Juniors Victorious In Powder Puff As the annual powder puff football game rolled around this year, many junior and senior girls looked forward to the chance of competing against one another. However, in the two weeks of practice before the game, most of the girls complained of aches, pains, and missing their daily soap operas. They were engaged in hard hitting, wind sprints, and mastering the crash course in the Truckers’ playbook. Finally, game time came and all were ready. The junior and senior guys donned panty hose and inflatable breasts in cheering their perspective team to victory. The cheerleaders, after working hard on their cheers, provided a comic relief to the fast-paced intensity on the field. The juniors under coach Ley Havird were well trained and showed great athletic ability. The seniors, however, had a much smaller squad and although they played hard, the juniors emerged victorious. Afterwards, everyone agreed it was not the winning or the losing, it was the fun in participating. You've Got It. Coach Andy Grider makes sure his team’s on the right track.

Drama Enthusiast. While at Churchland High School, Maria Ibarra was an active member of the drama and choral groups. Host Family. Aida Vilar enjoys a moment with Jerry Dickens, a member of her host family. Maria Ibarra All I knew about the United States was what I had seen in the movies of cowboys, country music, Coke, McDonalds, and ‘Fame.’ But I knew that wasn’t all. It had to be more and I was right. Here I have seen things | didn't expect; a cosmopolitan country of different religions, races, social classes, income levels brought together through patriotism. I will take back good memories, thousands of stories, warm feelings, and lasting friendships of the people at Churchland High School. To my friends, teachers, the Drama Club, and everybody who helped me this year — Thank you. Maria Ibarra Aida Vilar Everything that | thought about the U.S. before I came has been completely ditferent, even though I knew somethings about the country through movies, magazines, and the three AFS students that my family hosted in the last years. The customs are different. For example, we don't have Thanksgiving, Halloween, or Valentine’s Day. School is where I have found more differences. In my country school begins in March and finishes in November. We don't have the opportunity to choose courses because every subject is required. Every day has been a new experience. | will never forget this wondertul year and all the people who have been nice to me, and most of all the love, affection, friendship, and caring that I have discovered in every one of the people who have been interested in me, especially my hosts, the Dickens family. | would love to come here again.
