and Perfection This year, the Drill Team was led by the two co-cap- tains, Nancy Olson and Jodi Sather. Practice began soon after the team was picked, at the end of May. They participated in quite a few parades including the Fourth of July, Homecoming, Santa's Day, Victoria, and Salty Sea Days. They also did well in a competition at Wenatchee in the middle of March. On the first day of school, they performed to Flashdance. They did var- ious routines at home football games during half time. Besides all of the work during practices and perfor- mances, they have had a few fun activities to break the monotony such as a picnic at Lake Ki, a Christmas party and a few potlucks before games. The Drill Team of AHS, known as the Eagals, seem to rapidly improve with every year. Drill Team 21

Aisatsu, Hallo, Wegates? This year we had eight exchange students. Unfortunately, one went back to her home country before the year was through. She was Katsuko Yamamoto, from Japan. Alexandra Koch is an exchange student from Olbenburg, West Germany. Alexandra, Alexa to her friends, is in grade 12. She likes living in the United States, but misses her family and friends in her home country. She likes skiing and running. Also, school, because it takes all day and you have a social life. In Germany, the social life is only outside the school. She enjoys the American food, but thinks it is too fattening. Also from West Germany is 12th grader, Iris Leibraand. Iris is from the city of Pforzheim. The things she likes most about the U.S. is the people, language, and school. Her hobbies are skiing, swimming, gymnastics, reading, seeing movies, and dancing. From the country of Brazil, we have Ana Claudia Abdalla dos Reis, grade 12. Ana is from the city of Oriente, in the state of Sao Paulo. She enjoys many things in the U.S., the people, food, and the advanced technology. Her hobbies are gymnastics, modern dance, swimming, traveling, and piano. The things she notices most differently about the U.S. and her country is the climate, housing, education, music, and health care is free in her country. From the island of Vega, in the country of Norway, we had Jorn Pedersen, grade 11. The things Jorn likes most about the U.S. are the people, television, music, and the driving age. His hobbies are soccer, dancing, traveling, hiking, and participating in political youth organizations. The differences he notices most between the two countries are the size, food, politics, education, and climate. From the country of Chile, we have Jose Sulantay. Jose is in grade 11. He participated in two sports this year, a re- ceiver and kicker in football, and he also showed much talent in soccer. We also had two students from the country of Japan. Chieko Tachibana, from the city of Tokyo, and Eisuke Kudo, from the city of Hokkaido. This is Chieko's second year at AHS. She is in grade 11 this year. What she likes most about the U.S. is the school and the culture. What Chieko misses most about her home country are the nights at Shin juke (the local hang out). She also likes the food here, but says, like Alexa, it is too fattening. Eisuke is in the 11th grade. His hobbies are music, volleyball, and traveling. What Eisuke likes most about the U.S. is school. The differences he notices between the two countries are the education, food, life, language, and climate. Exchange 23
