It’s more than an Even Exchange. It’s The Foriegn (above) Ramon poses for the camera with the Board of Educa tion behind him. That a way Ramon! (left) Ramon and Carlos are both Spanish-speaking foreign ex- change students. Carlos from Mexico, Ramon—Paraguay. (bottem) Ramon played soccer this year with our soccer team. In Paraguay, he also played on a team. n September 9, 1981, four new and unique stu- dents took their First Steps into C.W. Baker High School. “Who are they and where are they from?” echoed throughout the halls in September. Well, they are foreign exchange students who spend time abroad in another coun- try outside of their own. Finland, Germany, Mexico, and Paraguay are the homes of Rauni, Frank, Carlos, and Ramon. One of them spoke German, while two others ram- bled on in Spanish, but still they understood each other. They were each totally different, yet wore the same shoes. They were alone in a strange land—until WAALAH! Mr. Coleman appeared. With warmest welcome C. W. Baker says, “Hola!”

Marie Carter seems to Kave a good time hanging out at the beach. Patty Wynn had a nice summer spend- ing her time with Jamie Jones. If you didn’t see Joe Mautz very much last summer, it’s because he spent his time on his boat. Nancy Neilson, Jill Sanderson, Kathy Murphy, Carol Brady, Becky Maurer, Tammy Hall during the summer. I think the same goes for many people. When I asked people what the things are that they did, that many other people didn’t do, I received interesting an- swers: went to summer school, ran 1000 miles, rode my bike across the state, learned to drive, rode a horse across the Montana Mountains, hiked, etc . . . the list goes on. Summer vacation isn’t a total loss, some people had fun. Some! I took a survey on what a BHS student did, the most com- mon activity was sunbathing. Personally, I think people who lie in the sun and bake are asking for trouble, but a lot of people really enjoy it. Another popular activity was swim- ming. And then I asked those people what job they wished they had. Lifeguarding was the ideal job. Funny, when I asked a lifeguard if he considered himself lucky, he said no. I guess no one is happy all the time. But, as a summary, I have to admit, the majority of people did enjoy their summer. And why not? There’s NO home- work! Lori lannicello takes a break in bathing to check out to see how she’s cooking. Looks pretty good Lori! Summer 13
