McDonald's
Black History
Maker proposes
new program
Christ Turner, a Taft High School
student who was selected one of 10
McDonald's Black History Makers
of Tomorrow, has proposed a
mentoring program that he feels will
stop many problems before they start
Speaking at a Wednesday noon
luncheon in his honor, Turner says
that he got the idea after visiting a 5th
grade class at Timberwilde Elemen-
tary School after being named a
McDonald's Black History Maker.
The goal of his new mentoring
program is to give younger students
the opportunity to interact with stu-
dents closer to their age who are goal
oriented and achievers and who can
show them that it is "cool to stay in
school and stay away from drugs and
gangs."
High school students would not be
eligible to participate until their jun-
ior year and would be screened for
their scholarship and leadership
abilities.
The program would be modeled
after Big Brothers and Big Sisters.

Tomorrow, Christopher Turner, tells

tunity is open, walk through'it; your
future may be determined by what
you do today.
