H.M.- 17, as of February 28 F.L.- 18, as of May 18 S.K.- How long will you stay in America? H.M.- I am unsure. I want to attend college here, but I might go back to Germany because of a job agreement. F.L.- I am only staying until July. S.K.- How are your schools dif- ferent? H.M.- In Germany a person usu- ally attends nine years of high school. The schools are much harder. We have about fourteen subjects and only attend classes two to three days a week for forty-five minutes. If a person fails two of these classes, he must repeat all four- teen subjects. F.L.- In France we have attend high school for seven years. We do not choose our classes, they are assigned to us. We also do not have electives such as art, computers, etc. It is very hard to graduate. A French gradu- ation is almost equal to a soph- omore graduating from an I liked America because the food had different flavors and the climate was better. There was always sunshine here and in Germany there were no deserts or palm trees Holger Moller, senior. The interpretation of Franz ' s post card. Hi guys, It is okay here; pretty girls. The weather is very agreeable. I went to the G2 concert, it was very good. Bye, Franz While Franz didn ' t write home as often, his mai box usually contained a few letters.

S.K.- What are your future plans? H.M.- I would like to stay in America for at least another two years and maybe attend a business college in San Diego. Though, if I have to return to Germany, I would like to visit America again. F.L.- I am not quite sure of what I want to do after I return to France, besides to continue attending a University of Busi- ness. I would really like to visit America again, though. by Brian Downs and Jean Goodwin Sr. Places Nationally Arlington special seniors of 1988 go beyond high grades and new inside school accomplishments, they go beyond Riverside ' s own competitions straight into the national campion- ships. One of these seniors was Dylan Schott, the Cali- fornia Champion for Ac- counting Division for the Fu- ture Business Leaders of America Club. Dylan placed fourth in the nation at the competition held last sum- mer in Anaheim. Dylan has been involved with FBLA for three years. The confer- ence was great! I met people from all over the country. Dylan stated. The competi- tion was easier than I expect- ed, except there was a major time factor involved in case of a tie. I played it cool and didn ' t stress too much, he said. Other FBLA students went to the conference to compete and to cheer com- petitors on.

Al- though it didn ' t seem like it at the time, even things like deadlines could be lissed after graduation. Seniors . . . it ' s almost a scary word. It signifies the end of high school, the end of a part of your life, and the beginning of one on your own. Remember the first day of school? Some seniors felt strange, not having any- one else to look up to, and some assumed the leader- ship role without a doubt. Different things became a part of our year: Mo classes, government and economics, first in line at Taco-Tia be- cause you had a car, money for senior pictures, college applications, weekends, graduation announcements . . . and all of a sudden graduation came too soon. But we will always remem- ber the little things through- out high school: Mary Vikupitz remem- bers, All the fun I had on the swim team and with my friends.

As we move on to other things in our paths, high school memories will always stay in our minds. by Christal Mozer SR MINI MAG. • 73

Julie Diebold-Drum Major It ' s a 6:30 a.m. on a cool Satur- day morning as my alarm clock shrieks through the house. Today is a big competition, so I know I have to drag myself out of bed and get ready. Every morning before a com- petition, I play our show tape and practice my directions. As I put my uniform in my garmet bag and po- lish my boots. I visualize the field show in my head. The minutes be fore we go on to the field are the most important to me I like to stretch out and concentrate on the show before we even enter the the field. After wishing everyone good luck, its time to show our stuff. Over the speakers you can hear the announcer say And now, the Gold en Pride from Arlington High School . This is our cue to get ready to be our best. Arlington, the judges are ready. Now we show what all the practice is for. Once again the Golden Pride has given it their all and given a great perfor- mance. The reward for all the hard work is now here. As I and the other offi- cers walk out for awards we know we ' ve done our best. We all hold hands when they come to our divi- sion; and then they announce it, the band, flags, and drill team have all won their division! by Julie Diebold Grades Maintained Despite Move Changing schools in the middle of high school can be different for some people, but not for two individuals in particular. Joe Beltran and Eve Larson not only did exceptionally well in their other schools, but the move didn ' t phase them at all, because they ' re still at the top of their class. Joe attributed his high grades to good study habits, Changing schools and maintaining my G.P.A. were not difficult processes, because my study habits helped me adapt to Arlington. Eve stated that her school in Virginia was a lot harder. The lowest A was a 94%, and I had a lot of homework. Mow that they ' ve adjusted, both are still doing quite well, at the top 2% of their class. In addition to the great grades, Joe was involved with Mock Trial and Academic Decathalon, and Eve participated in the marching band. And if that wasn ' t enough, they both had a birage of AP classes. Even with all my Advanced classes and activities, I schedule my time appropriatly so I get it done well, concluded Joe Beltran. SR.
