will enroll in the college of arts and sciences at the University of Washington, Seattle.

Narrow‑minded people, who can't accept others for what they are, is Terry's biggest pet peeve. He feels that a person should be accepted for what he is, not for what he has or doesn't have or what he can do.

In addition to swimming and dancing, Terry likes to listen to records by Eileen Farrell. One of his favorite activities is sitting up 'til all hours of the night having discussions on just about any controversial subject.

DURING EIGHTH PERIOD the clack of typewriters can be heard throughout A‑wing as The Westerner staff works on the next edition. There are pictures to be taken by the staff photographers, stories to be written and edited and headlines to be written for each story.

The staff consists of mostly seniors. Their interests and activities are varied, but these students are willing to help and are very interested in one of the major publications of Maine West. This interest is expressed in the time and effort put forth.

The position of editor this year is held by Sue Schreyer '63, who has the responsibility of seeing that everything runs smoothly. Sue took journalism her junior year and was also on The Westerner staff. She now adds Quill and Scroll and National Honor society membership to her list of accomplishments.

Among other things Sue has taken up the hobby of knitting. One of her projects this year was a sweater for her boyfriend Ken Milner. Sue also enjoys doing her girlfriends' hair, and her latest experiments have been on classmates Joyce Christensen and Peg Demko.

According to Ken, one of the most embarrassing situations they encountered was the time they arrived home three hours late. They had some difficulty convinicng her parents that his watch had stopped.

Sue and her parents are moving to Vermont this summer where they own a home. She plans to attend the University of Vermont where she will major in biological sciences.

HOLDING THE POSITION of co‑managing editor of The Westerner this year is a short, blue-eyed blond from Minnesota.

Peg Demko came to Maine West in her sophomore year from Minnesota, and her first love is still for her native state. She enjoys all sports, but her second love is swimming, especially in lakes.

Another thing Peg enjoys is her position on The Westerner staff. The highlights of her work on the paper was her trip to Champaign, where she was one of a group of representatives from Maine at the state high school journalists' association.

Peg's most embarrassing experience concerns her boy invited her to his parents' apartment. She did not know the address for sure, and he had said not to knock. When she saw him in the window, she walked into the apartment in which he had been standing, planning to really surprise him. She did. He had been visiting a friend in the same building, and she had walked into his friend's apartment.

She takes her shoes off constantly, and although she loses them continuously, she remembers losing one only once for good. Over Easter vacation Peg bleached her hair. "I've found out from experience blonds do have more fun."

If Peg is as active at college as she is at Maine, she will be very busy. Last year there was Quill and Scroll society, Historical society, the variety show, and teaching Sunday school. The Senior class play, Girls' Club council, Thespian society, and National Honor society are the outstanding activities of her senior year.

Peg plans to attend St. Olaf college in Minnesota and major in biology, her favorite subject. She will probably live on spaghetti and pistachio nuts while she is in college. She plans to join the Peace Corps after college as a biology teacher.
