Not pictured are Flavia deOliveira from Brazil and Japanese stu- dent Kaori Hashizume. Flavia came to Emmaus in February of 1986 and left in January, 1987. Flavia became very active in school ac- tivities and played on the volleyball team. She was more than just another player. She was an integral part of the team. Someday she would like to return to America to study nursing. We hope Kaori is enjoying her stay at EHS. We were unable to talk with her personally, but the staff wishes her well in America. Student Life 27 FOREIGN EXCHANGE STUDENTS Uppsala, Sweden, said good-bye to Jesper Jonnson last fall when he left his homeland to experience life in America. Jesper's friendly smile and hardworking attitude have made him not only a warmly accepted student at school but also an excellent addition to the swim team. Jesper competed individually in the 200 IM at States and was also a member of the gold medal medly relay and silver medal freestyle relay. Says Jesper, I'll miss my friends and my host family. Everyone's been really nice.” Kerri Webber, who claims to “love American accents,” comes from the land down under — Australia. Her own accent harmoniz- ed well with the others in the school choir, of which she is a member. Kerri arrived in the middle of our school year. However, with her bubbly personality and outgoing manner, she had a fairly easy time of getting in the swing” of things at school. Quoting Kerri: ”1 wanted to come to America because I’ve heard a lot about it from my grandparents. Americans are known in Australia as 'the mysterious Americans.’” (below) Mireille Manhes hails from Lyon, the second largest city in France. Concerning studies, Mireille says, American schools aren’t as hard. American schools are more strict. French schools are more theoretical. Also, we don’t have school buses.” Although he has traveled extensively around the globe, Alex Schmid calls Schwabisch Gmund, near Stuttgart, West Germany, home. Another athlete, Alex ran for the cross country team and was our ace tennis player. He feels that experiencing a foreign culture can be intimidating, but he has found it very worthwhile. According to Alex, I can see a big difference between the way the US is thought of in Europe and the real thing. Americans aren’t as stereotypical. Not everyone is 'New Yorky.’”

FOREIGN TRIPS Once again, Emmaus students traveled abroad to experience foreign cultures. Mr. Kohl journeyed to England and Ireland with 23 students from his various senior English classes, while Mrs. Delph took Latin students to Italy and Switzerland. While in England Mr. Kohl’s group, along with chaperones Mr and Mrs. Rieder, visited such attractions as Big Ben, the Tower of London, Buckingham Palace, Windsor Cas- tle, Stratford-Upon-Avon, and Oxford Univer- sity They then ventured to Ireland where they witnessed the breathtaking green Irish countryside, shopped in Dublin, kissed the Blarney Stone, and waded in the Irish Sea The Latin members had an equally ex- citing time traveling along the Mediterra- nean. In Italy they thrilled at such historic sights as the Coliseum, Roman baths, St. Peter’s Cathedral, the Vatican, and Roman ruins. Of course, they had their share of relaxation, too, enjoying a gondola ride through Venice and soaking in the view of beautiful Switzerland. Thanks to agreeable chaperones and cooperative students, the trips went off smoothly. Hopefully, with active participa- tion, they will continue. Ciao!! Can you spot the tourists in this picture? During a picture break, the Latin students rest and eat ice cream. Mr Kohl's kids'' stop in Anne Hathaway's garden for a group photo. Missy Lee and Tracy Breisch make friends with English Beefeaters at the Tower of London. The Leaning Tower of Pisa, one of the many sights visited by Latin students. 26 Student Life

BACHELOR AUCTION This March Emmaus saw an unusual type of fund raiser. Cookies or candy were not the wares being pedalled for weeks on end; this time it was students themselves who were being sold. Unable to hold Slave Day or the Dance Marathon for various reasons, the Key Club developed the idea of the Bachelor Bachelorette Auction. During the March activity period, Emmaus students crowded into the auditorium to buy a date, laugh at a friend, or just watch as 25 Key Club and student body members were auctioned off to the highest bidder. Later that month the Bachelors Bachelorettes and their dates went to the movies at the General Cinemas and to Cavaluzzo’s for pizza. Over all, the auction was a big success with the most expensive bachelor, Eric Clock, going for the high price of $65! All proceeds, which totalled over $1,000, were donated to fhe Muscular Dystrophy Association. John Costello and Lisa Sabe enjoying themselves on their date Christine Saxman asks the camera.
