VOL. V, NO. 7

January 24, 1964

John Holds High Office;
Donna Is Captain

"My greatest thrills were being elected president of Key Club and being chosen a member of the Senior Class Play," remarked personality of the week, John Heckel '64.

John spent the first seven and a half years of his life in Germany. Now as a senior, he participates in activities of Key Club, Class Council, and Inter-Club Council. John enjoys acting, collecting records, skating, swimming, and folk singing.

He feels his senior year was his best because of his part in the Senior Class Play. Homecoming of his junior year brought the most embarrassing moment for John. He was in charge of the Junior Class float which fell apart during the parade.

John's pet peeve is people who have abilities but don't use them. It also bothers him to come out of a chemistry class not knowing what went on. Girls with wicked hairdos and too much make‑up are another of John's peeves.

When asked what he would like to change about himself, John replied that he wants to be better organized.

As president of Key Club, John's goal is to make the club a real success. Key Club is a service organization for boys who perform different service projects for the school.

After graduation from Maine, John plans to attend Drake University.

Pretty, pert, and petite are all adjectives that apply to Donna Meier, who seems to have an inexhaustible supply of energy and a smile for everyone. They come naturally to Donna because she's the captain of the varsity cheerleading squad.

This 5-foot, 3 1/2 inch brunette keeps very busy with cheerleading practice twice a week. Student. Council, V-Show, and Memory Record. Donna has worked hard in past V-Shows as a member of the dance chorus and is also a member of Brotherhood Society.

Donna enjoys steaks, slumber parties, playing records, writing letters, and a good game of poker. Her pet peeves are "people that don't support their team by cheering at the games" and "people that don't practice what they preach."

"I think my most embarrassing moment was when Maine West had the ball, and I was yelling, 'Steal it! Steal it!' Donna admitted.

Donna likes her senior year the best "because we are the oldest, and we are the ones that the other classes look up to. We only take orders from the teachers now!"

Her most memorable experiences at Maine were being chosen as a cheerleader and being crowned Queen of the Christmas Formal Dance.

When asked about the school's pep this year, she said, "I think students should cheer more at the games and come to the pep rallies and learn the cheers."
Donna plans to attend Western Illinois University and possibly study nursing.
