Intellect Abounds in Honor Society, High-Q Community involvement was the goal of this year's National Honor Society. The Honor Society served and helped the State School for the Blind. A stronger club was formed by the active participation of old members along with the new. New members were initiated in front of the C. R. student body for the first time, instead of the traditional privately held ceremonies. All members accompanied by their parents were honored at a banquet dinner held at a local restaurant. The officers were: President, Kathy Hall, Vice-President, Anita Fletcher, Secretary, Susan Lemattag and Treasurer, Carolyn Hawke. Being a member of C. R.'s High-Q team is an intellectual exercise based on quick recall of facts and relationships - a challenging kind of competition, quoted advisor Mrs. Dona Drake. In the fall the team was outclassed by a more confident and experienced jackson High School team from Portland, Oregon, that defeated the team. Mrs. Carole Franklin was an advisor to the team, also. Linda Beyer and Bill Cummins were prepared as the alternates for the team. anticipate the next challenging question. The team included B. Hughes, R. Skaggs, B. Hill- atx it if g . pr..

Various Events Keep Girls League Active As the doors closed on the school year of 1972, Co-Girls League Presidents, Susan Lematta and Cheryl Pearson, assisted by Tracy Baynes, worked on organizing a Big - Little Sister program to start the activities off for the up- coming year of 1972-1973. The Big - Little Sister program was one that acquainted the sophomore girls with the school and some of their fellow classmates. Senior and jun- ior girls were contacted during the summer and were asked to be big sisters. Each girl that volunteered was given two or three sophomores for little sisters. In August, a party was held to let the girls get acquainted. Meetings were held on the average of once a month to discuss the coming events the club had planned. Selling of concessions at a football game, the Girls' League representa- tives decorating the Christmas tree, and donating food bas- kets to the Salvation Army during the holiday season, pre- paring and planning for Tolo, and sponsoring the Senior 1 Girls and Mothers' Coffee Hour were the activities that l kept the group occupied. 1 l GIRIS' LEAGUE: C0-Pmidenti, S.

Victoria and Heather Comment on Life in U.S. I think the biggest impression Iive formed through my experi- ence so far here in the U.S. is that there seems to be a much faster pace generally in the way of life here than in my home country of New Zealand, stated Heather Craddock. School too is very different to my school at home. I find school here is very liberal compared to most New Zealand high schools. As well as wearing school uniforms, there are such rules as no make-up or jewelry for girls, long hair on girls must be tied back and boys' hair must not be longer than the collar. I enjoy the more wide and varied choice of subjects available here at C. R. and I have taken advantage of taking subjects I've never had before or are not available in New Zealand high schools, such as C.W.P. and Critical Thinking. One thing I was surprised about on my arrival to C. R. was the almost universal wearing of blue jeans. I also must admit that it has certainly been an experience to wear clothes I want instead of the same school uniform every day. It's really been great having a sister this year. Through her I have learned many different things about New Zealand and its people. I have enjoyed sharing experiences with her as a sister and hate to see her go, commented Cindy Remley, Heather's Ameri- can sister. When I arrived to Portland Airport a group of people came to me smiling and welcoming me in different ways. I liked them and when I went to bed that night at my first home I felt very glad knowing that I had made twenty friends on the first dayf' quoted Victoria Unanue, from Argentina. On the third day of my stay I became a Chieftain Columbia River is a wonderful school, not only for its classes but also for its teachers who help me the most they can. The student body is really friendly and I love all the activities they get involved in. I felt at home staying with the Runyans and I'm enjoying the Landerholms in the same way. I really don't have enough words to express what they mean for me. You, Cindy and Jean, are the best sisters and I'm sure I'll have a good time with the Ryans and LaFaves. I'm having the nicest experience in this country beside my use- ful English practice and I think I was smart deciding to come, although . . . time is going so fast. I hope my family can visit the states next summer and get to meet these wonderful people of the Northwest. Cindy Runyan, Victoria Unanue, Cheryl I4Fave, and jean Landerholm.
