With advice to students like, "Be as nice to everyone as you possibly can because it will pay off eventually," it's obvious why Susie Ziehn is secretary‑treasurer of Brotherhood Society and chairman of the Student Council Human Relations Committee. She's also secretary of her church youth group, Pilgrim Fellowship.

It's certainly not obvious from looking at her pert 5' 2" frame, but Susie is a food hound. She confesses that she loves food. (Anyone who eats lunch with her knows that.) Her favorites now are macaroni and cheese, swiss steak, and corn. She emphatically states, "I love corn anyway it's fixed!" However she used to indulge regularly in such gourmet delights as ketchup sandwiches, potato chip sandwiches, and her favorite baked bean sandwiches.

Susie is known as "Gook" to the other members of her family ‑ "Grubby," "Sha‑sha," "Dee‑da," and "Preh." Her friends have given her titles like "Ziehny‑babes" and "Sooosie." When asked what her boyfriend calls her, she quipped, "He doesn't, unless he has to."

"Ziehny‑babes" revealed, "There are times when my family can really embarrass me.

One evening Joe Richardson and I were watching television at my house when my mother came into the room and said, 'Joe, who are you marching with for graduation?' When he said no one, she turned to me and asked, 'And who are you marching with Susie?' I said nobody, and so right there in front of me she proceeded to ask Joe to march with me for graduation. I was so embarrassed. Joe made matters even worse because he said 'yes' to my mother and then kept waiting for me to ask him formally."

It seems that Susie has a talent for getting into embarrassing situations. "Just recently, on the day of the National Honor Society Tea, I came walking into Spanish late because I had been in the washroom combing my hair and didn't think that the bell was going to ring‑unfortunately it did!"

Susie is a little worried that she might be developing an image. "In V‑Show I played the part of a little girl, and now 1 have the part of a little girl named Susie (that's type casting) in Flower Drum Song."

Susie likes Maine West because she feels that if students really apply themselves here they can be very well prepared for either college or a job when they leave. This year Susie's courses include English lVE, Spanish IV, government, commercial law, and senior leaders.

If all boys are as observant of the way girls dress as Doug Bergman is, every girl ought to take special care in her appearance. Doug's pet peeve is girls' saggy nylons.

Doug first developed his pet peeve while watching his female competition at debate matches. Doug is about as perfect a representative of a drama and speech student as can be found at Maine West. He has not only been debating for four years, but has also been very successfully active in extracurricular speech activities. These have occupied most of Doug's spare time, and his list of accomplishments shows that the time has been put to good use.

In his sophomore year he placed first in his district in oratorical declamation; as a junior he took first place in the Voice of Democracy contest; and this year he placed third in his district and third in sectionals doing original oration. His acting accomplishments include a lead role in You Can't Take It With You and The Glass Menagerie. Doug is also former president of the Maine West Forensic Society, a member of the National Forensic Society, and a member of Thespian Society. To top it all off, he announces for WMTH.

When asked about his most exciting incident "Berg" mumbled "California." Talking about his most embarrassing moment, he laughed and said, "That had to do with dramatics, too. Phyllis Van Kranenburgh and I were trying to get some glass animals to use in The Glass Menagerie. We went to this antique shop, parked the car and went into the shop. We looked around but couldn't find anything so we went back to the car and got in. Phyl tried to get the key in the ignition, but it wouldn't fit. I suggested that she had it in upside down and she should let me try. She was really upset and kept saying that it wasn't the right car. I said, 'Of course, it's the right car; I'll bet my life on it.' We must have sat there at least five minutes before I turned around. When I saw that my books weren't in the back seat, I said, 'Guess what, Phyl; this isn't the right car.' Boy did we get out of there fast."
