Sophie Gibbard Stephanie Gilbert Shawn Goddard Lut Goedhuys LeRoy Gordon Barry Gould Peter Grimard Iay Guyette BHS s BPD Helper Here you see Ion Fenimore in uniform outside the Burlington Police Department headquarters. But don't get the wrong idea. He's not a cop, or even one of the notorious baby cops. Ion is only a member of the Burlington Police Explorers Post 800, a group sponsored by the Police Department and affiliated with the Explorers arm of Boy Scouts of America. This is a group of twenty-five teenagers interested in law enforcement, including about seven BHS students. The purpose of the organization is to provide interested young people with insight in police work with hands on training in firearms, self-defense, and other areas. Members are allowed to accompany police officers on patrol for observation, though assistance can be given to an officer if needed. 'I'hey also help at headquarters. When the police department is spread thin, such as the day Vice- president Bush visited Burlington, the Police Explorers are used to secure side streets or buildings. On occasions like this, Ion is equipped with radio and flashlight. However, he has only a citizen's power of detainmentg an officer must be called if a crime is observed. As Ion says, The police can't be everywhere. We help in small ways. Unfortunately, Ion's role as an Explorer has been misconstrued by some. He is not a narc and certainly not a policeman. In fact, turning in others is not allowed. While at BHS, Ion and the other Explorers are just high school students, but because law enforcement interests them, they are Explorers to leam and to help.

Q . l Kimberly Holden Debra Holonitch Debbie Houle Brent Huff Russ Humphrey an iw' Vicki Huva I Kevin Izzo Iolly Hockeysticks! During t.he summer of '87, I had the opportunity to leave home and spend five weeks leaming about another culture in New Zealand. I travelled half-way around the world with about thirty-five other people, mostly teenagers, for the purpose of teaching the Bible. We had the opportunity to work in churches, youth camps, schools, and on the street, as well as on a small tropical island called Rarotonga. It was a tremendous experience, and I really enjoyed living with the people and learning about their lives. We were able to pick up new sayings like G'day mate, which means hello, and Iolly hockeysticks, which can mean just about anything. We leamed to eat a lot of lamb and kiwi fruit as well as apple sandwiches and even spaghetti on pizzal We discovered what gumboots were - and often wished we had some because it rained constantly. Returning home, we had a mini-vacation in the tropics of Tahiti and, even though it was winter in New Zealand, we managed to come home tanned. I learned many things last summer, and even though New Zealand is on the opposite side of the world, the people there are just like us. I made many lifetime friends. It was an unforgettable experience. Article by Deb Holonitch Seniors Z9
