Students at the junior and senior high school levels in San Clemente will have a voice in planning their recreation facilities after recent approval by the City Council of a Youth Advisory Committee to the Parks and Recreation Commission.
The seven-member panel will be made up of city residents between the ages of 12 and 18, according to a plan from Bruce Wegner, parks and recreation manager. There will be three junior high and four high school students on the committee.
Applications will be accepted by the commission beginning next month for those interested in serving the first term from April to September. Beginning in September, appointed commission members will serve a full year’s term.
Tustin High School seniors Erin Cunningham, Jennifer MacLean and David Taylor have received appointments to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.
The three appointments to the academy brings the total to nine in the past six years, more than any other high school in the country, according to the academy’s director of admissions.
Brent Borden, David Lauderdale and Fred Rice were accepted in 1984; Laurie Reider in 1987, and Matt Blitch and Tom Feuerborn in 1988.
“I’m really proud of the accomplishments of the students and staff at Tustin High,” said Merlin L. (Bud) Henry Jr., a Tustin Unified School District board member and an admissions representative for the academy.
“Analyzing humor is like dissecting a frog. Few people are interested and the frog dies of it.”
