Good-Year Hopes Typified Universal Consensusg September '66 After three months of well-used vacation, Buena opened its doors for the sixth year to new and old students. Bulldogs returned ready to start off a new, even more successful year of academic advancement, athletic upsets and numerous campus activities. Gerald Hoogesteyn and Yoko Katoaka, Buena's two foreign exchange students, were acquainted with the school. Gerald arrived from Venezuela and lives with the Robert MacEwan family. Yoko came from Japan, and has taken residency with her American foster family, the Millers. Mr. Berbert and Mr. Jones are welcomed back to Buena's staff after a year's sabbatical leave. Five ASB officers spent a delightful weekend in Mount Pinos while attending the Ventura County Inter-School Council leadership camp. During their visit, the officers attended several meetings, and recreational activities were also provided. The football season opened with a game against San Marcos. Even though it ended in a loss for the Bulldogs - they picked up and had an overall good season, meanwhile San Marcos ran up an undefeated season until CIF playoffs. September Song was the title given to Buena's traditional welcome dance. This event took place after the Buena-Rio Mesa game, and featured the Organizers , a live band. Gerald Hoogesteyn and Yoko Katoaka were Buenafs newly- arrived foreign exchange students from Venezuela and Japan.
