Deb Is Vice-President
Debbie Quinn spotlights her senior year at Maine West as her best, and she has a perfect right to do so. Last year she was voted to hold the office of vice-president of the Senior Class, as she accepted this office, this pert, blonde-haired, blue-eyed senior didn't realize that the best was yet to come. But when the year started out, it started with her favorite football player in the hospital after his first game.

Being a Senior Leader has given Deb many opportunities to spout her favorite expressions. Her junior gym class will not soon forget the many times they have heard, "Woe, Babes" and "Mother Goose" come spouting from their senior leader's mouth.

Deb's senior year presented her with the opportunity to make her debut on the West stage. She played the role of one of Ginger's older sisters in the senior class production of Time Out For Ginger. In the spring of 1965 she captured the lead role in South Pacific, as Nurse Nellie Forbusch. This role was a foreshadowing of Deb's own career because she hopes to become a surgical nurse sometime in the future.

Also in her senior year Deb was chosen as Des Plaines' first Junior Miss. In December of the same year she was chosen as Christmas Formal Queen, proving that along with her ability to lead and act she can also shine with the best of the beauties.
 When asked about her other years at Maine West, Deb laughed as she told of the time when she had a gigantic crush on Tom Prochaska and her sister, Maureen, started dating him. Smiles also crossed this active senior's face when she remembered freshmen square dancing when her slips fell down in the middle of the gym.

Of course, her senior year may be Deb's favorite year but her previous years at Maine were no less active. She served two years on Student Council and Class Council, and in her junior year was elected as secretary of her class. As a tribute to her friendly nature she was chosen as a member of the Brotherhood Society in her sophomore year. In her junior year she joined the Pom Pom squad and was chosen as junior member of the Christmas Formal Court.

"The barriers between students, such as clicks and 'special' crowds", is something Deb feels detracts from Maine West's outstanding features.

This out-going, active senior girl concluded her statements by saying "if there was someway to make me appear more shy I would try it."
