Teenagers To Aid
In Polio Drives
Jeri Suer, a senior at Wilmington Ohio High School, who won the National March of Dimes Editorial Contest last January, has been named Ohio chairman of TAPS, (Teens Against Polio).
Her selection as chairman was announced today by Richard L. Kroesen of Cleveland, state chairman of the March of Dimes.
Miss Suer, a pretty 16 year old was a polio victim seven years ago. Since her recovery she has become one of Wilmington High School's most active students. She is editor of the school paper, a majorette for the band, a representative to Girl's State, member of four student clubs, on the scholarship team for three years, and placed tenth in the state French examinations two years ago.
She intends to go to college, preferably Stephens, and has hopes of becoming an advertising copy writer.
In her role as Ohio chairman of TAPS, Miss Suer will work with teen-age groups in high schools in Ohio organized to assist in the March of Dimes.
"Too many people think teen-agers are flighty and do not feel their responsibilities. We hope Teens Against Polio will be one way in which we can prove that high school students have a vital interest in the health and happiness of their community," Jeri said in accepting the TAPS appointment.
